Rodeway Inn Clearwater - Dunedin

When we got to the hotel we were told we had to leave a cash deposit that was never mentioned when booking the room. When we got to the room the bed top blanket had cigarette burns all over it, the sheets had yellow stains, and the bathroom towels had stains on them. The bed was rock hard. The furniture was all falling apart. There was a chemical like smell and the a/c was not keeping the room cool. The shower head was rusted and there was barely and water pressure. If we hadn't gotten into town about midnight we would of looked to find somewhere else to stay.

It's okay

The room was extremely outdated, dirty, and covered with stains and damage on the walls and furniture. It was the first time in my life that I avoided going back to my room because it felt so disgusting. To make matters worse, on my last morning the key cards stopped working. When I went to the front desk for help, the staff member was rude, complained to me, and threw the key card back at me. I felt completely disrespected. Overall, this was one of the worst travel experiences I’ve ever had. I would strongly recommend avoiding this place

Genuinely the worst hotel I have ever been to. Moldy, roaches, tried to tell me I l wasn’t getting a room with king bed when that’s what I payed for. Very scary room.

the room appliance were broke, the wall needs to be painted, the little small bathroom need to be replace totally

A/c ran constantly, roof had leaked and flooded the room. Ceiling was poorly painted over stains, bathroom door was mildewed, lighting was poor, no table lamps, no clock, trim was missing, tiny vanity was falling off the wall, no hot water so no shower! I will never stay in a Rodeway again!

Out-dated fiztures

This place was completely unacceptable. I booked for two nights but left at 6:30 in the morning after the first night with no sleep, as it was filthy and I felt like bugs were crawling on me all night. There was no one in the office to assist me or provide a refund for the night I did not stay, and despite reaching out, I have received no response. I have photos available if needed.

The property is very rundown roaches in the room bathroom door didn’t even close horrible accommodations

This is the worst motel I've ever stayed in. We rented 3 rooms in total for one night because we wanted to enjoy Clearwaterbeach, BIG MISTAKE! The rooms smelled horrible! There were holes in the walls, mold in the bathrooms with visible water damage. The floors were dirty, the linens were filthy, towels dingy and stained. THERE WERE LIVE ROACHES running around and my son had 2 (what we think were)fleas on him. We spent WAY too much money to sleep in a place worse than a dumpster.

Location was good for our purposes. The property needs repair and updating. The white sheets had numerous stains on them. There were holes in the walls. The towels are dingy and stained. Our shower curtain was ripped. It just didn’t look or feel clean. The rooms look different from the pictures.

We asked to see the room prior to checking in. After we saw it we left, and did not stay the night. The room and everything in it was old and very tired looking.

I didn't stay there. Roaches all over the bed and floor, holes in the walls, next door had music blaring and the lady passed out on my door step. I need to know how to get my $ back. Completely unsafe and unsanitary.

I needed this hotel location for convenient access to my purpose for travel, visiting relatives nearby. The kitchenette was nice, but I went to Walmart and bought a cheap coffee maker and K-pods for $24, then took it to my kids' house when I checked out. Only problem I encountered, besides the disrupted highway access due to road construction was that hot water was rather unreliable. The room's climate control was good quality, and the room was comfortable overall.

This place is terrifying. Upon check-in, the owner told me that he just gave my first floor room away about 10 minutes ago and I would have to go upstairs. No problem but a weird thing to say. The room was a dump. The bed and sheets appeared to be clean, but there were cracks in the walls, furniture, broken, and in dis repair, and no hot water. The worst part was, the owner got a fight with someone right next-door. There was yelling and throwing things until about 2 AM when the other person left.We paid for two nights, but did not go back after the first one. This place is a complete dump. Stay away.

yes

Smelly no amenities

Hotel is not well maintained. Broken cabinets, water stains on ceiling. Place is worn out

Clean. Nice staff

They had nice bathroom towels but stained.The place is rundown, paint peeling off, toilet moved, the shower head was falling off, and the water diverter no working properly.

