Rodeway Inn Phoenix

Room was fairly clean, and a McDonalds was within walking distance.

When I arrived, Juan at the desk said the credit card I used to book the room online was declined, even though I had been using it all day purchasing gas on the road. He said he'd run it again and then told me it was still declined. I called my credit union while in the lobby and they told me, there was no record of either transaction, just the gas and other items I'd put on the card, and there was no reason for the card to be declined. I told my credit union I'd go ahead and pay cash. When I asked for a receipt for the room, I was told they would bring it to my room later. Three hours later I asked Juan again and he said the system was still down. I asked if I could just get something in writing to prove I paid. He said he'd put the receipt under the door later. I told him thank you that I needed the receipt to get reimbursed. I never got the receipt and I had to leave at 4:00 AM. It felt like a scam to me, to pocket the rent. The TV was disconnected, with the AC, it took most of the night to get the room cool enough to sleep.
