I booked a room expecting a room that felt cheap and was pleasantly surprised. This is the nicest Rodeway Inn I've ever stayed in and was more comfortable than some of the more expensive brands. My room has been recently renovated and was very clean and comfortable. The bed was perfect, the bathroom was pristine and even the linens were in good condition. The staff members I interacted with during my stay were friendly and showed pride in their property. I ended up extending my stay for a few days to get some additional rest. The outside of the facility looks a bit old but the building and it's design are pretty interesting. The rooms all face a central courtyard that provides a bit more quiet than facing the street or parking lot. All rooms are accessed from the courtyard and a room key is required to enter the courtyard gates. There is a fast food restaurant next door as well as a grocery store just a block away. There is a bus stop directly in front of the hotel for easy access from downtown New Orleans if you aren't traveling with a vehicle. Overall, I'm glad I found this Rodeway Inn since it's been the most comfortable room I've stayed at for this value in quite a while.