Room and staff. Accidentally booked a smoking room, didn’t know they still offered that. No biggie, that was on me! However there was mold on the ceiling, the room smelled as such as well. Could have maybe been the WINDOW UNIT that is mounted into the wall! The toliet moved every time you sat down or got up, to the point I thought our child fell in the bathroom. The cabinets were falling apart. The bed leg was nearly broken off and the “blankets” that were on the bed felt like the curtains that were hung up! Booked the room for 4 people; 2 adults and 2 kids yet there was only two towels left. The door although locked still appeared to be open! The shower took nearly 10 minutes to become like warm! 10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! I personally do not feel that it would pass any health inspection performed!

Room was subpar and outdated. Staff was absolutely horrible. I left and stayed with my son who had the flu. I wish i came to the reviews because every review said exactly what i experienced amd their auto reply says they will work harder to correct their problems. They dont care about any of their problems and its obvious. Money grubbers and very sterotypical of their kind.

Ok, construction diminished atmosphere. Good location, nice pool.

Too many permanent residence people. Heard fighting all night would never go back.

Location proximity to where I was going Room: toilet bowl needs to be secured to stop the rocking. The face basin drained slowly

I refused to stay after seeing roaches

Everything

It was dirty had roaches and no hot water to bathe

Everything was fine

Big rooms. Good service

Drug infested. Someone broke into my room and stole everything and they did nothing.

The sheets on the bed had holes stains. It was very dirty the floor there was a roach there and it smelled really bad.

The staff were helpful when i needed my room keys reset and they cleaned when needed, but i would not stay here again because the first night my daughter had a cockroach crawl on her. I ended up seeing a second one later and my other daughter next door to us had them in her room too. I have to keep my luggage outside now that im home so i dont bring an infestation inside. I did not address it with staff because i figured it probably wouldnt change anything.

I pulled in and immediately asked for. Refund. Quite possibly the worst place on the highway. Dirty, run down, lots of vagrants. If you want to ruin your trip go here, unless you like dirt, drugs and booze all around you.

This is a very bad hotel experience . There are many vagrant people gathered outside the hotel . There are dis laying on the different floors . It felt like a dangerous place to stay . Room was run down . Toilet paper holder tore off wall . Main door security lock would not function. To many people hanging out outside -operators must be renting rooms out by week or month. People sitting outfitter rooms with doors open . Vagrancy feel . Scary .

Bugs and roaches in room. We ran out of toilet paper at 11 at night and front desk refused to give us another roll and told us we’d have to wait til the next day when housekeeping was there. Are you kidding me?

Worst stay I've ever had in my life.

Looks good on outside u til you get into a rroom No hair dryer, TV didnt work, mattress was lumpy and hard, and saw a roach.

Nothing

Roaches everywhere. Dirty. Staff dont care

Tbd

Roaches came with the room. Unwanted roomates. We went out and bought roach kill....This hotel needs to either be demolished or needs to be remolded. F plus. Hotels.com needs to take it off their listing.... needs refund for sure....

There is nothing worse than waking up to roaches running over you. Hardly slept at all. Guests yelling beeping their horns could hear the guest next door and then in the morning the maids use shopping carts to clean the rooms, and you hear them all day.

Yes

Room was scary, and the ac was not cooling the room.

Paid for a king room was given a double an wasn't compensated for the difference I really want my money back I didn't even stay I I booked in and then clocked out I'd like I did not stay there and can I get my money back

You certainly get what you paid for - do to a booking snafu I was in need of a a cheap room for one night quick. Needless to say, a $79 dollar room in Florida, is exactly what you expect it would be. To be fair, the room was clean. But clearly there was patched repair work to many spot in the walls, the AC unit in the room was on its last legs and there was a gap at the bottom of the door that allowed cigarette smokers from the other guests to waft in the room on a putridly humid night. The box spring bed was no treat either. I didn’t bother to unpack and hoped to baby Jesus that I wouldn’t be covered in bed bugs when I left in the morning, which I wasn’t and wanted to provide some positive feedback. The place looked run down and can definitely use some TLC, but like I said, you get what you pay for.

