Ramada

Hey, you’re not staying at the Hyatt or Westin. I find the reviews be totally outlandish for what they paid for a room.
I’ve stayed at five star hotels down to two. This hotel is totally fine the people at the front desk extremely friendly and willing to help you with anything they can. One individual to note is Edoardo. He went out of his way and still does to make my stay pleasant and friendly.
I found that the hotel itself was clean new paved parking lot. The parking lot has plenty of lighting. The lobby is very comfortable with TV and two computers for your convenience. I found the Mexican restaurant attached to the lobby is very good and super priced right a great value. How convenient is that to wake up and able to walk down into a restaurant and have breakfast if you’re fan of Mexican food and they do serve American also. I found no spells in the hallways and my room to be very well groomed when I entered. Yes there’s a few spots where the wallpaper could be touched up but can certainly look past that with the price I paid. The beds are extremely comfortable and the bathrooms are very clean. My TV worked excellent. The Internet was strong all over the hotel that’s impressive. I also Found it impressive that they came and cleaned the carpets as if it’s a normal routine every couple of weeks I found that very impressive and I felt even more comfortable knowing how diligent they are keeping this place clean. Housekeeping service people are super friendly and go out of their way to try to help us if we needed they are accommodating and efficient.
If I had to say something negative it surely was at the Hyatt or Westin, but come on let’s be reasonable. Don’t forget how much you’re paying per night, per week or per month at that. It’s a great value! And if you want something nicer than step up and go somewhere else and pay premium prices.
I’d recommend this hotel to anybody that has a concern for budget and watch a comfortable place to stay. You can’t beat the value that’s for sure I like the friendly atmosphere.

A business trip to Dallas ran long, so I had to unexpectedly stay overnight. Not sure what was happening in the DFW area, but after a solid hour of browsing different travel sites /​personally calling hotels (who does that anymore?), I came across this hotel on Hotwire — rated at 3 stars. I was taken aback at the fact that it was only 40% recommended, but it was literally the only non 1 star hotel with available rooms within a 45 mile radius!
When I drove up, I said (out loud) to myself, «I’ve literally never seen this place before…» I was raised in Addison and am very familiar with the Park Central area, and although this hotel is in a prominent location, it still somehow manages to sit off of the beaten path.
I’m reminded of the psychological theory that criminals tend to hide in plain sight…
Anyways, I decided to check in and take a look at the room before bringing my luggage inside.
Here’s how my experience went…
— pulled into parking lot and noticed there were no parking lot lights alongside the building
— parked next to the bank next door because it was the only well-​lit area
— around 3 or 4 small groups of young, intimidating thug-​types adult males walking around said dimly-​lit parking lot — one group tried to approach me — I kept walking
— walked into lobby and was immediately blasted with a noxious mold/​onion/​bleach aroma
— was given a room on the «3^rd floor» because it was «more quiet up there»
— proceeded to the elevator and when it opened I noticed the visible grime on the buttons
— walked down the dimly lit hallway on floor 3, opened the door to my room and was greeted by yet another curious odor
— bedspreads were probably from the mid 90’s and were most likely never washed
— bathroom floor was covered in hair and … lint?
— decided this wasn’t the place for me and walked back out to the hallway
— at this time, I noticed THE SAME GROUP OF GUYS THAT TRIED TO TALK TO ME IN THE PARKING LOT STANDING AT THE END OF THE HALLWAY, LOOKING AT ME
— feeling uncomfortable, I walked as quickly as I could — trying not to give off a panicked vibe
— waiting at the elevators, I heard the group of men slowly approaching me
— saw the emergency exit stairs and RAN down 3 – 4 steps at a time
— as I neared the stairwell exit into the parking lot, I heard the door from floor 3 close, THEY WERE COMING AFTER ME
— I ran to my vehicle, locked my doors, and drove off as fast as I could
— As I pulled out of my parking space, looked towards the stairwell exit doors, and saw the group of thugs coming out
I did not go back to check out. I was terrified. No telling what they were planning on doing to me — a single, white female in a business suit after dark. I told Hotwire what happened and even though I did not purchase the protection plan, they refunded my money with no question.
I ended up finding a hotel in Ft. Worth, out of the way, but I didn’t care by this point. I would have been better off sleeping in my car.
Please, do not stay here. It’s only a matter of time before something horrific happens here, if it hasn’t already.

