Rodeway Inn Charlotte South

My husband and I never even got the chance to check in. The front desk employee was extremely rude when asked about the questionable cash only deposit that he demanded that we give. When I explained that I booked online through Expedia and that I can put a deposit on my credit card, he took out a list of guest names stating that it was a list of all of the people who gave the cash deposit and would get it back. He then further stated that if we didn’t like it, we could go elsewhere. That is exactly what we did. We would not recommend this location to anyone due to the rude employee engagement, questionable cash only ”policy”, and the cleanliness of the location upon arrival.

Very good

stayed for 4 nights tv wasn't working at first the manager came in an fixed it, also there was a few bugs in the bathroom.

Charge an additional fee of $50. Not mention on the website. Even if you don’t have the extra $50 for them to hold and actually stay they will not refund the money you spent on booking the room. Little man at the desk was extremely rude and unprofessional

Nice but, livation could have been safe

Hotel room was falling apart. Damaged television and sink faucet. Only good thing was the shower.

Clean room. Great accommodations!

Very good

Deposit always different then day of check out they give you a different amount

They tell you you have to pay a 25 deposit they you get back at check out.. then turn and don’t want to give it back .. the next day I booked with them the deposit went up to 30 at checkout they didn’t want to give me my money back…

Spotless room and great staff! Will recommend them to anyone I know!

Muy buen sitio y las habitaciones estan excelentes condiciones

Check-in staff was very nice. Room was as expected for the rate. This was our 2nd night at this motel. My kids and I were getting ready to checkout and this man I had never seen came to our door TWICE before checkout time. The first time, he knocked. The second time, he used his key. He was also VERY angry with me for smoking- In a room designated for smoking. (Or so I was told at check-in both nights). Turns out, he was working in the office that morning. Very rude. We came back that night and he demanded a $100 deposit as opposed to the $25 I had paid the first two nights. 0/10 would not recommend if he is working.

The hard beds, the roaches, the poop or boogers wipes on the walls beside the toilet, the blood sprayed on the walls. The burn stains everywhere, and God only knows what the other stains were. The whole place reeked of Weed. Had men knocking on our door in the middle of the night wrong room though. That place needs a deep deep deep cleaning. I have plenty more photos but it will only let me post 4

Nothing the rooms were nasty and the beds uncomfortable their was literal shit or something wipes on the walls beside the toilet their was blood on the walls looked like someone squirted from a syringe. Also had people knocking on our doors in the middle of the night they had the wrong room. Oh and roaches. Had we not been completely exhausted we would have left and drove the ride back home. We had to take showers soon as we got home and clean out our bag to make sure we didn't bring any bugs home. This motel wasn't worth $20 a night. I want my money back PLEASE.

Very clean and comfortable Clientele a little rough

Enjoyed staying here definitely would recommend and return

Wasn’t able to use card for deposit didn’t know about cash deposit before booking

Everything was above and beyond, smooth check in and great staff to help with any concerns.

It was pleasant but key kept acting up had to go to front desk everyday

The reception area smelled like pot. The attendant wanted me to give a cash deposit. The room was run down and repairs and upgrades were done poorly, but it was clean.

The hotel was quiet and peaceful. The lights in the room were way too bright. More like outdoor lights. The mattress was not of good quality and was not very comfortable

Nasty service nasty room

Staff is awesome

I booked two nights to handle business. I left for the day. When I returned I found out that I was checked out and my belongings were removed from the room. I was told that I never checked in and no one was ever in the room.

I wouldn’t recommend staying at this hotel

The made me wait two hours before I was allowed to stay then told me that my check it time was ten.Staff was threatening,prejudice

The room was dirty. The receptionist or boss was rude. The pictures are very misleading also.

Rude, nasty employees when asked questions told don't know or just ignore you

When we checked in, we were told there was no rooms for us. The receptionist said I had to call Expedia solve this problem by myself. The lobby was dirty and couch had stain on it. Smell was bad also. If I knew I wouldn’t book this hotel. And it’s awful we paid the room and credit was charged but there was no room and we got stuck there for two hours , couldn’t get help from Expedia service. The receptionist just ignored us.

Food left in microwave for I don’t how long. Rust everywhere, leaking toliets

The attendant at the desk told us he cancelled all Expedia reservations because they were already full. Expecting my money back

What is,even worse is that this owner also kwns a pharmacy so imagine how prescriptions are processed a letrine is cleaner than that infested so called hotel

Would never go there again

I actually didn't stay in the room because upon arrival, the night clerk couldn't find my reservation. Honestly, he really appeared out of it/altered, but he made no attempt to look up the reservation I made through hotels.com and offered no suggestions. It's probably a blessing in disguise though because the hotel was not in a great neighborhood, and the condition of the front office (not very clean, the office chairs (behind the bank teller style window) were torn and old, the desk was a mess, and there were typos and misspellings on the signage taped to the window) led me to believe the room would have not been clean or comfortable, nor would it have been necessarily safe. The cab driver who took me there was so hesitant about the area he personally escorted me inside. I'm absolutely shocked this even has two stars and I think hotels.com should remove them from their listings...at the very least a representative from hotels.com should visit the site.

