Rodeway Inn Sweetwater South

We stayed here last week after our reservation for a cabin in Tellico Plains was canceled without us knowing (we found out the night we were trying to check in) and at first this hotel didn't have a pet friendly room for us but the next day, Sunday, we got lucky and were able to get a pet friendly room. We checked in Sunday afternoon with the owner's son (we later found this out) and he was very nice, along with his dad. We extended our stay (we were only going to stay a couple nights until a cabin opened at a campground we stayed at before until that campground refused to take us claiming we would be bringing bedbugs 🙄). The room was very clean, bed was comfortable and the carpet is old and had worn spots but overall we were very happy with our stay and will definitely be staying there again. We didn't try the continental breakfast so I can't comment on it but there are multiple restaurants nearby and there is a small fridge in the room so we were able to keep drinks cold. The pet fee (at the time we stayed) was $10 per day for dogs under 25 lbs (if I remember the weight correctly) and $15 per day for dogs over that weight. There is a duck pond behind the hotel that we visited daily.

There was no one at the front desk. I had to call the hotel to see if anyone could come to the desk. The room was not ready at check-in time. Overall, the staff was pleasant, engaging and very interested in sharing information about the city and what activities were available. They just seemed very disorganized. The room was large and seemed clean. However, we found a single immature cockroach walking around in the sink. The internet was painfully slow. A luggage cart would have been a great amenity, as the distance from the lobby to many of the rooms is significant.

The bed was comfortable and the AC worked great. No protein included in the breakfast though and the room smelled a little bit like smoke/mold/musty.

I had stayed here many times in the past but this last time they refused to let me stay. They had no reason and kept making stuff up as to why. And then STILL charged me for the stay.

Shower curtain was moldy. Bathroom mat was moldy. There has not been money spent to maintain the room in a very long time.

Its ok for the price. Well at 3am i had to switch rooms cause the toilet broke. Then the room they put me in had mildew in the shower, the toilet seat was dirty(lucky i carry cleaning wipes with me), and the bed sheet was dirty. I bring my own blankets. The walls had messes in them that could have be easily wiped up if the cleaning people would clean correctly. Definitely wasnt impress. The breakfast was ok.