I was staying at the hotel because firetrucks responding to a fire in the apartment building next to mine knocked out a water main for a day.
On the good side: they were available at a reasonable ($ 60) price on New Year’s Eve on short notice, and they had hot water for a shower.
On the bad side: They don’t tell you when you make the reservation online that they take a $ 50 refundable deposit at check-​in; the heater took literally hours to warm the frigid room (they apparently save costs by keeping the in-​room units off — they are the typical window units like you’d find in old hotels, not the type with an actual thermostat). The covers on the bed were thin and shabby. We checked in at 7 p.m. and left for a party around 10. When we got back at about 2 a.m., the room was barely warming up but better than when we first arrived. We had left the heater running on full blast and had complained at the desk before we left to go out and thought someone might have taken care of it while we were out, but the room never got as warm as you would have thought. There was even cool air blowing out the vent of some parts of the unit. On checking out, I complained at the front desk to the manager, who said she wanted to make me happy and asked what I wanted. I asked for a discount, because what else were they going to offer me? She said she was going to go check the room. I didn’t really see the point since it had warmed up enough to be comfortable (just never hot like you’d expect) and all she was going to do was come back and tell me that it was working. She argued with me about «the realities of the situation» and «putting [myself] in [her] place» and she has 100 customers just like me who come and complain asking for discounts so she has to check. IF she has that many customers complaining, that should tell her something about the quality of the property. Honestly, for something better than a roach motel, I would have expected better EVERYTHING. In addition to the heater issue, a lamp didn’t work, the couch had a tear in the armrest, the mattress was uncomfortable (we could feel the springs), the covers were old and shabby, and even though they have a coffee maker and mugs in the room, they refused to stock the room with coffee. If you wanted coffee, you had to get it from the lobby (which was not disclosed to me when I requested coffee be sent to the room at the same time that I first reported the heater problem). Replace the owners with people who care about customer comfort and this could be a decent place.

Checked in Last night. The place was kind of sketchy at first. And still is. Weird people around the place and just stay there looking to see if anyone will do something. Then there’s the customer service. They are alright but of no help with using the same card on file.
The wallpaper is falling apart, stairs on them as well. The restroom looks great except the toilet paper
looks old. The furniture is of no bother. The bed are made perfectly. No bed buds of such sort. The t.v. is jacked up but I am not here for that.
The only bother is the room and hallway smelling like poison. That’s a huge concern because its a powerful smell.
The staff itself. Well the front desk is more courteous than the others. They just stare at you like «dude get your stuff straight and leave please» and that’s a bad look.

I’ll start by saying; can this place get anymore ghetto? I made reservations via
three days prior for a non-​smoking king bed room. We arrived at the hotel by 8:30pm and was told that due to me arriving late, they had given my room to someone else, mind you I had already paid for 2 nights. The lady then offered a different room that would have no microwave and no fridge. For the sake of not arguing I said that would be ok. As I am waiting to get the room key I start smelling marijuana, I turn around and see two guys passing around a blunt in the «lounging area» while the Loud music from the Mexican restaurant connected to the hotel is pounding the walls way. I kindly asked to please give me a room that’s not near the restaurant nor the front desk. The room was outdated but very quiet which I was fine with being that we would only be in there to sleep a few hours each night.
Finally came time to check out and wow! I walk to the front desk only to find a Korean lady (I’m assuming the owner) and this girl yelling at each other going back and forth about $ 10 and a dirty room for a good 5 min. I will definitely not be staying here ever again.

This hotel was terrible and infested with roaches. I wouldn’t recommend you stay there as this is very unsanitary. I walked in the room and used the bathroom and the 1 roach I saw turned in to 10 roaches. This property is very sketchy and the management needs to tend to the health matters. I feel sorry for anyone staying here, as you should feel comfortable when staying away from home. Overall terrible.

