“Much better than anticipated”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

I was (am) here for a dog show. I waited a bit too long to make a hotel reservation and only a couple of hotels in the dog show group had rooms available. After seeing disgusting photos and reviews at others I decided to stay here even though the only room available was a smoking room. I came prepared with allergy meds, Febreze, etc. and was expecting the worst. I was pleasantly surprised. When I entered the room it was clean, no smoke smell, and in very good condition. The entertainment center has a couple of dings but that's expected --- the furniture in mid-range hotels doesn't get the most respect from many guests. The water is hot, the shower clean and works well, the AC/heat works fine and it's quiet here even with the place booked full. There are some (I think) road crew guys staying here but they are just like any other guests. Their trucks are louder than cars but they come and go quietly and there's not disruption from these folks who are just trying to make a living like the rest of us. The desk clerk at check in was very nice, checked for a non-smoking room in case someone had canceled, etc.. I would definitely stay here again and am so glad I'm at this hotel rather than some I've heard others at the shows discussing. Yes, an update and refurbish would be nice but this is not a bad place at all.

“Wonderful traveling experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012

I have had the pleasure of staying in this hotel twice for extended periods, would certainly stay again, and would highly recommend it. The staff and management at this Ramada have gone above and beyond to make both of my stays enjoyable and to make my family and I feel comfortable away from home. Kudos to Ms. Pat, Rachel, Chris, and the wonderful housekeeping staff. You guys are great!! Keep up the good work.

I stay at this hotel once a week and would not go anywhere else. The people are nice, friendly and helpful. The room is always clean and has microwave and refrigerator which is always a bonus. I would definately stay here again. It is a excellent hotel

“Likely not to stay here again”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 September 2011

My room was absolutely filthy. No deadbolt on the door. The door did not fit tightly to the frame and knocked whenever the wind hit it. Bathroom was dirty with visible mold around tub and soap dish. The showerhead had dirty fingerprints all over it. When I asked to have my room cleaned, the fingerprints were still there, the coffee pot had not been cleaned, and towels were not restocked.

The carpeting was wet...and not from the rain. It was wet around the beds, in the walkway to the bathroom, etc. I left my shoes on except for when sitting on the bed. Several iron burn impressions on the carpeting.

The lights in the stairwell did not come on when it got dark. Pretty creepy if you're arriving late or leaving early.

The front lobby area looks inviting...the rooms, at least mine, were very uninviting...the area where they serve the continental breakfast could use a good cleaning too. I elected only to get coffee each morning.

The facility is close to both sit down and fast food restaurants and grocery stores.

Highspeed Internet access worked well.

I selected this motel on the Ramada/Wyndham reputation. This motel does nothing to help that reputation. It's definitely a motel. Nowhere near being hotel status.

It certainly is not worth the money paid to stay here.

Room Tip: Stay somewhere else

Thank you for your review. I have taken steps to fix the problems that you had at our hotel. WE did have a lot of rain and sometimes they do get wet. I have adjusted the lights to make sure they come on at dust so our guests can see. Again I appreciate your review and I will strive to make sure that everything is improved.
