Rodeway Inn & Suites

Hotel was disgusting and unsanitary, staff refused to clean the room to normal standards. I am surprised that the Health Department has not shut this place down. See the pictures attached. Filthy shower, never cleaned window blinds, cobwebs (black) through the entire room.

Excellent value for $ 58/​night on a weekend in a decent neighborhood close enough to Pasadena which is where I needed to be. Yes the furniture is dated but for what I wanted – a clean place to flop with a shower – it delivered and then some. Tell me what motel at this price point gives you a fridge, microwave, hair dryer, iron and complimentary WiFi? None. Motel6 doesn’t even give you shampoo or an alarm clock. Staff was friendly and I didn’t have any issues with cleanliness. Bathroom was fully renovated with large beige tile flooring. This isn’t the same kind of five stars I’d give a Four Seasons but you have to compare apples to apples, and for this ilk of overnight lodging in a major metro area, this is as good of a bargain as you’ll find.

This place was an excellent find. I was able to book through Priceline for $ 70 a night. And for that price in Los Angeles, this is basically a palace. It’s an older business, but they’ve obviously gone through some serious remodeling recently. Most of the furniture was new, and the bathroom had been recently redone. The staff was very friendly, and the parking lot is in a secure courtyard with a single entrance and covered by security cameras. The room was HUGE for the price, and came with a mini-​fridge and microwave. Very welcome. My only minor quibble is lack of an ice machine, though I suppose with water the way it is in Cali right now I can understand that. If you have a cooler like I did, the Shell station right down the road sells bags of ice anyway. Would definitely book again.

This Rodeway inn in Rosemead is very nice after they remodeling every thing look new and nice and especially very cleaning the prices is right and seems cheaper than the other place I have no complaints about it

We just moved here recently from DC and were staying here while we were looking for an apartment.
We were really impressed how cleaned the room was. The room had a microwave and a mini fridge. That was a big plus for us because we were on a budget and didn’t want to keep eating out.
I believe the motel is managed by the owners and is a family operated motel. Anyways, the front desk staff were really nice and accommodating.
We were looking for a motel in Pasadena area however for the same price and only 10 – 15 mins south, you can get much more for your money. We were glad we stayed here.
If we have friends or family in town looking for place to stay, we will definitely recommend this place.

My original hotel was overbooked so I had to think quick what my options were late that evening. Went to book this place as it was available and got in the same night. There were no vacancy the next day so they really have no problem getting people in this shithole. Was here just to rest for a few hours at night as it was 5 mins from my friend (who has a baby and didn’t want to bother with staying with her) whom I was visiting, did not plan on hanging out in my room so for the price, it was fine.
Seemed to be lots of Indian people staying and hanging here in this motel, in the heart of Asia town. nice to see somewhat of a diversity. but seems like the people running this joint lives here, feels like you are a guest at someone’s home instead of a business establishment.
This place has seen better days! Needs updating on furniture, desperately needs a complete remodel of the bathrooms; showers and sinks were disgusting… I was very afraid to have my bare feet touch the floor… carpet needs cleaning badly, even the shutters were showing signs of age as it was falling apart. Beds were hard and the bed covers were old… worst of all, I found an unopened condom and a maxi pad wrapper on the floor near the closet chest, housekeeping must have had a bad day. The ironing board was stained but at least they had one with a working iron. No elevator.
If you don’t care where you stay for one or two nights, this is the place. Just don’t have high expectations when you rest here. Customer service is extremely minimal, if not lacking. They are there to take your payment and give you the keys to your room, nothing more, nothing less. No warm smiles, just a dirty room with no service and shitty food that they call continental breakfast. Worst than a European hostel.

In short, there are some Indian guys literally live here. The room is filled with nasty greasy smell left over by previous guests or residents’ cooking (yes there is a kitchen in the room). The sheets are dirty, with obvious stains, really disgusting. And there are flies and bugs guarding this room, keeping it nice and cozy, greeting us to check in, what hospitality.

This is the worst hotel i have ever been in. The room is dusty, thr sheets are dirty, air conditioning is so weak that you can’t even feel any difference when it’s on. The shower head was missing but even if it wasn’t it was so disgusting i wouldn’t get in there. The toilet wasn’t clean and there were used toilet paper in the basket. Will never come to this place again.

Room 218, Friday, May 30, 2014: air conditioner is not cooling, refrigerator is not working, there are no lights around bed. I’ve experienced much better at comparable price.

The price draws you in, but you get what you pay for. This place looks deceivingly decent from the outside, but a pungent curry smell punches you right in your senses when you walk in the room. Don’t get me wrong, I love curry in my food, just not in every crack of my hotel room. We had noisy upstairs neighbors and the employee that was on site was less than useful. The cleanliness of the entire room was subpar. The neighborhood was a bit questionable as well. We walked out within an hour of arriving. The manager gave us a refund, but that wasn’t without mean mugging us as he came strolling in his enormous diesel truck with Ramen noodles in hand. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Very disappointed… and a bit itchy. :\

I agree, this is as good as it gets for a motel. I got a queen size bed for four nights, with a kitchenette and bathroom. The kitchen comes with a stove, microwave, and kitchen. The bathroom with blow dryer, iron, and board. Very clean room. I paid $ 60.99/night. Use your AAA or senior discount. I got the discount straight from their website. When I first checked in I wasn’t going to get the kitchenette but I told the owner that my confirmation says I’ll get a kitchen. He told me, «ok I’ll see what I can do.» And whatta know, a room with a kitchen became available. The alternative to the kitchen is a small nook with a sofa. Slow wi-​fi. I liked that the parking lot was very well lit at night. Vending machine available for water/​soda. Just know that the surrounding area is a bit run down and def not all that great to be a pedestrian.

i just finished a 3 day stay at rodeway inn on delmar ave in rosemead, ca.
i booked through my choice hotels account.
i do feel you need to know that this place is a dump. it advertised guest laundry but does not have.
the most annoying is the attitude of the francisee. when i pointed that out he couldnt care less. when i asked where the icemachine is he said he dont have one.
yes thats right. he dont have, wont have, never will. his snotty comment was «i never advertised that we have icemachine».
seriously? nowadays, nobody does. its like bedsheets, pillows & a toilet. its just there.
i actually normally would have been wary of the place even before i checked in… but what gave me a false sense of security was right there on the counter, was a aaa award plaque. it was silver colored something they award to the best of the best.
i have seen them before and know that its going to be a first class outfit.
now you know why im telling you this. i know the booking isnt aaa fault, but he is using that award to mislead customers. it might not even have been awarded to that particular property. but for frequent travelers like me, it could ruin their reputation!

As good as it gets for an inn. It seems to be in a slightly run down area and the place is easy to miss but it is quite the jewel. Inside, you’ll find a comfy bed, nice and well-​maintained furniture, nice blankets and sheets, and a full kitchen. All for $ 65. I’ve been to much worse in the area for the same price.
One possibly bad thing about the place is that it is a relatively small inn so seems to fill up fast. I checked in at 6 on a Tuesday and got the last room.
