We stayed for eight (8) days in April, 2011. The owner/manager, Mr. Patel, and his staff were so very helpful and courteous. They could answer all our questions about attractions, restaurants, and sightseeing and offered coupons and discounts.
Mr. Patel took over the Ramada in February, 2011 and has made many improvements. The breakfast buffet was wonderful and the staff kept the food replenished during the entire breakfast from 6:30 AM until 9:30 AM. So if you came late you still had fresh fruit (bananas, oranges, apples,etc.) and a good assortment of danishes, muffins, bagels, cereal, etc. You could take the food to your room or eat in the lobby or upstairs on an open balcony.
Each room has a refrigerator and a microwave. The bathrooms have been remodeled and the showers have a functional shower head that varies pressure and spray. The rooms are kept very clean by a cheerful cleaning staff. Coffee is available in the lobby at anytime and it was good. However, the room also had a coffee maker that made one cup at a time and the quality of this coffee was outstanding. Usually the coffee in most motel rooms is almost undrinkable.
We had a king size bed that was very comfortable with nice clean bedding. The room was not huge but very adequate with a table and two chairs, a computer desk with ergonomic chair, and a comfortable, overstuffed armed chair. The open closet was about 6 feet long and easily held our clothes as well as our luggage on the floor. The TV was good and had many channels including HBO.
The location is perfect. It is close to the airport, Sea World, Old Town, Balboa Park, downtown, and all the expressways.
We can highly recommend this motel.
