Rodeway Inn Shippensburg I-81 — Hotel in Southampton Township

The worst place that we have stayed in a long time..... we will not return... Upon check-in we were greeted by the owner's wife at least that is what we think. She could not speak very good English and I had to ask her a number of times to repeat herself. We checked into the room and it seemed alright, no bugs or critters running around. Lobby was so run down and dingy (nothing like the pictures show), no snack machines, no complimentary breakfast as the pictures show, ice machine is very outdated but still worked. We were told when calling for a room that they were within walking distance to the casino, what a joke, no way was it within walking distance.... The towels were paper thin, like something from years ago. I did go over and ask for two sets of towels upon arrival and she gave me two towels, no wash clothes. Towels that she gave me were better. No bath rug for the floor, no tissues. The mattress was outdated and the springs were horrible. Pillows were doable. My husband said we better just sleep on top of the sheets and keep our clothes on so that is what we did. My husband turned the heat on it worked but OMG the noise that it made when kicking on was terrible. So before going to bed he turned it off. Next morning after getting my shower great water pressure the one plus... I went to dry my hair and no hair dryer... I went to the front desk and rang the bell and eventually a guy come out from the back and I asked for a hair dryer and he said okay, finally his wife came out and said we have no hair dryers I said to her how am I suppose to dry my hair her response was I don't dry mine. I said this is unacceptable and left. Within minutes she came knocking on our door with a hairdryer that looked to be an antique ~ fortunately it worked. They had a junction box with multiple outlets hooked up to one receptacle, which served for the TV, refrigerator, cable box and light. And the BEST part of the whole ordeal was the SMOKE DETECTOR was in the dresser drawer with no batteries.... This place should be reported for multiply safety requirements. I do not know how they...

Got to the “hotel” - seedy motel is a much more appropriate name, do not be fooled by the pictures online. They are a complete misrepresentation. There was no one at the check in desk, but there was a bell to ring. I rang the bell 3 times, waited 20-30 minutes. Walked around to try and find someone and ended up having to call the main number while standing in the lobby to get someone to come out. She looked like she had been sleeping in another room. She came out and said “you have to ring the bell” to which I told her I did. 3 times. Get into the room and the couch looks like a murder had taken place on it. Brown spots everywhere, I wouldn’t even let my worst enemy sit on that monstrosity. Dust and dirt everywhere, trash under the bed and couch, bed runner had mysterious white stains on it and there was no smoke alarm in the room. The fridge and microwave were disgustingly dirty. The only thing that I could say anything decent about is the shower itself, it was “clean” In comparison to everything else. The curtain had rust at the top. I was in town for the weekend to see my daughter at Shippensburg and had my husband not been with me, I would have demanded a refund and went somewhere else bc it was truly that sketchy. I didn’t want to go through the hassle of asking for a refund and finding somewhere else to stay but I will tell anyone and everyone I know to never step foot inside this place. It is a walking violation of filth. I would give it...

Everything essential was clean, such as linens, and washcloths. But there were some disappointments that made us unsure if we want to return to another Rodeway Inn. The double paned window of our room had a baseball sized hole on the outside pane, however the inside pane was intact. The commode was clean, but the seat was old and worn out (color rubbed off) which made the seat appear dirty even though it was probably clean. The shower head sprayed everywhere and the shower curtain stuck to the side of the tub (not sure if its because the curtain was old or the cleaning products that they use. The upkeep just looks really neglected. I'm sure it was probably clean, but with the maintenance issues in such need of attention, we chose not to take advantage of the breakfast. When we travel, I really want a hotel chain that I can depend on to be clean, safe, and in good repair, no matter what city I travel to. I am sorry for the poor report, but we did not get that with this hotel. Choice Motels are usually dependable, but we feel as if you should be made aware that hotels like this will shaken...
