“Run the other way!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2011

people found this review helpful

I am not one to complain about many hotels, but this place was terrible. We couldn't wait to leave! The room was not clean, we were told we had a room and when we went to the room the door was open. We asked the maid who was nearby and she went in and checked to see if it was ready. We went in and found a dirty wash cloth in the shower with hairs on it. All the electrical plugs in the room were so old that anything you plugged in would fall out and not stay in the plug. The alarm clock was unplugged and I had to plug it in and found filth behind the dresser, pure disgust. The carpet was very dirty and soiled. The free breakfast was an average hotel breakfast and they did have free WIFI, but other than that we were not impressed...

“A good stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2011

Had a recently remodeled room. Flat screen TV. Good value. No complaints. Recognize it is not a Hampton Inn class of hotel so don't expect such.

“Not as bad as we thought it would be”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2011

We were really worried because we had prepaid with hotels.com before we read the reviews, and we knew we were stuck. So, expecting the absolute worst, we were pleasantly surprised. Everything worked. It didn't smell bad. No bed-bugs (or ladies of the evening) in sight, and it was pretty clean (didn't look too closely to the corners, etc. though). The location was great, and the price was right. The furnishings were OLD & worn (threadbare even), but not stained or gross. The mattresses were hard & lumpy, and the towels were pretty scratchy, but what do you expect from the cheapest hotel we could find? (About half the price of the nearest Marriott). The front desk staff was polite, although we didn't have any special requests or problems. The "breakfast" was pre-packaged bagels & danishes from the grocery store, and the coffee definitely wasn't Starbucks, but it wasn't horrid. Overall, a good value for the two nights we were there.

“Nice experience by late booking”

We came to San Luis Obispo late evening and check out few B&B. All of them (even those worst looking or across the street), were much more expensive then Ramada. We had a clean room, big enough to have us with kids. Staff was extremely helpful and helped us to find a place to eat that night. In the morning we had breakfast we could really call "breakfast". There was enough bagels and muffins for all of us and quick refill. Nice experience by the road trip.

“Terrible STALE DUSTY Experience AT RAMADA!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

My family and I were looking for a family suite. We have stayed many times at Ramada Inn's and had previously had positive experiences and economical. We had a VERY STALE, dusty room. The walls were dirty and doors dingy and did not close correctly. Air coniditioner did not work and we had to call 4 times to get the cable to work. All of us wore socks and they were FILTHY from walking on the carpet and tile in the rooms. We should not to swap cleaniliness and maintenance for cost effectiveness. On top of this we paid $270+ once taxes and extra adult costs were added.