The sheets was dirty. The AC didn't work. No cold water. There was roaches in the rooms. The blankets had lots of holes in them. The walls was dirty.

Is the worst place i’d ever been we could t spent the night we left

cockroaches in the room everywhere

Bugs in the room and non smoking room had a stench of cigarettes

Bare bones an beat up, left an went to a different hotel

Just don't go, I'm sure the owners are nice people but infested w bugs, the kind that hide in your boot and come home with you FOREVER!!

I was charge for a fee for 2 service animals. The property manager stated that my visitor could only be there for 15 minutes or she would charge me for another adult. She charged me a whole $240 extra. I tried to leave on Friday instead on Saturday. I was told I wouldn’t get a refund. The people there are money hungry and the pool was nasty. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to the roaches. Not to mention it was roaches infested. Not to mention the ac didn’t cool the room and there was a hole in the bathroom door.

Mgr was hard to get attention even though he was sitting on couch. Got to room had to fight the roaches off. Slept in the carnext morining asked for coffee. Stated gas station 10 min down the road. Asked for refund. For my 3 night stay.Owner refused.

TV changer doesn't work. No mat in the bathtub that it's slippery to stand up in the bathtub to take a shower.

Condition of this property is horrible

Not recommended for anyone even the homeless dose not like it

Roaches tweakers swimming pool looked murky no phone prison soap

Cops three times

The rates were reasonable. They have a pool. First off, it's always impossible to turn in because of all the roadwork, but that's not any of their fault. We arrived in the evening and there was a whole bunch of construction workers outside in the parking lot. They were partying, there was loud music playing.. They're partying above the lobby on the little terrace thing. Before he even made it to the room, somebody stopped me and asked me if I could get any cocaine. The room was dirty, butt was supposed to be clean. I think i've read around blankets because the once on the bed had loose debris and trash on them. And my favorite part is the cockroaches, probably that were all over the room play like it was nothing. Complain to the owner. I don't know whoever was working in the front desk about the room. Cleanliness about the cockroaches and about the fact that the Wi-Fi is pretty much non-existent. Although they claim to have it. And they were not in this rooms, and they said that it was nonrefundable, so we were stuck here because we absolutely already paid for it. This was a terrible experience and a waste of my hard earned money and I'm very very beyond disappointed. There were no plugins, except for like one.By the sink outside the bathroom or one in between the beds period they didn't even have the microwave plugged in.So I had to unplug the first two bucket in and the television channels do not work.

After changing my room because the water didnt work around 2am the man next door with a dog was out drinking and tried to come in my room many times i had to yell out to him

Cold water in the shower and I had to fill the toilet reservoir myself to flush it every time.

Upon checking in, we were shown both rooms in our booking. I was charged $40 for my pets' stay with us. A smell that was not noticed at first was evident in one of our rooms, a heavy mildewy smell. While both rooms had kitchen sinks and refrigerators, they also had roaches. My dogs were the cleanest additions to this property. We had to plunge one toilet. One shower came out half from the spout into the tub and half from the shower. The trash can outside our rooms was filled and overflowing, and never emptied. Within 5 minutes of checking in, a police car showed up and 2 people who had been hanging around the front lobby were spoken to by police. It appeared that some people live in this place. The pool area looked great, but it is right in front next to the busy highway under construction, and the next morning when those trucks and machinery geared up, it was very noisy. I undersrand this is a temporary matter, but until then, do not expect a restful stay.

No hot water to take a shower, the room smelly, therefore no bottles water to buy in the lobby, and the cockroaches crawling around the sink. Shower handle is broken. Absolute not recommended for anyone to stay.

Bugs and lizards abound. Stay away!

Quite old and worn, though clean.

