Basic needs covered
The Rodeway Inn Chicago could never be described as luxurious, but guests do comment that it meets basic needs. The hotel rooms and public areas are clean and well maintained, and the area in which the property is situated feels safe.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Rooms are bare bones
Although guests often describe the rooms at this hotel as clean, many also comment that they are rather sparse. Don't expect a mini-fridge, a hairdryer, or any closet space, as you'll likely end up disappointed.
negative:
Bathroom limitations
Guests comment that the number of towels provided is too limited. Also, the towels that are offered are not large enough. Plus, the toilet paper is also limited. One guest found just ¼ of a roll in their room. You can ask for more, but it's frustrating to have to do so.
negative:
One parking lot is too small
The hotel offers two parking lots. It's best to avoid the smaller one off Lincoln Avenue, as guests describe the lots as tight and the spots difficult to maneuver into. Head to the lot on the other side of the building for more space.
