I stayed at the Rodeway Inn last June when they were called Guest House Inn. They were actually in the midst of their renovation process at the time. I was also skeptical because of the reviews I had read on the internet but it was nowhere near as bad as any of those reviews. It was perfectly adequate for me and their free continental breakfast was convenient as well. My only complaints about the place was that there were no hangers to hang up shirts, and I was woken up in the middle of the night once because there were people yelling at each other in the corridor. So I'd definitely stay there again if I were to ever go back to The Price is Right.
I have also stayed at The Farmer's Daughter and while it's a nice hotel, the price really isn't worth it. A lot of people (myself included) pay for rooms there and then never end up sleeping in them because they want to wait outside in line right away. Sure you might end up doing that if you were to stay at The Rodeway Inn as well, but at least you'd be paying a lot less money.
