Wow - I thought Ramada was a bit of a premiere chain. Maybe they are - but certainly not the Ramada Edmonton South location. What a dump.

They're whole reason for being was their water park. When we checked in, we were told the water park was closed and had been for the past 6 months. They weren't sure if it would ever be opened again. So, no pool or spa...

We stayed for a couple of days and we were gone during the day. However, when we came back for the evenings, our room was never made up. I had to call for clean towels, soap, and shampoo. So, not sure what the deal was, but if you're whole business model relies upon providing clean accommodations, the Ramada Edmonton South failed epically.

So - look elsewhere. Consider another hotel chain.

the price was right, the time frame short. We were in Edmonton for 15 hours. The plan, car, get some supper, go see a few movies and then back to the room for a 7am flight.
Of course i took the reviews on Trip Advisor with a grain of salt seeing they were not current and most complained of the renovation going on. I can live with carpet that needs to be changed or work in the building being done
what I can't live with is paper thin walls and the remains of a bridal party that is staying an extra night. i figured we were safe due to it being a Sunday night but I was mistaken
We went to bed around 11pm to be woken up by kids running up and down the hall and the amazing ability to hear and make out conversations in the hallway three rooms away.
I had to phone the front desk to complain and had someone talk to the group 10 minutes later. This happened two more times and led to us missing our flight cut off by 5 minutes.

I will say, the front desk did give us a 20% discount and was very apologetic, but the discount was not worth a return trip to this hotel

That aside, the price was great and the location to south Edmonton great, but we chose to stay at a different hotel on the way back home

The elevator cabs are also very small and will only accommodate 3 people with luggage

My husband stays there a few times a week and stays in 348, 448 or 548. He called to the evening before to ask if I could check in early as I was meeting him there. They said it "depended" but to call the next day, so I I waited until 2 pm and then went to the hotel. They advised me the room wasn't ready, yet they didn't offer to put me in one of the other rooms that is reserved for my husband, so I left for a few hours until my husband was off work. The pool has been "under repair" for a few weeks and no sign of when it will be up and running. The elevator looks in need of repair but the rest of the hotel seems well kept and clean. The room was nice enough and clean and better than I expected. No flat screen TV however and my husband was having problems with their free wifi for the last two weeks that he stayed there. No complimentary breakfast and the rate management gives him for staying multiplenights is ok, but I'm sure if I looked, I could find him a better rate. Has a microwave and minifridge with close proximity to Supertore and restaurants and easy access to the Queen E when it's time to head home to Calgary.

We entered "new room" the bed was a little messy and the pillow crunched down like someone had napped on it. I had drove from SK and needed to use the washroom immediately so I walked in and there was poop stains on the inside of the toilet, the soap was opened and used. It was then I realized someone entered after it was cleaned to nap and use the washroom.

I went to the front desk and complained, they offered an excuse not an apology. We got a new room.

The next morning I brought it up with the desk person hoping they'd accomodate by offering a discount for the inconvenience AND on the basis that in the past few months we had stayed there probably 10 nights already. Instead the front desk person confronted the cleaning staff in front of me. I had made a formal complaint to the management and upon the next stay was hoping they'd give us a discount of sorts and never receieved such. There were even e-mails exchanged.

Based on the way they handled this they've lost my business, I have to stay in Edmonton a lot too.
