Value!
I'm glad I didn't listen to the previous review on the Rodeway. We were looking for an inexpensive place to stay that would still put us within a reasonable distance to Killington Ski Resort. The rooms at the Rodeway are dated and on the small side, but very clean and comfortable. The beds are soft and firm, the water is hot, the tv and cable work great... what more do you want? We have stayed at the Rdeway three times so far and will probably continue to stay there every weekend this winter. The first time we stayed we had a fridge and a microwave in the room so the next time we brought snacks for the microwave, but we were put in a room that didn't have one. We called the front desk and had a microwave delivered to our door in two minutes. Everyone has always been quite accomodating and the Rodeway is in a populated area with shopping, restaurants, pharmacies, grocery stores, movie theaters, etc... It is much more cost effective to stay in Rutland if you are on a budget. The Killington area has lots of nice hotels and restaurants but you will pay the price. Also, the mountain lacks conveniences like reasonably priced grocery stores for incidentals. Places I do recommend on the mountain: The Gristmill, Johnny Boy's Pancake House, Wobbly Barn, Pizza Jerks
