Very good

The lady who checked us in was extremely rude. Otherwise I really loved the hotel. My room was pretty and very clean, I loved our balcony and the pool. Also we stayed two days and no one brought us any towels (I had some of my own) and not even a trash bag.
Loved everything as always!!! This place is our go to when in Cherokee! Staff is awesome and the place is great with a laid back scenic environment!

Have stayed @ this hotel many times in past; was shocked to learn they no longer serve continental breakfast; had to request room service, which only happened once. (The young lady who cleaned was very friendly & sweet). The entire building looked rundown & dirty. Weeds growing around shrubbery. I was very disappointed. The young man @ front desk on our arrival was not very friendly.

So the pictures are definitely old. They rooms are aged but clean. Great view of river. No fridge or microwave in "suite"
We love staying at the Rodeway Inn when we go to Cherokee. We love sitting on the balcony looking out at the river.

The property was in so much need of repairs that looked like it hadnt been touched since the day it was built. It has potential if the owners would at least give everything a fresh coat of paint. Tje only time i ould find the front deak person was when we checked in. They list that rooms have Jacuzzis there wasn't one, rhose werw only in special suits. They did not offer any form of breakfast except coffee. To say i was disappointed well thats am understatement.
Needs updating and a lot of cleaning and painting to walkway and balconies. Could be nice with improvements. Booked nonsmoking room but sinks both had cigarettes burns. Bed linens had stains. Had to clean webs and spiders from room door outside. Just make improvements and would be so nice.

The hotel is very old but clean enough. The tv and cable was not great! The room was non smoking but smelled of stale smoke and a musty smell, could be better considering what we paid. Overall not happy!!
Everything was okay , could use some new bed mattresses.

Nice hotel but rooms need a refresh.
The Roadway Inn is in a good location and the rooms were very nicely laid out with a balcony over looking the river. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It is an older hotel though the the outside is very well kept up. However, the rooms, while clean, are in need of a "refresh" and while non-smoking, still a scent of cigarettes. Note that this is one the last "chain" brand hotels on this side of town. It appears the others nearby are now independent.
