Rodeway Inn la Grande

Location by a gas station made me feel unsafe and it was noisy. The top latch on the door was broken so I felt unsafe. The sink in the bathroom backed up with water. Very old and outdated inn.

Only hotel I've been in for a while that I intentionally chose not to take a shower. The room was clean, but the TV screen was smaller than the screen on my phone.

Door was a little hard to.open. Very nice otherwise.

The staff was horrid

The motel was very old and tired and the beds showed that in spades. Also, it burned to the ground the night we stayed there. We were lucky to get our 2 cats out before our room went up.

We arrived at the location to find the office closed and the motel uninhabited. Tried to call the telephone number listed, a recording stated that the number was temporarily out of order or disconnected. We ended up staying at a different hotel in town.

This was a basic clean hotel. It was close to the street so you could hear traffic but we didn’t mind that. We’d stay there again.

Well cared for motel. Room was small but clean and comfortable. Bed was very comfortable. Staff was friendly and check in/out was painless.

I have only ever written one other hotel/motel review, and I've traveled extensively, but this was the worst night of "sleep" ever and warrants warning people. Pros: The desk agent was very friendly. For being such an old and not updated building, the room was very clean. Linens were soft! There's a mini-fridge (didn't try it) and microwave. Cons: Sketchy location. The back row of rooms faces a bank of bushes and is very dark. There are no vending machine on the property, and the tap water is gross. Chevron next door closes at 11pm. I was directed to vending machines at the motel down the street that was even more dark and creepy. We were in room 28. The mattress ​closest to the door literally sank in half when I sat on it! It was like a leaking airbed. The other mattress sank some but not as bad. I had to move my kids who were already sleeping onto the other mattress, since they weigh less. It was 40 degrees and rainy, so I turned on the baseboard heater. It's a dial without any markings other than off and on. At first I thought it wasn't working, but soon heat came blasting out. We all woke up an hour later dripping with sweat. It was like a sauna! I turned it way down and tried to go back to sleep. It didn't get any cooler. Eventually I turned it all the way off, but it still put out heat! By 6am, I plugged in the window a/c unit to the try to offset the heat, but it didn't help. At bare minimum, being able to sleep is the purpose of a motel. We didn't get that!
