“Better than the previous reviews”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

person found this review helpful

I am a hotel manager and my brother in law is in the army, so we spent Chrismas day in Watertown with them. I work at a high end hotel so I have high standards for staying in a hotel. The staff was very friendly, but not overtalkative. We arrived late but had an easy check in. Even with renovations the hotel was a bit dated, but not dirty. The breakfast was ok. We were given a little hesitation for a late check out, but approved at the end (we got in at 1am). I would stay here again and would say it is alot nicer after the changes and for a decent priced hotel this is a bonus. My only downside was that they were out of shampoo!

“Not bad at all”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 August 2011

Recently spent a weekend in Watertown for back-to-school shopping and as there were no rooms available at the Ramada (our usual choice), or several other hotels, we found accomodation at the Rodeway Inn. We found the hotel to be fairly clean (maybe a little vacuuming would have been good) and the rooms were comfortable and had all of the usual amenities. Breakfast was great - the kids loved the waffles. All-in-all not a bad spot for the price!

“Just Okay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 June 2011

person found this review helpful

The place is currently under construction, changing owners by the looks of it. If you are planning on staying for multiple days go elsewhere, the hammering and construction work will make you go nuts. It is also true that they do not wear uniforms but they are somewhat professional. The rooms are pretty big with the oldschool CRT televisions. Also includes a safe, new microwave(by the looks), and a pretty big fridge. The air conditioner works and so do the blinds. Also paid 78$ (71$ with military discount) a night for a single bed. No i don't work there, I am just leaving a good up to date review. :)

“worst hotel EVER”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 April 2011

We stayed in the suite before my son was deployed to Afghanistan. They were under construction. Since the room was terribly outdated, I could even overlook that. The room was in terrible disrepair as well. The fire alarm was dismantaled. The bed was sagging, making the head and foot higher than the middle. The counter on the bathroom sink was falling off the wall causing the bathrrom sink to drain on the floor. When we complained the next morning(we arrived late the first night) they fixed the alarm immediately and said that the repair man would come in Monday to repair the bed and sink. It was repaired as promised but 2 of our 4 night stay was over. They did give us one unpaid night. It was also dirty with visible dirt between furniture. Of course there was construction noise. Due to the construction, the very small lobby was as cold as outside making it impossible to eat at the very skimpy continental breakfast.

I am very sorry to hear that your stay was less than ideal. I am the new manager at the Rodeway Inn and I am happy to report that the construction project is finally complete! There have been many new rooms added to our inn as well as upgrading many of our existing rooms. While I realize these new changes cannot change the experience you had, I do invite you to give us another chance to impress you. We even have a waffle iron for breakfast now and are in talks with the local baker to supply fresh breakfast products on the weekend! Even if you choose not to stay with us in the future, I would like to thank you for sharing your experience. While we love positive reviews, its the negative ones that make us strive to constantly find ways to provide better service and improve for our future guests.