Hotel did not allow me to use the Hotel.com reservation, so at 2 AM I had to pay again to use the room. Hotel pool filled with dirt and weeds. TV in the room has no cable feed ... just snow on the screen. Wake up call was late. I can go on forever. Hotel reminds me of a flop house in a third world country. Less than a minus five rating.

Not for business travelers or females.

Shampoo and soap in ketchup packets. Towels so rough you could shave with them. I woke up in the middle of the night swearing I felt something crawl up my ear canal. No Wifi access code that worked. Pillows so thin you can see through them. Check-in through a bullet proof window. All airlines had cancelled flights, this is what i was able to reserve. Maybe a good place for an off the grid affair or some cloak and dagger activities.

Provided me a resting place...

The tub was stopped up, until they felt it was an inconvenience to them if they hadn't fix it, -Literally. The water began to leak, and then they wanted to fix it.... I paid for the room one day 15 mins before check out. The lady in the front office insisted on calling my room one hour before, repeatedly to tell us we'll have to leave. So disrespectful, she was. To top it off, No Internet, as Promised. My husband and I we do most of our work digitally. After all, this is the digital age, and we couldn't do any work. When aksed what the issues was, we were told it was off. We stayed roughly 18 days, with no internet. We lost more money than we made. Thank you Budget Inn.... Joshua E. Loveson

Place was gross, bugs crawling everywhere and toilet was dirty

Bad looking neighborhood. Room was clean. Hotel in great need of remodeling. We did see bugs a couple times. Would not return!

first thing i did when i walked in was kill a roach that ran under the bed. We stayed up all night killing roaches that ran across the wall every 5-10 minutes. We had to put sheet and pillows to the door to try to keep them out. Never again.

As a single guy looking for a room that I planned on keeping my eyes closed for most of the time, Budget Inn was just fine. The AC worked, the fridge was cold, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. I would have no hesitation to stay there again.

The motel looked janky from the outside, and the desk service lady was almost rude. The room was musty and the shower leaked water on the floor, but the king bed was immaculately clean and quite comfortable. If you don't have to have a classy room, this motel is tolerable for a budget.

it was so scarey I pulled the desk in front of the door, very little sleep that night and unfortunately for me I stayed 2 nights - my room was not cleaned in between and it smelled like a smokers room. why didn't I complain to management? I was too scared to come out of my room!

Good price, but the place was creepy, run-down. Not recommended for any but the most desperate traveller.

This hotel and location is horrible.

I had booked a room with a king size bed because I was visiting my cousin who just doesn't have the room for me. As it turns out, we wound up needing to stay together in the hotel, so I asked for 2 double beds, one for me and one for her. The Hotel charged us extra per night for this minor convenience. The choice between 2 smaller beds and a king size bed is a pretty standard same price choice, but not here. The hotel wasn't even at 70% occupancy, and the switch was accomplished with a few button pushes, hardly mandating a surcharge. Further, the bedding was just awful. The pillows were lumpier than oatmeal, obviously many years old, and the mattress bounced like a ball. You could even feel the metal through what was left of the padding. For the same money, I could have had a considerably better hotel.

This is not a hotel to stay in for multiple nights. One night will be about all you can handle. Because I got in late and left early, it was just right for the price. The hotel is definitely in need of major repairs, so if building cosmetics is important to you, then don't stay here. The description said premium bedding, however my covers had cigarette burns in them. The description states there is an iron and ironing board in the rooms, but there wasn't. When I went to the front desk to ask for one, they did not have one. The carpet seemed like it needed shampooing. The tube TV was not clear at all. I will say the man at the from desk was extremely nice and professional.

the bathroom had a big hole in the door , the bed i sat down roaches stared running the lights kept flickin off and on the office door had a bullet hole in it there were guys drinking all over the place ugh a hole i can go on and on

It is not what you see in the pictures. There are so many things you are not satisfied.Paint of wall is not completed. There is a hole around a power outlet. The glass door of office is broken and so on. You can find other hotel paying more 20 bucks. Then you will be satisfied.

The hotel had a pool.... however, it did not have any water in it. The room did not resemble the photo and the faucet in the tub leaked the whole time I WAS THERE. there WAS A SIGN POSTED THAT THE ROOMS WERE ALL RENOVATED....THEY LIED. They only had basic cable TV.

It was in a dangerous neighborhood,and this changes everything.

it was awful!!! got bit by bugs time we walked in the building!!!!

it was horrible,nasty,and wouldn't be a place for a dog to stay at...nasty and just over all it needs to be tore down..

The room was very comfortable and mostly clean. Unfortunately, the bed did not have a fitted sheet and a flat sheet was used for this purpose. The toilet paper holder in the bathroom almost fell out of the wall. The tub drain had small broken pieces of soap that filled the tub drain. Other than that I did enjoy the stay. It was quiet and comfortable and mostly clean for an older hotel.

