Rodeway Inn Wahpeton

I would never stay at this hotel again. It was so dirty, and I am not entirely sure the bed linen was even clean. There was a chunk cut of our toilet seat in the middle. The pool was like ice. Kids couldn't even swim in it. Carpet was filthy and not even vacuumed. I could go on and on. The place is run down and needs a super cleaning if that is even possible. I wonder how it passes inspections. Check out was at 11 but I couldn't wait to get out of there. My friend stayed later, and a woman just walked into her room at 930 without knocking and told her to check out.

We were told there was breakfast at 7-10am. We went down the the breakfast area at 8:25. There was nothing out and the waffle maker was stone cold with no batter. I called the front desk and woke up whoever answered the phone. They told me that there was no breakfast on Saturday. When I told her that we were told that there was breakfast from 7-10, she then said breakfast didn't start until 8am. She clearly just woke up and didn't realize it was already 8:30. We paid $25 to eat at a restaurant. The attached photo is how they dealt with installing a door and toilet too close together, and is a indication of the whole place. It might be a non smoking motel, but it smelled like an ash tray in the hallway. You decide if it's worth $75 to you.

Two colleagues and I were booked here for a work project. Our rooms were smelly and damp, which was not entirely unexpected. One colleague of mine, as he was entering his room, overheard a contractor on his cell phone saying, "They booked us into this sh**hole dump!" Oh, great... We walked downtown for dinner and returned to the hotel. My key card didn't work, so I went to the front desk to have it reactivated. What followed was an evening of harassment by the front desk clerk/manager. I told him my key card didn't work, and he told me he couldn't let me back in my room because my card was declined. What?!?!? Our company booked it through Priceline. He kept repeating that I needed to pay him. I repeated to him that the room was pre-paid and that I need access to my room. After a few minutes of heated back and forth, he begrudgingly reactivated my room key, and tossed it at me. I called my boss, who was also on this trip, and told him what happened. He and my other colleague got into their rooms just fine. When I returned to my room my hotel phone started ringing. It was the front desk guy. He began harassing me, saying I needed to pay for the room. I hung up on him, and he called again, repeating that he needed payment. I unhooked the phone jack. My boss then went to the front desk to see what was going on. He explained to the front desk guy that this is a Priceline issue and he would have to contact them about the payment issue. The front desk guy then began to harass my boss by calling his hotel phone. My boss told him to stop calling him. My boss found a note under his door the next morning saying we needed to pay for the room. Incessant harassment over a dank $62 dollar room that had a non-functioning deadbolt, by the way. A rubber door stop was laying on the floor as a backup for "safety." I did not feel secure. Now, onto the Superfund Site. If you have ever seen images of the Berkeley Pit, a former open pit copper mine in Montana, that should give you a visual of the toxic Rodeway pool and hot tub. I gasped when I saw a 4 year old boy wearing floaties in the pool. I couldn't see his legs under the grimy water. A woman, who I assumed was his mom, climbed into the algae ringed hot tub. I hope they both survived. Stay in your car, a garden shed, an abandoned building, anywhere but the Rodeway Inn in Wahpeton.

I have never experienced such poor customer service and lack of management skill in my life. I would suggest never even considering staying at this hotel. I have been in the customer service industry for decades and I'm horrified by the experience I had with this hotel.

This hotel hasn’t been remodeled well over a decade ....the carpets are gross, pillows are gross, shower and sink is gross, and I don’t think I’d ever stay here again! I spoke to many of the hotels Wahpeton over the past 10 years, and thought this one might be better than some of the others. I was wrong
