From the minute you step foot in the lobby, you'll know this isn't the place you want to stay. The lobby has an off odor that is hard to pin point the source but it is a smell you won't forget. When checking in, we had an issue with the price of our rooms. When we reserved them the young... More

Spirit Lake is a tourist area, so it is hard to find a reasonably priced simple motel for a quick stay. That said, this Rodeway is marginal, at least in the 'annex' across the street from the main 2-story lodge. The annex looks like it was a separate motel at one time, and is pretty shabby. The owners have tried... More

My coworker and I were attending a conference being held at a resort on West Okoboji. Since that hotel was full, we had to find someplace else to stay. We have strict travel guidelines which limited our options. The Rodeway Inn in Spencer was the closest hotel that would be within our travel limits. Although I had real concerns after... More

This is a unique set up that will require you to ask a few questions at check in. And that may not be easy because there is a horrible language barrier with the owner/manager. The hotel is spread out with the main building being two stories, then there a buildings behind the main building, including one that appears to be... More

We stayed here for our family reunion, paid $100 a night for a very small outdated room. There was a chair in the room, dark red with animal hair all over it. The room smelt musty, and the furnishing were very old, the light switches were grimy, the bathroom floor was slanted. I think this was a garage that was... More

After reading all the reviews we were scared to stay here but really had no choice. We were coming to run the marathon and this was the only Hotel within the vacinity. We paid a price I would have and will not ever pay again. I would not pay more then 75.00 a night for this place. THe room overall... More

We stayed in room #118 next to the pool. The pool was clean and warm. Our room was very spacious for a family of six. The kitchenette included a two-burner stove. There is a grocery store and a Dairy Queen across the street. We payed $90/night. It is not extremely clean, but if you are looking for an inexpensive option,... More

We were with a group of several families and in town for a reunion. It seemed that there was also a wedding party staying at the hotel at the same time. There was much confusion concerning previously made reservations (made as much as months before) with several of our group, even leaving one family without a room. Even though the... More

We reserved the large 2-floor room with a bedroom. The description said 10 people/11 people with extra bed. It also said it had a living room and a two-person hot tub. Since the description listed four double beds, we figured the couch was a hideabed, since it said it was a 10 person room. We went to pull out the... More
