Indeed, this motel burned down and was rebuilt...but it is a maze of buildings, (converted garages), etc. I think Rex W. probably stayed in the new building, so this review deals with the long building "out back", (that DIDN'T burn to the ground). You walk this way and that to find a doorway leading outside from the front desk area,... More

A beautiful hotel, all new, very clean, well decorated, modern -- staff was very helpful and pleasant, and gave us a good rate . They let us play cards in the lobby -- it has a new pool and new hot tub. Great breakfasts every morning - waffles, biscuits and gravy, etc -- fruit and breads -- 3 kinds of... More

Mgr. tried to get into our room while we were sleeping! This was on our second night's stay! Window AC in our bathroom Made for a very COLD shower! Paid $124 for this???? No offer for a room rate adjustment after the second night experience!!

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We stayed here for our family reunion, paid $100 a night for a very small outdated room.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
