This is an old-fashioned roadside motel straight out of the fifties -- including the attitude of the proprietor, who couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. Don't be put off by the basic appearance of the place -- if you just need a clean safe inexpensive place to sleep in this area, the Rodeway Inn is a nice option. I think most or all the rooms offer fridges and microwaves, too, which is a great convenience. Coffee, tea and donuts are offered every morning in the front office, which didn't suit OUR breakfast needs, but the fridge let us keep milk for cereal which we brought with us, which stretched our budget even further. The beds were comfy. This hotel advertises itself as pet-friendly, but the room did NOT smell like Fido, nor were the ample grounds covered with poo.\r

The owner recommended some nearby restaurants, and he did NOT steer us wrong. Particularly good was the Angler in Westminster, a seafood restaurant (which does takeout) with some of the best clam and seafood chowder I've ever had.\r

So, bottom line: This ain't the Hilton, or even the Ramada, but it's basic, friendly, cheap and clean. You could do a lot worse.
