You can look this hotel up on www.tripadvisor. Check out all the pictures & trip reports about the Rodeway inn hotel.
I've stayed their myself and found it ok with clean and tidy rooms. The location on International drive is good (assuming this is the one your staying at), lots of shops & resturants close to the hotel. Bus stops nearby if you don"t have a car. Wet and wild is 2 minutes walk up the road.
For a first trip to Orlando this is a suitable hotel .
Please dont think I am trying to put you off but I stayed for a night and then moved to Disney. The rooms are very basic and in much need of refurbishment. This stay was in 2003 and they may have been upgraded although the resort backs directly onto US192, a busy highway. Sorry if this hurts.
We stayed there last April for 2 weeks. We were not in the main building and although it was basic it was fine. The pool was quite small for the size of the hotel but in fairness there was never more than a handful of people around it in the day so it wasn't a problem. If you need to know anything then just ask I will help if I can.
We stayed there on our honeymoon!!! (It was what we could afford!). We found it to very clean with good sized rooms. The staff were lovely and the location is great! Don't worry, as you said it's only really to sleep in and we had NO complaints at all.
