“Third visit in a year!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

We live about an hour and a half away and love coming to this hotel. The beds are comfortable and we always have a good sleep there! The indoor courtyard is the big reason we go to this hotel. It snowed while we were there this past Friday night, and we had no idea! We were on our deck, looking at the pool, pretending it was summer.

The staff was friendly and we enjoyed our meal in the restaurant.

The only two downsides this time were that the room we were in seemed to have an older bathtub/shower. We had been in nicer ones, and this one seemed a bit dated. The pool was cold too, I only saw one other person in it during our entire stay. The hot tub was nice, although the jets were broken, like I think they were last May too.

We're booked in for two nights over the March break but can only get a king bed for three of us. Not sure if we'll keep the reservations or not, but we do always enjoy our time away at this hotel.

Room Tip: Face the pool for sure, or it is like any other hotel.

Thank you for your very nice review! Yes-you are quite right-although we did do a big renovation on our guest bathrooms with new granite countertops,sinks,lighting and new wall vinyl, we were not able to replace all the tubs at this time....but we do hope to soon! Really glad you like our hotel and thrilled you are coming back on March break-keep checking for a room with a balcony and 2 queen beds-we do get cancellations and always try our very best to get you in the room you want! See you in March!

My family and I booked here for their New Years bash, it was fantastic! They had lots of activities for the kids and drink vouchers for the adults. The staff were super friendly and more than accomodating, especially considering the fun chaos of excited families on New Years eve. Great value for the money, awesome personalities of staff, and comfortable accomodations. Great job folks.

Room Tip: They have a fantastic open area overlooking the pool, rec area. You can request to have a room overl...

“Modiocre and a bit out of the way”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2011

Quite dated. Restaurant not so good. Indoor courtyard stinks of chlorine form pool. Not the best location if you are on business and not driving. I would opt for something closer to the downtown next time. The room itself and the staff were fine.

Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to write a review on our hotel.I am curious as to why you choose our hotel when it is so obviously not a downtown location,however, we do offer a shuttle service for any guest wishing to go anywhere in the city...sure hope you took advantage of that! And regarding the chlorine smell.....not sure what you were smelling but it wasn't chlorine as we do not use it in our pool.I am very sorry you didn't like our restaurant-it is actually a very popular and busy restaurant,but perhaps just not what you are used to being from Toronto.Hope you had a nice trip home.

“Home away from home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We spent three nights at the Ramada just before Christmas and felt as comfortable as it is possible to be when staying away from home. The beds were comfortable and although we brought our own pillows we needn't have done. The water was hot, the room was quiet and I loved being on the ground floor for a change. We had several meals at the hotel and found the food tasty and the prices reasonable. Staff went out of their way to remember us and be friendly and helpful. The location, right by the Princess Margaret Bridge, allowed us to go to either side of the river quickly. I'd recommend this to anyone who has a car at their disposal.

Room Tip: I would try for a ground floor room. #108, very near the entrace, was perfect.

“Great for meetings”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

Room was comfortable and clean. A bit of an odd setup, I had a "balcony" with a good view of the meeting room area and a random gumball machine. Pool/hot tub is in a peculiarly exposed place, full view of the restaurant, meeting rooms, and all inside guest rooms. Pool hours are poor and not conducive to business travelers, pool not open til 9 so I could not take a swim before my 830 meetings even if I wanted to. Courtyard area was quite dusty, cobwebs down to the fake potted trees. Our 3-day meeting was very well taken care of food and supply-wise. Pool tables in the courtyard are in such terrible shape they either need to be removed or made free. Pool cues should be at the area, not at front desk. Avoid the "poolside bar"- they poured half the bottle of Smirnoff ice in a small cup, did not offer me the rest and charged $6. Breakfast that was included with our corporate rate was tiny portion-wise for the coupons we were given. Taste was fine however, and the portions allotted for our meeting group breaks and lunch were more than sufficient to feed everyone.

Room Tip: Make sure you get ground floor, if there really is no elevator. If you have kids, I think a courtyar...
