For a quick in and out, this older motel was fine. The bed was comfy, the air worked, they provided coffee and continental breakfast. The desk clerks were courteous and offered extra towels.

Rooms had cockroaches. Carpets were dirty. Bathroom was clean enough for a shower although you could see caulking holding carpet down in doorway.

The clerk was very helpful in giving directions to dining and such. The fuel stop next door was great, with very good breakfast options, and the eating establishment in town had great food at reasonable prices, and great service--very friendly. Location was very convenient to both 281 and I90, and in close proximity to a major town.

OMG this was horrible. Booked the Smart Choice Inn on Expedia. On arrival, found this is no longer a Smart Choice Inn, the sign says Rodeway. Clerk said we could get a room but we'd have to pay them as they are under new ownership and don't have access to the Expedia account. We were tired and needed to get off the road, so we did, even though the place is filthy and run down. The bed had a crackly plastic covered mattress and ill fitting sheets, so we ended up sleeping on the plastic and sticking to it after the sheets moved. There were ants in the bathroom and a stain on the chair that I wouldn't even touch if i had gloves on. There was no breakfast as advertised, which was good because I wouldn't eat in that lobby anyway. There WAS a pot of pretty decent coffee though. DO NOT stay here unless you have no options and for sure don't book through Expedia, I've been working with them for the last hour trying to get a refund for the charges the hotel couldn't access.

We will start with it’s not even called the smart choice inn. It’s the Rodeway inn. Drove all over the little town of Plankington looking for the smart choice hotel. Gas station next door told us the rodeway was the only hotel there. The bathroom was dirty especially the toilet. Said they had breakfast, only had coffee. The mattress was covered in a hard plastic mattress cover so every time someone rolled over you heard the crinkling of the mattress cover. The air conditioner was duct taped all around it on the wall. The pillows were flat as pancakes and filthy dirty under the pillowcase. Curtains were from 1977. The front door to the hotel was filthy full of fingerprints. The only decent thing about this hotel was it had clean newer towels. I wouldn’t stay here again if saving my life depended on it. It’s very noise with interstate traffic noise lots of trucks all night long. Keep on driving to the next city for a hotel or sleep in your car. Expedia you need to fix this problem or don’t let them advertise on your website. Definitely makes Expedia look bad involving renting rooms for this hotel.

Air-conditioning was working laud, room was smelled bad like d no one got IN 100 years, receptionist are never there on reception, only have phone number to call etc. Fire alarms are not active- batteries removed, name of the hotel on Google or this site for booking are totally different. This motel one night worth 20$ max not 78$.

The motel has a different name. Pulled up at night and lights were flickering giving Bates Motel vibes! A biker in the parking lot told us not to stay there but there was no place else to go at the time. Had to call a personal phone # to get a desk clerk. She came out in shorts and dirty tank top with no bra or shoes. Didn’t check id or credit card. I do have to point out that the room was a little better than the rest of the building. Bare wires exposed, rust and holes in the walls. would not sleep under blankets…yuck! Locked ourselves in the room and was concerned for the safety of the car. But the biker was outside with about 10 bikes all night and he kept an eye on our stuff as well. Just stay away!!!!!!