We arrived at the hotel to find the pool closed, and I mean no repairs looked like the had some trash in the area, which would have been a main factor for us. We get checked in and go to room the fire alarm is doing it's alert beep for dead battery, when I called front and told them all they said was "Yeah". I had to ask them if they were going to do something about it. Then I look around and realize they gave us a non-smoking room when I reserved smoking. When I went down to desk, the man was very short with me and once I showed him the confirmation I had from the site asked if I wanted to switch rooms. This is the worst place I have ever stayed and would not recommend to anyone.

It definitely was NOT worth even the "savings". It is run down and smelled of marijuana. On top of that, when I arrived, the clerk tried to tell me the king size smoking room I paid for wasn't available and tried to offer me a double queen room. I got the room I paid for, with no hesitation so obviously they DID have one available. There was 1/4 a roll of TP in the bathroom and the beds are VERY firm. Never booking here again.

Tub had no stopper, bathroom door paint peeling, Overall a very old used hotel.

I ask for a non smoking room and I got a room that smell of dirty carpet and smoke. There was a food truck on the lot and people hanging around, did not seem like a safe place to be, check out as soon as I got there. I guess you get what you pay for!

Very loud. By highway. Not a good place for resting and it looks very unsafe.

I took one look upon driving up and cancelled my reservation. You get what you pay for.

This motel is close to the freeway, but it did not give us a warm and fuzzy feeling staying there. The room itself was in disrepair (minor fixes), but we have to say the shower seemed new and the bed was very comfortable.

The amenities listed on the hotel website are not factual. There is no breakfast served because the latest sanitation rating is a B (84.5). There is a coffee maker in the room but no coffee is provided. The rooms are not clean. The website claims to have a bar on site and restaurants within walking distance; however this is not true. Although I had already paid for my rooms via hotels.com, the hotel also charged me for the rooms. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, not even for a quick overnight stay.

As soon as we parked our car and started to unload luggage a scary man approached and was begging for money. Does this sound like a place you want to take your family?

I stayed in this hotel due to an unplanned stay in Charlotte. I hope to never return to this hotel. The service was horrible and the rooms are horribly dirty. In my room there was hair in the sink from the past client I assume and various items in the rooms were very sticky or dirty. The room I stayed in was smoke free but it smelled like somebody who smoked had lived there for several weeks. Overall I would give this hotel a 0/5. Horrible experience

For a two (2) star hotel is was fine. I stayed for 10 days and was most appreciative of the staff and owner (Sammy). He is a charming fellow who will make your requests a reality. There is also a great Spanish food truck on the property that makes the best tacos!

shower handle was broken, very noisy around 2 am every night

clean and quiet and comfortable

rachett!!!!!!!!

Found cockroach on the bathroom wall. Carpet felt wet and tiles felt sticky. No bedbugs though. Neighbors were having a party late in the night. Didn't feel safe outside. Good place to sleep for one night for a budget price if you lock the doors tight and don't mind bugs in the bathroom.

Front desk clerk was not friendly or helpful. Hotel was dirty and in disrepair. Room was dirty. Very few restaurant choices at this exit, which is why a food truck was parked in the hotel parking lot evidently. There is free parking, free WiFi, fridge and microwave in room. But we would never, ever, ever stay here again. Like ever!

This was by far the dirtiest, most smelly hotel I have ever seen. Mold on walls, strange hairs in the tub, this was a total disgusting hotel. The only way to fix it is to tear it down.

I booked this hotel because it was inexpensive, very close to Charlotte, and they allowed me to pay when I got there instead of immediately over the internet. I was expecting the worst after I read several dreadful reviews from this place. But when I got in the room I was relieved to see it was fairly clean, didn't smell bad, and had a microwave and a mini fridge. The Budget Inn is clearly a place you only want to sleep in a couple nights at the most, but if you're on a budget like I was this is a decent place to stay.

I needed a no frills place....i was happy with my 3 day stay.Room come with small refrigerator and microwave.

It was quiet, comfortable, and a clean up-dated room. Good value property.Nothing within walking distance. Lobby suggested unsafe location as little interaction with registration behind glass and steel. No coffee by 6:30 in the am on checkout as promised. Had to wake up management at 6:50 am to check out.

I love it an I will be back

If you are broke and need to stay one night, stay here. Otherwise, find somewhere else. The building is pretty run down. The rooms look like they haven't been renovated since 1982. There was mold all over the ceiling in the bathroom. The bathroom door looked like it was kicked in. The top lock of the door was missing. I needed a place to stay because it was really late and I was on a budget. It did it's job, but I wouldn't stay another night if I had to.

The hotel is not on a good part of town,hookers and drug dealers hang out around the hotel in wee hours .

On a budget, this hotel served its purpose perfectly. The staff was very nice and helpful. The room was clean. We needed somewhere to rest our head and shower and it was perfect. We even needed to extend out stay one day and we were accommodated. The taco/burrito stand near the hotel was perfect for a late night snack. :) thank you!

First rate customer service. Beautifully lush landscaping throughout. Tasteful after dinner chocolates and roses pedals on the pillows. You must try the grilled salmon with potato. It was a pleasure staying at this local.
