DONT STAY HERE!
Rooms were not cleaned on a daily basis. Rooms are nothing as in the photos. Room smelled dirty. Swimming pool was filthy. When checking out, the attendant was very rude. There were stains on the sheets.
Stains on the carpet. I had to spray the room down to get it smell pleasant.

Dishonest business
These idiots said they were going to put a hold on my credit card. This "hold" turned into a posted charge which I did not authorize. After calling numerous times for the return of my money these morons gave me only $40 of my $50 saying I stole a towel from the room. These people are very dishonest and will NEVER do business with them again. Will be contacting my credit card company to start a dispute.

I had to put down a fifty dollar deposit. that I was not aware. No breakfast, which didn't matter, I was going for tests and could not have food or drink after midnight. Toilet bowl did not have a lid. There was only one small container of shampoo, no other soaps at all. Bathtub did not have any non-slip protection or any other protection from falling. It was convenient to where I was going.

The desk service was good, the place itself is what you would expect. Its just a cheap place to stay. Don't expect any cleaning of your room or a pool you would want to go into.

Warning, up to 8 cigarette burns in one bed spread. Also blood stains on the bed spread. Grossed me out so bad, I had to find a different hotel immediately, could not even stay there one night. I came to Austin for a medical procedure and could not imagine myself recovering there. The Rodeway Inn did not feel they did anything wrong as they still charged me for the night though I couldn't stay there, due to their cancellation policy - I think another policy should come into play when you find cigarette burns and blood stains on the bedspread. Expedia took care of me though, so in the end it worked out. Also, the neighborhood surroundings are really awful. Bad part of the city.

When i checked in i was told i had to pay a $50 incidental fee up front, cash or charge. This was not stated anywhere in the check in description. It was late and we just wanted to check in but our keys didn't work. I had to go back out in the bad weather to the office for new keys. They didnt work either. The desk attendent could not get keys to work so we never got any. I had to move a very heavy bed to plug in a light and it was filthy behind the bed. The light never did work because it would not stay plugged in. I was expecting a simple hotel without frills but this was dirty and broken down.