Cockroaches. Toilet rocking. Toilet tank filling with water and not shutting off. Lukewarm water. Musty smell. Water stains on ceiling. Rusty lamp. Cracks and peeling plaster. Squeaky fan noise. Can’t believe they rented for 160$ a night. Would have canceled if it hadn’t been so late. Never again. Street under construction in front of hotel. Very noisy in the morning.

We checked out the day we checked in. The smoke detector was missing, but wires were exposed, there were long exposed nails not flush with bottom of cabinets, cabinets did not close, knobs we’re missing, the AC unit was plugged in on same wall next to bathroom sink, the toilet seat had burn marks, an interior door had packing tape running down the length of the door…. We don’t know if it was a closet or an adjoining room, the sink had ants in it. This was room number 115. Please investigate. We were too afraid to even spend one night there.

Found cockroaches in the room. Staff is friendly from what i encountered. I got my refund though. Construction in the area makes it difficult to access.

Peaceful and clean

Bueno para una estadía tranquila

People on stairways, dirty room, blankets pillows. was last minute,, never again.

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at, there was roaches coming from every outlet in the walls, theres a lady that stay in 122 its smells like theres a dead animal in her room

Honestly I didn’t even commit to staying. Looked as though homeless people were hanging outside

Upon entering the room, the stench was unbearable. I returned to the front desk and was given another room, which smelled and looked as putrid. The room had many spackled patches and holes in the walls. The bedspread had multiple holes. The light above the sink contained several dead bugs. The exterior hallway where the ice machine was located reeked of weed. Needless to say, I slept in my car. Unfortunately, your site does not have a zero star. This facility needs to be removed from your suggestion list.

Wound up not staying bc the hotel was disgusting. Would like to be contacted for a refund

They need to spray for roaches and need new beds

The door wasn’t fitted to the frame; it took effort to close and lock it. The toilet wasn’t anchored to the floor—it rocked! All fixtures were old to the point of rusting. The “kitchenette”, was a collection of (previously used, I’m sure) unmatching, paint-flaking cabinets and countertop. The only reason I stayed at all was because it was late, and I was exhausted from staying at a family members deathbed. I’m sorry there’s not a “no-star” rating. I’ll never stay again.

Lady at check in was very rude. Room was very run down with holes in walls and bugs everywhere

It was close to the dr office where I had appointment. Able to rest before the ride home next day. The room was very cozy.

This hotel is a dump and should not even be allowed to stay in business. I am not even sure why the authority having jurisdiction is allowing this hotel to continue trying to sell it's service to the general public. I was scheduled to stay three (3) nights, but only stayed the initial night. Even then, we contemplated several times that night to pack up and leave; however, it was late and really had not other play to go.

Room stunk and was horrible to get to

Two places to eat close, super busy trying to cross the street. eatnearlydrinks

no free coffee in am grit or sand on floor

Found cockroachs on the room, bathroom and beds, doors not locking properly and no one clean my room during the stays

There rude they have roaches and some of there rooms smell like dead animals would not recommend at all

The first room the TV did not work the air conditioning didn't work and the door didn't lock and it smelled horrible and was disgusting she then moved us to another room which it had burn holes and holes all in the comforter overpowering baby powder smell and there were bugs literally on the bed

room needed up dating. room door would not close all the way. cracked plaster. bathroom door was kicked in at one point. needs fixing. traffic was very noisy. Room was a great size. should have lamps on both night stands

Reserved a non smoking room online. But once I arrived at the hotel they only had smoking room available. The smell was so bad in the room. That I left after the first night. Because I couldn’t deal with smell anymore. There were holes in the curtain.

Bed spread had several looked like cigarette burn holes and it looked like some red jelly glob on the spread luckily it had 2 beds so i didn't have to sleep in that . I was afraid to look to close to yhe other bed. Why would they not just throw that away. Believe me i understand about saving money when you own a business but that was disgusting. The shower drain was pited..nastyand the air conditioner looked like it was on its last leg

Water is piped backwards. Ceiling appears to have mold on it.

