Very affordable compared to other lodging located closer to the ski resort. We paid $50/n during Thanksgiving. The place was actually cleaner than it first seemed. The old carpet turned me off, but our room smelled fresh and no issues other than paper thin walls. The drive to the ski resort is very short and easy, with plenty of coffee/breakfast stops & cvs/walgreens along the way. Free breakfast is always a plus, but the hotel staff is reluctant to replenish/serve the hot stuff (sausages/waffles). The room was spacious, and includes a coffee maker and a snack bag of crasins (on the first night). The pool was not open which was one of the reasons why we chose this place. Stay here for the value, don't expect much from the amenities/perks. Be happy with the extra change in your pocket and don't sweat the small stuff.

I had originally reserved a room at the Comfort Inn Trolley Square, just up the street, for two nights but switched to the Ramada Limited because I was able to get a much better rate through my membership with Kentucky Farm Bureau. At an average of $48 per night, I was willing to put up with a room that might not be as nice as what the Comfort Inn might have provided to save a few dollars.

Interesting setup for the first-floor rooms. They do have doors that open to the parking lot, but they're billed as "emergency exits" and you can't get into the rooms from the outside. You can open the door and leave it open to bring stuff in out of your car, but you have to go through the interior hall and through a common door if you are leaving.

The property is older, no question, but it was adequately clean. My room had one queen bed with a recliner, table and chair, and a microwave and fridge. I was a bit apprehensive that the fridge wasn't plugged in when I got there, but when I plugged it in it came on and I was able to keep my pop cold. The wi-fi internet worked well. Bed was comfortable and the heater worked pretty well and wasn't terribly noisy. Poor water pressure in the shower, however. Breakfast was unimpressive -- mostly bagels and toast and a waffle maker. They had signs saying not to take breakfast items back to the room. Huh? You can have a pizza delivered to your room, bring fast food back, or heat something up in the microwave, but can't take a muffin or a doughnut back to your room? That makes no sense. I also noticed the indoor pool was closed up. And the ice machine was on the second floor. The motel has a decent location on US 7 and is near restaurants and shopping. Rutland has one of Vermont's four Walmarts, just a few miles away in the downtown area, and there are other options as well if you need something. I ate at the Ponderosa Steakhouse both nights and they have decent food.

Two things to note from some previous reviews. You can hear activity on the second floor above. I even heard someone's cell phone vibrating when it rang. But they must have turned in fairly early because it didn't disturb me when I slept. I also did not see any of the long-term residents that others mentioned. There weren't that many patrons at the motel the two nights I was there.

All in all, I would probably stay there again if ever back in Rutland, especially if I could get the same rate.

Being greeted by a smiling happy individual is one of the things that lets you know that you know that everything is gonna be fine during your stay. We were greeted by such an outstanding person when we stayed at the Ramada a couple weekend ago. Our stay there did turn out nicely. The room was perfectly clean and the linens were all spic and span clean when we inspected the bed before we got in it. Breakfast was waiting for us when were awoke at 6am and that gave us a good start to our day. A plus was that there were many stores downtown and close to the hotel so that made things so much easier. Nice place.

In need of complete remodel. Old grungy furniture with stains. See through sheets. Yuck.
