I read the reviews here but decided to stay here mainly because the prices were better but also because I already had had bad experiences at some of the other places in Reading.

I brought up what I had read here during check in and was assured that as long as I stayed in the “front” building, there was nothing to worry about. I will say that it wasn’t the greatest motel that I had stayed at in my life but it was also much better than what I have expected after reading these reviews.

The room was clean and the staff was helpful.

I would also say to anyone visiting Reading that they should not expect much out of any of the motels there as Reading is a pretty tough area in general. I have stayed at most of the places in the area and feel that this was a as nice (or better) a place as any other (outside of my stay at the Sheraton which was pretty nice but much more expensive.)

PLEASE take the advice of the reviews here. DO NOT stay at this place. My family arrived at 3:30 and our room was not available. When asked when, the one woman running the place had to chase down the cleaning staff. A half hour later and still no answer. We were in town, just travelling through and stopped for the outlets and a baseball game. The pool was ok, no towels though. We finally got to the room to be greeted by an enormous bug on the wall. I killed it only to see anoher about 30 mins later. The ice machine was broken and the room dark and unsafe. We had to drive around the hotel to find another because a call to the desk went unanswered. I went to the desk later to get directions and stood there 10-15 minutes before the woman showed up. Later at night we called for a blanket and pillows. The blankets we had were stained with what looked like....you know what. It probably was. After about 20 mins they answered and got back to us 15 minutes later and said they had 1 pillow and blanket....1 PILLOW AND BLANKET IN A RAMADA INN???? We were up all night with the most inconsiderate people partying all night. This was not the fault of the hotel,.but just judges the type of people who stay there. At 7:30am I went to get a cup of coffee and they were drinking beer already. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!

Had three rooms booked for a two night stay for a short family vacation. Ended up checking out after one night. This was undoubtedly the filthiest, most disgusting place I have ever stayed. The rooms smelled of mold and urine; no working door locks or smoke detectors and the refrigerator had a towel in it to soak up the leaking water. There was one wall plug for the entire room which had a six-socket adaptor with six wires plugged into it. Looked like a fire waiting to start. Bathroom consisted of a toilet that must have been lifted from a high school gymnasium stall. Tub had black footprints and someone else's hair in it. Moldy black grout covered the walls and the soap holder was broken off the wall. I went to the front desk to request a can of cleanser and a sponge to clean my own tub and was asked to "shush" because I was too loud with my request!

Every public area is covered in filthy greasy fingerprints, even the entrance door to the lobby! Wallpaper is peeling off the brown-streaked walls and the room furniture is falling apart. I had to remove the mattress to check for bedbugs before going to sleep. At 10:45pm the local (one-block away) ball stadium set off a fireworks show. I thought it was a gunfight in the courtyard area and almost called the police! I lost my prepaid $285 by checking out one day early and the front desk refused to give me a receipt indicating my overpayment. Their excuse was that I didn't owe anything so "the receipt would just come out blank anyway". I called another hotel within hours after checking in here and moved immediately the next morning. The manager I spoke with at the new place I reserved said he frequently has calls from guests at the Ramada asking to move.

I didn't have the stomach to try to visit the restaurant/bar. There was a motorcycle club parked in front of it most of the time and anyway the room took away my appetite.

If you still want to stay in this place, I suggest you do it quickly before the Board of Health shuts it down.

I'd have to say this was the worst hotel we have ever stayed at. The facility was dirty and not at all maintained. We had a shower that would not drain. The first night we were there I called the front desk to have somebody come and take a look at the drain. Nobody showed up. I called again in the morning and again nobody. We had a wedding we were in town for, thank god a family member was just down the hall, my husband and I were able to take showers in their room. We finally got somebody to check out the drain in the shower on day 2. No apolgies, no compensations, nothing. The owner/manager of this place does not know what customer service means. I would stay away from this place!
