What guests think

Across the reviews, Rodeway Inn Columbus West draws repeated complaints about serious cleanliness issues, frequent roaches and some bed bugs, smoke odors in nonsmoking rooms, and maintenance problems such as broken AC or showers and missing basic items.

Some guests mentioned comfortable beds and friendly or helpful staff, but service can be slow or unprofessional with check in delays and refund disputes. The location is convenient to the interstate and near restaurants and stores, though multiple reviewers described the surrounding area and on-site environment as uncomfortable. Expect a very budget stay with significant compromises.

The property was terrible. The toilet seat was dirty. The bedspreads had blood stains and holes in them. Most of the light bulbs were out. The smoke detector had a plastic bag over. Did not stay longer than 5 minutes.

The room smelled of cigarettes and I found cigarette butts at several locations in the room. It was dirty and dusty in the room. I barely slept through the night, counting the hours until I left. It was such a shame! Y’all can do better.

The first room he gave us. There were no sheets on the bed. There was garbage in the room and it smelt like smoke when I said a non-smoking room. It was so disgusting. The second room was very dirty looking the comforters were disgusting. The shower was very difficult to turn on and then I couldn’t even get it to turn all the way off.

When we got in our room there was ashes in toliet, dead bugs all over floor in bathroom. On tables,the room floor and in fridge. Also live bugs too. When he moved us to another room there was more bugs that were all over dead and alive. Sadly i lost $82 cuz it was non-refundable but it was beyond disgusting there we were there only 20 mins not even. And when i signed my recieot the checking account info wasnt mine but i figured because I booked thru hotel's that maybe thats why it showed up different. But now i dont think thats the case at all. I think it was probably a shady move due to how everything was there. -it wont let me add photo's sadly

In the first room they gave me, the beds were made but the carpet was dirty, wet washcloths were on the tub, all the soap was open and used, and there was trash that hadn't been taken out. Also my reservation was for 1 bed and it was 2 full. I called the desk and he immediately gave me a new room, but said he had no King rooms, just 2 fulls. When I opened the new room it was cleaner, but the floor was very dirty and reeked of pot.(non-smoking room). I was stuck due to the cancellation rules but I didn't feel safe walking around barefoot. Also the TV was broken. The picture had a vertical bar for about a third of the screen. Won't be back. Honestly, this isn't this kind of hotel that should charge by the night.

Booked a two bed, non smoking room over a month prior. They gave us a one bed and said there were no two beds available. Blanket was crusty and full of burn holes. Room smelled terrible, carpet was sticky. The back board on the bed was covered in residue. A roach fell on one of your faces in the middle of the night. Asked for an extra pillow but was told they were all out.

5 yrs ago when I stayed here it was exact. Room was nice.BUT this year I was extremely disappointed. The first room had a thick smoke smell. The host was surprised. I'm like no way I'm staying in that room. I have asthma and absolutely hate cigarettes smell. We got a different room. The 2nd room had door trim missing and you could literally see into the parking lot. The entire door trim on the top and side was missing. Big gaps on the side by the latch and you see sunshine and see out the door without even trying. We probably won't stay here again. A shame. The last time I stayed there it was fantastic. Not anymore. Ugggh. I'll stay elsewhere even if my favorite local hotel is 30 mins away in Marysville.

If you need a quick page to rest your head, this is the place. Asked for smoking king size bed, said they didn't have any. Have me a room with a double in it and non smoking. The fire bell outside went off several times a night.

The shower did not operate. The handle and the screw and the faucet stem were unusable. We were in town for a funeral and had no time to have somebody repair it so we took a sponge-bath in the ice bucket using a washcloth and the tiny bar of soap

Basic motel with solid amenities. Room was very clean. The AC didn't work well, so it was quite warm most of the night. Beds were comfortable and it was an easy check in and out process. Would recommend it for a quick night stay.

They are the most rude, disrespectful, scamming, dirty, fraudulent hotel owners/ staff I've EVER MET. I found roaches in my room ( #150 ) so I asked for a refund. At first they ignored me and said they wouldn't refund my night there. Well ultimately they ended up agreeing. Only to attempt fraud, theft ect. They said they would then they wouldn't then they would smh Then told me THE ONLY CARD I HAVE & USE A wasn't the one on file for my night there that was not there anymore. Now it was replaced with some off the wall card number, name address. even the date was wrong. They cussed at me, threatened me, harassed me. Do not book here

I arrived and had wait 20-30mins for someone to even come to office to check us in, finally got to a room and it looked like someone had danced on the walls and door. The carpet was stained, I went to use the microwave and a roach walked out of it. I figured I'd just take a quick nap and shower and get back on the road since the room was paid for and there's no refunds offered but the beds are extremely hard and the tub water was black. ( it did eventually run clear but I was scared to use it)

I liked the fact that you can check in like a drive thru and that the hotel was around several restaurants and stores. The hotel needs a serious upgrade! The furniture was old and had finger nail polish on it. Someone wrote on the walls. The side panels were coming off and there was hair on the towels and shower curtain. The shower curtain was also very dirty. People were barbecuing at midnight in front of the hotel. I would say never again!

first impressions questionable location, slow service at check in, without a smile or welcome at the corner counter in the side reception room, key card in hand and minimal directions as to location of our room, we walked around the building to find a second floor room, skunk smell in the stairwell, and visible drug use left on the ground, on entering our room we're met with a damp cold smell, the room appeared clean, but on careful inspection we were met with other guests in the room, After a nine hour drive to Ohio, we were tired and just wanted to sleep, we cleared the ohio bugs and pulled back the sheets and were again dissapointed to see and feel the sheets were not fresh or clean, we adapted and made good a bad situation, stayed here for two nights got out very quickly and would not be going back, if you have to stay in this area be careful stay in after dark, better still don't stay in this hotel, sorry for the people that have to work here, but if you can't give a welcoming smile, a hello, or a good evening how is your day going, your in the wrong business

This place is a health hazard. Doors do not seal, so there are MANY cockroaches in the rooms, no faceplates over electrical wires, fixtures are mobile, there was exposed fiberglass on missing portions of the doorframe, and the bathroom was one of the most disgusting bathrooms I’ve ever seen. I had to go to two rooms due to the state of them and ultimately decided that I would be more comfortable sleeping in my car at a rest area. The man at the desk was very nice and offered to refund my stay, but I was going to sleep in the car even if he didn’t refund the stay. There is very evidently drug use within the hotel and it is not a good area. Again, I wouldn’t be quite as concerned with this for a quick stay if the doors actually shut.
