We stay at this Ramada every year when my family visits Idlewild Park, which is only a 3 minute drive from the hotel. The location is great; close to the park and within walking distance of the historic downtown Ligonier, Fort Ligonier and all the nice shops and restaurants. The hotel is a bit pricey, but when you're the only game in town and routinely sold out on summer weekends, I guess they can charge what they want.
Our main issue this year, however, is that we got a suite for our family (mom, dad, and 2 little kids). The room was great; just what we needed. However, some of the suites are located right outside the main entry way to the hotel, meaning that not only are the lights outside the window very bright all night, but the smoking area was just outside our room. There was a wedding party at the hotel that night, and we had a big group of drunken partiers hanging out on the benches and rocking chairs which are literally just outside the window on the same level. They were loud, and kept my wife and I up. And their smoke came in through our air conditioner on the wall. The lobby is also connected with this area, so I would have expected the hotel staff to keep people from loudly congregating there in the middle of the night, but they did not stop them. Even if they had kept them quiet, the smoke coming into the room was not acceptable.
On a positive note, the hotel has implemented a free breakfast in the restaurant, however it is pretty limited.
