    The manager in the office , her name was stephanie, she lied and said that I damaged towel and that I stole towels, and I told her I gave it to the maintenance lady and she said she don't have proof when I told her to them. And she charged me $75 out of my $100 deposit and I don't find that right. Someone needs to get on

    No breakfast, but coffee was available in the main lobby. The bed was firm and very comfortable. No hairdryer or coffee maker in the room was inconvenient because they were only available for borrowing in the front lobby. A couple of small enhancements and upgrades to the room facilities would add a lot to the perceived value of the guest rooms.

    Classic mid-grade SoCal special. No frills. Soap and shampoo are about the same quality as county jail. Rooms are small. Check in staff was accommodating and nice. The pool looked good. We didn't go in as it was raining a lot and chilly. The bed was comfortable. As long as you're just looking for a crash spot with low ambience aside from a centerpiece pool..it's a good spot.

    Parking was safe,. The room smelled stale, bit was extremely clean. Used my air freshner. The air conditioner/heater was right by the first bed. I slept in it. So, I would get hot , then cold. My Family in the other bed, were comfortable. If possible, maybe put medium soft pillows in some of the rooms. My pillows were extremely hard. I had to punch it down the middle, so i could sleep. Both check in/out Representatives were friendly and accommodating. I would recommend Roadway Inn to someone who is staying a short time in or around Santee. ☺️

    I can’t stress how good this hotel is every time I stay here. Love the location; many dining options in the area and it’s safe. Friendly staff, good housekeeping cleaning crew. I wouldn’t recommended the roll in shower rooms unless you have a disability. Those rooms are tailored more towards people with disabilities with the low bed and shower without tub. Nevertheless, hotel is amazing.

    The location was near stores and restaurants. However, the front desk woman was not suited to customer service as she was downright crabby and irritating. The front desk was poorly attended. We went to check out at 10:00 a.m. and no one was at the front desk to check us out. We had to drop our key in a drop off window. Also, this was an old cheap motel with popcorn ceilings, a faucet too short to reach the sink which caused water to be all over. E en though the counters and furnisings were updated, I would not choose this place again.

    I can’t do too much complaining since hotel price is very reasonable and met all of my needs. Many food options within the area to choose. Would be nice if there was something more than coffee provided in the morning. Also, if your room is near the street side, many emergency vehicles will pass by and can be disturbing but not as much disturbance in the back. If you’re looking for a decent hotel on a budget, this is a good choice. You get what you pay for and it accommodates all your needs.

They respect the do not disturb door hanger and will not enter your room if that is what you choose as well. I stay at the Rodeway often and am very happy doing so.

    The property itself was fine. I will say it has been years since I stayed at a place with no hairdryer. Glad I brought my own. The disappointment was arriving for a 4 day stay and the Inn having no reservation for us. Even though I could show confirmation emails. They were able to accommodate us at the same price. But, that was extremely frustrating at 10:00 PM on a holiday week.