Don’t let the bad reviews discourage you! This obviously isn’t a five star hotel, but you get what you pay for people! The management is awesome and are always willing to work with you on price, reservations, problems with house keeping, etc… The restaurant/​bar down stairs is always a good place to eat /​get a drink if you don’t feel like driving or just want something convenient. The rooms aren’t anything fancy, but the bathrooms are actually pretty nice! I stay in hotels 350 days out of the year, and rarely do I leave a review, but reading some of these reviews I just felt obligated to set the record straight! It’s no la Quinta but the prices are always fair and the service is impeccable!

When my boyfriend and I went to Dallas as a last minute thing we only booked this place because it was affordable. This place is so dirty. There was hairs on the bathroom floor. No toilet paper. And the shower was dirty too. We got there around 10 pm, we took a nap. At 12:30 am we left to get something to eat. We got back to the hotel around 2 am and there was pimps, prostitutes, drug dealers all over the parking lot. I guess the hotel doesn’t do anything about it because they’re probably their main source of income. Then at check out time the manager was going to charge us 50 extra bucks for deposit that we supposedly didn’t leave. She was getting all upset and arguing with us. Not until we showed her our print out. Either she wanted to con us out of some money for that shitty place or she was having a bad day whatever it is that place SUCKS

Very bad motel don’t want to visit this place thay still my credit card information I did find that before i go there.

We booked this hotel through Priceline. Upon arriving here with my family, there was what appeared to be a couple of prostitutes and a pimp in the parking lot doing business in front of the hotel. After parking in the lot, we witnessed several drug transactions happening there as well as being approached by one of the drug dealers thinking that we were there to do some kind of business. Needless to say, we did not stay since we felt extremely unsafe here. The management was 100% unwilling to give us any kind of refund on the room, even though it was only paid for an hour before, and was never checked in to. What a disgrace. Shame on you people. When I told the manager of his parking lot crime problems, he brushed it off and claimed that it was just not true. I would suggest to stay away from this hotel unless there is some other type of business that you are there for!

Like others have said, u get what u pay for. I usually book hotels on Priceline but went with Hotwire this time bc it was a little cheaper. I think this hotel claims to be a 3-​star but it’s more like a 2-​star. Dark parking lot, keys don’t always work, no ice on first floor. Had to go up to 2^nd floor for ice. There were 2 little bugs crawling on my drink by the bed. Gross. Wifi works, so that’s good. And there is a fridge/​microwave. But next time I will pay $ 10 more and stay at Wyndham across the street. It’s much nicer and feels safer.

Booked our event for their Ball Room and had a great time. Staff was very helpful with everything. The rooms were nice and the A/​C worked great. Had a fridge and microwave in the room. Lots of channels to choose from. Very clean hotel on the inside. We had a lot of bikes parked out front and none were messed with. The hotel has had a lot of work done to it and it shows. THIS HOTEL IS NOT CLOSED!!!

Anything and everything that could go wrong in a stay happened at this terrible, dirty hotel. I am normally not too picky but this hotel is just awful. We had room 128 which happened to be right next to a rape-​y stairwell and so conveniently placed next to the maids laundry room. We are traveling performers on a different time zone and when your exhausted as all hell and the maid, who is allowed to bring her kids to work with her and run wild, is not exactly my idea of fun. One if the nights some idiot on the second floor decided to pull the fire alarm AND break the hose free and spray everything which flooded the second and first floor. We arrived back to see our hotel swarmed by firefighters (not even cute ones) and Lake Michigan in front of our hotel door. Their were little roaches all over our bathroom, the toilet leaked at the base, half the outlets didn’t work and the one in the bathroom was covered in smoke stains. Excellent! Every time we left our room, the key would stop working and needed to be replaced. And when ALL of this was reported to the owner she just said there wasn’t a thing she could do because we booked through Priceline. Don’t stay here. In fact, don’t stay anywhere near here. This place was filled with a bunch of ghetto fuckers that only come to party. We were followed to our room twice (by the rape-​y stairwell) the only thing cool about this hotel was a front desk worker who went above and beyond to make us feel better (didn’t work but still.) thanks Luis! A for effort. As for everyone else? Suck it!

