I don't usually stay at a Rodeway Inn but decided to give this one a try because of the responses by management to reviews on the Choice website. My room was very clean. It was humid in the room. I assume that is because it is right next to the pool. The staff who checked me in didn't say much however when I came down for breakfast the customer service Nicole provided was great. She knows what hospitality means. Breakfast is a hot breakfast, bacon, sausage, eggs, biscuits and gravy, plus the waffle maker. Impressive for a small area. I would have given this review more of a 4.8 but can only give full stars.
What a pleasant surprise! For only $94 per night this place is way better than other hotels that charge $140 or more. Very clean. Responsive staff, quiet, nice clean pool. Grocery store and other stores conveniently located right across the street so I didn’t have to do any extra driving. Room was nicely air conditioned upon arrival (unlike previous night’s hotel where I arrived to a hot stuffy room). Good walkable location, not far from tourist attractions. Definitely the best value I have seen in a long time!!
I like to leave reviews, the good, bad.... I stay observant to let you know. No problems here, excellent rooms, clean and very well temp. Pool. (Upper 80°'s?) Hot tub( I didn't turn it on because i had my 4yro in with me) was about 95-97° not bad for idle temp. 24hr coffee, breakfast options where decent.
We stayed here while on a trip through Iowa . The motel consists of a main building and 3 out buildings. It's definitely an older motel, but it is kept clean. Our beds and pillows were very comfortable, the room was good-sized, and the staff were available for anything you needed. Very friendly also. Coffee was available 24/7, and the breakfast bar includes juice, cereal, breads and muffins and make-your-own waffles - which were very good. Would I stay here again? Yes
Nice rooms, great location, very good value. We always stay here when we visit Okoboji.
Rooms are very roomy and large, tile floors was nice. Owner was extremely accommodating with our timing, stay and need of a printer at 11pm! Over the top customer service and a nice suite to stay in before the lake. Thank you again! Well be back!
Surprised how comforting this little gem is very well kept had amazing service and room were clean and fresh and food was good and super good coffee
Overall clean, quiet and very comfortable. I got great sleep! Staff was friendly, the breakfast area maintained nicely. Details not up to par: toilet paper down to the last sheets and no more in the room. One bar of soap between the shower and sink.
Set 1 mile from West Okoboji Lake, this modern hotel with a portico is also 3 miles from Iowa Great Lakes Maritime Museum and 5 miles from Gulf Point State Park.