The cleaning staff was excellent. Front office lady for check in was not a happy camper when I told her the reservation was paid already. Bad communication between experia, hotels.com and hotel.

Hotel is being upgraded, so there is a lot of distraction. That combined with the extensive highway repairs being done on HWY 19 (not hotels fault) prevents a quiet atmosphere at this time.

Construction on the road caused major traffic issues. we needed a convenient in and out of the facility. It was so difficult to get there so we didn't stay there.

Rooms are old and not maintained. Bottom of bathroom door rotted or kicked out. Looks dirty in general. Bed very uncomfortable. Lumpy. Room smelly! And a screaming fight outside our door at 3:30 in the morning. We only needed a place to sleep because we were visiting family so thought we would give this a try. Never again!

Anazing

This was one of the worse places I have ever stayed. Be aware there are many homeless people “put up” here. Trash everywhere,full ashtrays everywhere,my room smelled like old cigarettes,things rippped off walls,commercial lighting over bed, bugs crawling all over,bed felt broken, people yelling, cars coming and going…if I had not paid for it(way overpriced) I would have left. I am still feeling itchy all over and quite ill over last night’s stay. DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE!

Roaches in bathroom

All was well and good

It’s a dump and for a $100 a night I was stupid for thinking in the pictures it looked decent it’s a dump not overstating with it being very matter of fact. I don’t know what the mattress and pillow are but there not a mattress or pillows. $100 Shane on me, not fooled again I promise I won’t come back or recommend. Not saying anyone couldn’t stay here just being honest heads up and matter of fact no problem there sorry not sorry if that hurts other feelings but the place is a dump. At a $100 no sir

Nice

The room had bugs and smelled funny. TV and channels were good and the room was large.

Absolutely disgusting, dead bugs everywhere and live ones crawling all over the place.

This place needs an exterminator and a visit from the health Dep. ASAP

I liked where I stayed. Everything worked as it should

No coffee pot in room or on premises...

The room and hotel was not acceptable. You guys have it a 4 star. I believe it should not even be on your website .

I found this hotel to be a good value. The staff was helpful and the room was clean. The shower was especially nice -- the tile looked relatively new and the water pressure was strong. If you're looking for a value play on a hotel in the Clearwater area I recommend the Rodeway Inn.

Staff very helpful; check in speedy; unit noticeably aged

Will not stay there again had a lot of people hanging outside looked like an extend day type of place very noisy and the room next to us had such a bad smell it had the room we was in smelling as well and they played loud music

This property should not even be listed

I was staying only 2 nights in this property. However, I didn’t like the staff that was giving the room which the door wasn’t immaculate. The water system was not really hot and warm enough in order to take a shower. Otherwise, everything was fine to consider eventually.

Conditions of room are bad,

good area, clean room, they had some technical issues during our stay but it was resolved quickly

The front desk staff were rude and the property was dirty and old.

First Room we got smelled like cigarettes' the bathroom like it just got used, the door didn't closed correctly and it had a busted knob, the manager help us out to get into a "Better room" that it was just a little bet better

Ok

Ok

It was okay for the price. The room was not what I'm used too.

I went there with a paid room showed the guy he could not find my reservation completely confused with a language barrier so they're for 2 hours. Completely having a meltdown I gave up and went down the street who got me right in at Howard Johnson. I would never recommend this place terrible customer service and even after paying he told me to come back in the morning when I just had an Uber drop me off at midnight never recommend this place

False advertising- the pictures online show nice, new, clean rooms and a decent looking property but it is a run down roach motel. The painted over black mold and cockroaches caused my wife to have an allergic reaction to the toxic environment and she ended up in the ER to get treated for hives. Doors were broken and unable to lock them, this is not safe. Room was filthy. Zero refund policy at the property dispite these conditions. We checked out after 1 night of our two night stay.

Shower does not work

The front door did not lock as it was missing parts. Two large dogs living in the unit next door that barked loudly late at night. No hot water in the morning. Had to find another place to stay.

