Rodeway Inn Effingham North

Only thing didn’t happen was breakfast & website stated free breakfast. May need a better way to true advertising.

When checking in there was a computer, zoom camera, sign-in tablet and a room key activation setup with a remote person (who knows where) on a computer screen greeting you. That person was not easy to understand with a thick accent. It was if I was talking to a robot that I found hard to understand. After checking in and receiving my activated key cards, we went to our room only to find out the keys didn’t open the door. I was told by the human/robot it was a malfunction of the door so we were assigned another room. The room was clean and comfortable but the face of the heating/cooling system was secured properly and fell off in the middle of the night. Bottom line, when I go to stay at a hotel, I would like to be greeted by an actual live bodied person, not a person who may be 7000 miles away with a hard to understand accent.

perfect for an overnight stay. very comfortable and clean.

Did not like kiosk check in. No room keys a person on property had to let you in your room each time. Poor lighting leaking showerhead. Handicap room but had to step over a tall tub to get in. Really poor flushing toilet. Someone waa smoking pot in the building upon arrival but after advising staff it stopped. Several food options close. Parking waa dark.
