Overall, the grounds of the hotel were very well kept and nice looking. Roos was pretty clean, but obviously, mopping happens and dirt residue is left on baseboards, making it look dirty.

I loved how quiet it was. It was perfectly clean. I also so appreciate a non corporate ambiance with different art in each room. The managers are lovely and very helpful. Its a much warmer and more personal experience that most motels provide. Bed was comfy, bath water was nice and hot! Its my favorite place to stay in Chico! Plus, its not over priced. I think many of us are tired of being gouged when we need a place to stay. Their pricing is very reasonable. Highly recommend it!! Great location with lovely landscaping too, and less than a mile to downtown Chico. Perfect!!

Clean comfortable place with friendly staff

It is nice to find a clean motel with friendly helpful staff in Chico when visiting our daughter. It is really helpful having a mini fridge and microwave along with a coffee maker. They have a small complementary breakfast with pancakes, cereal, fruit, coffee, and juice.

We have traveled for approximately 4 weeks across the US and BC. This property was without question the best we've experienced for needs and budget. They were exceptionally polite and inviting. I would without question recommend the property as well s the city of Chico.

We had a great time and this is a very nice hotel. It is walking distance to downtown. It gets very cold in the bathroom if the door is closed so we made sure to leave it open. The pancake maker was one i had never seen before. We will be staying here again if we go to Chico, which is a wonderful town!

Rodeway in is an older motel, but it is very well cared for. The grounds and room were incredibly tidy. The room included a refrigerator and microwave, which is great considering the low price of the room. My room even had its own carport.
