Top 10 reasons to avoid the Rodeway Inn in Miami


  1. It is in the runway of Miami International Airport.
  2. If there isn't a plane flying overhead and rattling the building, the police and ambulance sirens will knock you out of bed.
  3. If you are somehow able to sleep through the planes and sirens, the traffic outside will keep you awake.
  4. They will tell you they are working on the wireless internet and it will be up and running soon but that is what they have been saying for at least a week. (I think they don't have it but want to advertise they have it.)
  5. Your entire body will be really, really sore from the uncomfortable beds.
  6. The dripping faucet you hear isn't really a dripping faucet ... it's the ceiling leaking from a drip in the room above you.
  7. The parking lot is not easy to get in and out of with a Toyota Tundra towing an 8-ft-long UHaul trailer.
  8. They are pretty stingy with handing out extra towels, although not as stingy as the EconoLodge in Macon, GA where I practically had to give them my driver's license in exchange for two threadbare towels.
  9. The rooms don't have a clock or a coffee pot or any other extra "amenities."
  10. If you want to use the phone in the room to make a call, you have to get the front desk to "open a line" for you. That does not work for the length of your stay. You have to do it again every morning.

It was supposed to be $77 total but I just checked the credit card and they screwed up ... billing more, of course ($92). Now that's gonna be fun trying to get that refunded.
