Rodeway Inn Sylacauga Hwy 280

Stayed at this place that had been renamed the Rodeway Inn for just the one night while passing through Sylacauga on the way to FL. Apparently Quality Inn sold the place. There was nothing special about the room as it was just the standard room with one king size bed but at least it was pretty clean from what I could tell. No obvious dirty spots stood out enough to be noticed anyway. The bed was comfortable, and the AC and shower worked very well with good water pressure and the hot water started flowing pretty quick. The TV had enough channels to make it easy to find something to lull yourself to sleep with. Overall I would grade the room a C-. The few complaints I might have were that the swing latch for our door was broken and our bath towels. Though they were very clean, one of them had a couple of sizable holes in it. It was obvious that the holes had been caused by someone putting too much bleach in that one spot of the towel because it you folded it in half the two holes lined up perfectly. But at least they were clean. The last part of the complaints were the pool was not available due to someone putting so much chlorine in it that you would suffer chemical burns so it was locked up and finally, the hotel no longer serves breakfast since Rodeway took over. Not even a continental breakfast at this place on the date of our stay. Bottom line is it was a comfortable bed for one night on the road and that is about it.

The front desk was very helpful and accommodating. Unfortunately, the first room we were in smelled so musty that we had to ask for another room. They request was handled very quickly and without question. The second room smelled pleasing but it was not cleaned thoroughly. The bathroom floor was visibly dirty. I could tell things had been wiped because I could see the smeared film on everything. I did not feel good about the room because of the cleanliness.

#1 The bed was comfortable. That is always important. The sheets were the wrong size. They were queen stretched to barely make the edge of the bed & wouldn’t, of course, stay on. It wasn’t made up when we got back in that night. The chair was broken but was replaced the next day. The smoke detector blared out at 5:45AM. Then again around 6:30 or so. They replaced the battery before we came back. No cover on the sink drain. Mold on the shower curtain & a moldy top on the ice bucket.
