Been here multiple times and love it. The staff is great and very personable. The rooms have been upgraded and the beds are like sleeping on a cloud. I will continue to stop here on my travels and I recommend you do the same.

I stopped here on a grueling cross country trip, had to go from Sacramento to Delaware in like 56 hours (don’t ask) by myself. My sister was giving birth very chaotically. I had been drinking primarily energy drinks for the past week, not a lot of water, bad food, big recipe for kidney stones type diet, which I didn’t know at the time, but lo and behold I wake up 2 hours after head hits pillow because I think I’m being stabbed. It only got way worse when I tried to move, so I’m stuck on this bed screaming help, still not totally sure there isn’t some guy behind me holding a knife in my back. Now I know there are lots of seedy people who hang around hotels and motels, who scream and party too loud and cry wolf, so I was very impressed that a staff member came to my room so quickly and bravely in the middle of the night. It must have been less than two minutes. There were two of them, and the girl opened the door with the master key and came in first, followed by a skinny guy looked like a teenager. Now they were not doctors, so there wasn’t much they could do besides call 911, but they were very kind. Most importantly, they confirmed that there was no one in the room or any knives around, even checking closets and under the beds like tucking in a child, which calmed me some, though I was still sweating with pain. I know they call them first responders but they were worse responders than the hotel staff, who showed up within seconds, meanwhile the ambulance took 40 minutes coming from two towns over and got lost in the hospital parking lot dropping me off. I ended up staying in the hospital for two days and the hotel even sent me a get well card. The girl was there at the hotel when i came to get my stuff and car and let me stay one more night half off because I was still too groggy to drive long distance. My sister’s pregnancy ended up mellowing out and she did not give birth for another six days so I got to be there with her. This Roadway Inn would be an award winning hotel if I was in charge of giving out awards.
