"We stayed here late at night while passing through and booked 3 rooms for our group. All we needed was a decent place to sleep before continuing our drive in the morning, but unfortunately the experience was very disappointing.
As soon as we opened the room door, we noticed the suite door did not close properly. There were visible gaps around the door and the deadbolt would not latch securely. The room also had a smoky, musty smell upon entering, although it appeared clean at first glance.
Once we checked the beds, both had white sheets with noticeable yellow stains. We checked all 3 rooms and found similar issues in each one. Because of this, most of us slept fully clothed on top of the blankets and didn’t get much rest.
From the bed you could see directly into the bathroom, where the towels also had dark stains on them. The bathroom faucet was loose and not properly secured to the sink, and the bathroom door would not lock. One member of our group was so uncomfortable that they left in the middle of the night.
The kids managed to sleep okay, but the adults had a very difficult time feeling comfortable or relaxed.
In the morning, there was no checkout drop box available for keys, and several guests had simply left their keys hanging on the office door.
Overall, this motel is extremely overpriced for the condition of the rooms. In our opinion, it would be more reasonably priced around $50–$80 per night unless major upkeep and maintenance improvements are made. "
"I’ve stayed in many Ramadas over the years. They’ve always been a solid choice. This was the worst I’ve ever experienced by far. It’s old and run down. But even then, if the staff was positive, friendly and helpful you could overlook the other stuff. Not my experience. Also heads up if you have mobility issues, there is no lift. Lots of stairs. And many long connected hallways to get to the room."
"Breakfast needs a lot of work. Eggs were cold and tough. Juice machine needs cleaning - juice tasted moldy. Sausage wee not edible. Food not replenished in a timely fashion"
"The property was well looked after and clean. The staff was friendly and very attentive. The rooms were well stocked and clean. My only concern was I was unable to close the blackout blind and had the hotel sign shining into the room all night. Otherwise a lovely stay. "
