Rodeway Inn Magic Mountain Area - Hotel in Castaic - 31558 Castaic Rd, USA

Dangerous tourist trap. Drug deals happen in the middle of the day in the parking lot. The staff live on-site. They use their children, furniture, and toys to block parking for their partners' eventual return in the evening while glaring angrily at any new "customers." Card games are a huge favorite at this location, elderly men congregate under the stairs at all hours playing. Once the men come home in the evening is when the card game passion comes out! Tables everywhere they can be fit, and people are suddenly partying, and getting loud, broken glass shattering reminded me to take pictures of our vehicles! I'm unsure if there's gang affiliation, but groups with 6-12 men took over the parking lot, blocking access in or out. With tons of people hanging in the wings, hanging around all the first story rooms, which seemed to only belong to the staff. Clothes hanging out to dry are the main decor here. The second story seems mostly unused, and where they put overnight customers. The walkway is scary, cheap looking plywood floors, and the stairway is clearly hazardous, I'm wondering if they ripped off the caution tape when we made the reservation (see pics!). The pool had stuff in it, dirty and definitely not well kept. The room itself wasn't too shabby. Besides the wooden floor being a bit grimy, the room seemed clean. The TV and A.C. worked. The A.C. button was stuck on heat settings, but we finally got cold air. The beds themselves were two fulls, fairly firm with firm pillows. Only two toilet paper rolls are provided, and the bathtub has no way to clog it up for an actual bath. It states there's an ice machine, and I was way too uncomfortable to go looking for it. Upon leaving, there's a waffle station in the lobby, which is the only attractive part of this facility. They offer juice and coffee , as well as the means to make your own waffles. I also noticed upon leaving that there's weird stains in the parking lot, a broke down van with trash piling around it. This was a series of unfortunate events.

I was traveling back home and we decided to stay here to rest before continuing. We stayed from 7am-3pm and we were on the second floor. The front desk guy was very personable and kind. The breakfast was literally just waffles which I didn’t want but I was hungry so I ate it. The second floor walkways feel like they are made of cardboard they were actually scary to walk on and they very much need a renovation at this hotel. We were trying to sleep but downstairs in the parking lot there was a table with chairs and there was men talking so incredibly loud and laughing for hours it sounded like they were right outside our door the walls/windows must be so thin. The parking lot was also kind of sketchy but thankfully nothing happened to our car that was packed with stuff from out move. The fridge in this room was making such a loud annoying sound that wouldn’t let us sleep so I unplugged it. I would stay here again if I had to but, it wouldn’t be my first choice. There was no creepy crawlies so I do appreciate that.

Nice modern rooms. The bed was very comfortable. Clean and a good shower. All for a competitive price. Stayed here passing through on an epic motorcycle trip. Enjoyed hot waffles for breakfast with a cup or two of coffee. Will definitely be back if passing through on another trip.

This place is a trash hole. We made the mistake of booking on Expedia (who, BTW, will not help you when they mislead you), which showed nice pictures overall. When we checked in, we found filthy grounds, a parking lot full of scummy people who had dragged a table into a parking spot and were loudly bickering while playing loud music--all well after 10pm. The office did nothing, and the noise continued until after midnight, when it was replaced by the skins of numerous small kids in the parking lot yelling and running around. The grounds are filthy, the truck noise is incessant, and it's apparently become a refuge for trashy people with no common decency. Avoid this hotel at all costs.

Room was clean, water pressure kinda low for the shower, but no other issues. It's good that they provide wifi/ free breakfast and decent TV channels. Parking is adequate, wasn't noisy. Big rig truck traffic in the area is heavy, not the fault of the hotel.

Positive: "" Negative: There was hair on the shower, toilet and sink. The sheets had a stain and the duvet was dirty. They had no extra pillows and only gave our double bed room 2 towels. This is more of a weekly than a hotel. We NEVER even went to utilize the free breakfast!

This hotel definitely needs a remodel but service here clearly makes up for it. The night shift managers is one of the best examples of good customer service. The young lady in the morning has clearly been mentored by the night manager because nothing compares to the smile she shares and her service. Due to the good customer service, I stay here regularly.

The towels were not clean, the neighbors were outside arguing really loud. My friends room had trash and a dirty sock on the floor. The outside needs major work, and the ac was really cold. That was the only upside of it!!!!
