Check in took 20 minutes per room. Staff not friendly. Restaurant at dinner time telling some people they stopped making food while taking orders from others. You had to wait in line at the desk to sigh pool towels in and out. However convenient for airport and cruise port if you need for 1 night. Would never stay for longer than 1 night

The check-in is painfully slow. We had a delayed flight and were checking in on Dec. 31st right before midnight. I stood in line for 20 minutes or more. I got out of there right before 12:00 AM. I would have cried if I spent my first minutes of the new year in that lobby :( They really need to figure something out with the check-in because having to wait forever in line, twice, was awful. The smell in the lobby is overpowering and headache inducing. Another person said "grandma smell". I couldn't agree more. The lobby could use an updated look. And aroma.
The man who checked us in on the virtual check-in was very nice. He was moving through guests faster than the in-person employees.

This hotel came in clutch when we had a last minute problem with our original hotel. Booing online saved about $60 and we got a room same day. The service at the desk was very slow, there was a line and everyone took about 20 minutes to check-in. I was actually impressed by how clean the room was. The bathroom was really nice looking too. Only downside was thin walls so you could hear people outside at night.

My flight was delayed & I needed a place to rest my head and Rodeway Inn had a room available right away. Room was pretty awesome. Good location, breakfast was included and really good lowkey. However, privacy has been interrupted by staff (not negatively thankfully). Also, housekeeping kept opening the door even though I told that I will check out and leave at 12:00 PM. She kept saying OK and still came back multiple times (couldn’t sleep in).

The shuttles were the best thing about this motel. Free, to and from the airport, and to and from the cruise ports.
We were absolutely disappointed in the customer service. Walking into the lobby we were assaulted with heavy incense. I could barely stay long enough to check in. There are three people at the counter, and they seem not to have any urgency at all.
This motel was chosen because it has free shuttles from the airport and to the cruise port. Our first room, before our cruise, was sufficient. It was clean, and the beds were comfortable. We were only there to sleep.
The next day, breakfast was super crowded, but that could be the amount of ships leaving that day. Isaac had the shuttles to the cruise ports very organized. We left when we were told we would and we arrived at the cruise port in good time. So much easier than an Uber, we were delivered directly to the luggage porters.
We had a late flight out so we chose to come back and purchased a “day room“. After about an hour wait at the cruise dock, we were able to get a free shuttle back to the motel. Although we had already purchased our day room, there was an even longer wait to check in the second time. If your intention is to spend the afternoon by the pool and get more sun before your flight out, it was an economical choice. Our second room was not as good as our first. The shower pan was damaged and water leaked into the bedroom area. You can tell it was a consistent problem.
However, the pool was heated and clean and there were plenty of loungers.
My recommendations to management: Clean and paint the elevator. Remove the overwhelming incense smell in the lobby. Do better maintenance on the rooms.
