Horrible rooms
Reviews indicate that the term horrible, although harsh, might suit the rooms at the Rodeway Inn Charleston. Reported problems include strong smoke smells, unchanged bed linens, roaches, and broken door locks. Some guests found used needles under the bed.
negative:
Disappointing pool
A number of guests comment that they found the pool disappointing. Their description indicates that the water is green and there is trash floating in the water. It certainly doesn't sound like the most inviting of pools.
negative:
Unsavory characters
Several reviews reference shady characters hanging around the hotel. Female guests, in particular, felt uncomfortable as they were subjected to catcalls and general harassment as they went about the hotel. Also, some guests witnessed drug deals taking place.