Disgusting stained sheets and broken toilet and handles.

Nove

Tv was not working paint was peeling out of the walls and ceiling there was molded and smell molde I did leave the hotel after 30 minutes recepción did not what to guive me any prove of refund

Excellent services

Never stayed in a driver tried to check in at 4am 15 minutes after my booking and was told I need to check at 3pm. Which was useless to me. I continued on to my destination two hours away on no sleep and was not refunded.

Didnt like anything about the Property. Had to leave a day sooner and was refused my last day refund.

My wife and I stayed there 19 year ago. So we thought we give it a try again. Room was clean. It had a good refrigerator. No coffee pot or closets to hang clothes? Bed was conformable with clean sheets. Pool was nice also. We bought a coffee pot at Walmart because the office had nothing in the morning. We would, and will, come again. I didn't think it was bad for the price. Didn't experience any troubles posted online. Construction and traffic is terrible on SR19. Not Roadways fault!

Very good

It was not well cleaned and cigarette holes were on the sheets though I ask for a non smoking room.

Having prepaid through Orbitz, I was quite shocked to find I needed to make an additional deposit, and very specifically, in cash upon arrival. The roads are under heavy construction and we missed the entrance and had to spend another 30 minutes getting back to it, due to the aforementioned construction. Upon entering the room, we discovered both the television and the in room phone were broken. There were no bedside lamps, only a very bright fluorescent light installed over the bed that you had to walk across the room to turn on or off when entering. There was no hot water. The bed was hard and very uncomfortable. They gave us 4 very tiny pillows for a king size bed, so bring your own if you plan on stayong here. We had a concert to go to and when we returned at 11pm, we decided to just go ahead and check out and make the 90 minute drive home. Thats how bad it was.

First thing I saw was roaches. Bad start. Then there were cigarette or some kind of burns on the bed. The door did not lock unless you used the bar that flips over. If you leave the room, you can’t lock it. Why I’m saying all this? No way I was staying in that room after I saw at least 5 roaches. I have video proof. Front desk guy was doing his best and that was appreciated. I just wanted to sleep. Moved me to the room next door. Pretty sure that wasn’t going to solve the bug problem. Didn’t see any roaches. Still burns on sheets and covers. One of the locks didn’t work but it would lock if you left the room and the key would open the door 👍. A/C looked 20 years old and had no vent slats but it produced cold air. I’m ready to sleep. For some reason I fall asleep to the sound of the TV. Well, TV wouldn’t turn on. Called front desk and he came immediately. I said “the only thing I didn’t check was if it was plugged in”. You guessed it, not plugged in. Then the remote didn’t work. Had to get up to turn TV On or OFF. Fell asleep 😴. Woke up to go to restroom. Hello there Mr. Roach on the toilet seat. Good thing I didn’t just plop down on the seat and hear a little crunch. So, bugs probably crawled on me, but I was so tired. Next day, ice machine not working. Oh yeah, the refrigerator shelves on the inside of the door were duct take. To keep stuff from falling out. Classy 👍. There’s more but you get the picture. AWFUL!!!

It was like walking into a Saw trap. I didn’t know what was going to surprise me next. The furniture was broken and falling apart. There was what appeared to be dried blood on the sheets. There were holes in the walls and pieces of the ceiling were falling down. There was no hot water. I do NOT recommend this place for your stay. When I went to the front desk to voice my concerns all I got was faked shock and half hearted apologies with no offers of remediation. I checked out immediately and went elsewhere.

Damaged walls, trim falling off, and smelled bad.

For the money it was about right. Rooms were in need of updating.

As stated above

It’s quiet and very clean

The property needs repairs, at least room 124.

Cigarette hole on bedspread and sheets not changed. Rest of room and bathroom clean. Definitely have long term guests living in hotel. For a quick night was what was needed but will not rebook this location. 10 minutes up the road is a better looking Rodeway Inn