I would give it zero stars if possible. I booked this through
. When I pulled into the parking lot I should have just turned around. Very uninviting. A woman who appeared to be a hooker was sitting near the front door smoking a cigarette, There was a huge stretch limo with tinted windows at the front as well.
Walked into lobby. There was a sign that said no weapons and all visitors must stop by front desk before proceeding to room. Hmmm… hookers and drug deals? I had to sign a sworn affidavit that I would not use candles or incense in my room. Place looked like a ghost town.
I am an idiot for not turning around at this point.
I checked into my room. Had the feel of a sleazy low class motel room. Tiny bathroom. Very depressing. Turned on air conditioning — very loud unit. Looked outside to a broken down closed swimming pool.
Not the kind of room I could feel comfortable in.
Getting more depressed.
Tried to take a 30 minute nap. Weird noises and smells in this place.
Got up and noticed water staining on carpet near my door.
Called
to try to report this place and get transferred. They were of no help (HORRIFIC customer service).
Got on computer and booked another hotel in nicer area. Packed my bags and left. Hopefully my Chase card people will side with me when I dispute this charge.
I hate to complain about businesses. Please check out all of my reviews here. I am not one of those who gets down on other businesses, Usually I see through a few minor problems.
This was bad. Really bad.

I only stayed for one night but my king suite was spacious, clean and comfy. It had a nice couch and desk. I slept, I showered, I split.
Just a basic Ramada, they’re all about the same to me. At check in, they did ask me to sign a bunch of strange disclaimers like «no candles». Hmm, wasn’t planning on it, but Okay.
I noticed some sketchy people lurking around the area around the hotel, but they’re everywhere nowadays.
Note: you have to plug in the powers strip near the refrigerator if you want the desk outlets to work. Took me a minute to figure that one out.
And why is it that the remote batteries for the TV are always dead? Oh well, I didn’t come to watch TV anyway. I’m here to sleep.
I was lucky enough to park in the front lot, but looking out my room window at the rear parking lot, it looked a bit dark and scary.
I reserved this room with my
app and was quite pleased with the room and price.

The facility looks a bit old on the outside. Once you walk in the first thing you see is that they will charge you if you bring a pet or weapon (?) inside. Seriously? How welcoming.
The bathrooms in the lobby smell horrible, not dirty as in doodoo but like serious onions. As if someone took onions and garlic and washed everything with it inside. It was so bad I had to hold my breath to pee.

I really wanted to give this hotel a better review because there are quite a few perks that I love (free wifi, free breakfast, microwave/​fridge in room, clean rooms/​bathroom, bar area, good cable package) but the few downfalls are significant enough to dock 2 stars.
My husband & I recently stayed here due to a conference in town. The conference itself was actually held at a different hotel but it was overbooked so many of us were set aside here, instead. Regardless, upon walking in, I definitely felt like the place had a good look and felt comfortable/​clean.
These are my personal downsides to the hotel:
1) Poorly lit parking lot– If you plan on extending the parking lot to behind the building and the side, PLEASE keep these areas well lit. Especially in this part of town. There is absolutely no light behind the building which makes the entire area very unsafe at night. Parking is difficult to begin with but throwing in this additional factor definitely makes it that much harder.
2) Cold shower!!! Enough said, right? I just couldn’t believe this. We travel often and I have never, in my life, encountered a hotel in America that cannot retain hot water. Its not like I’m asking for scalding hot water or anything ridiculous, but our shower couldn’t even conjure up warm water. Hello, its October, so at night you’d really like a warm shower– not freezing cold. Unfortunately, we couldn’t have that. Major con.
3) Breakfast. Although its free, its disappointing. Some boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, then a bunch of pre-​packaged foods that might appease an 8 year old (ie: donuts and frosted flakes). I mean, seriously? Is bacon that tough to throw on a frying pan? I’m not expecting this place to be Embassy Suites quality, but I’ve seen motels that offer a better breakfast than this.
So here’s the situation: If you plan on only being around town for a day or two and need a cheap room/​free internet, hit this place up. Just plan on a cold shower and having breakfast elsewhere.

Wow! Not bad, has a mini fridge, sofa and nice shower. Showers are so important to me, i like the water pressure.
My only complaint is that I think strippers and prostitutes use this place. I’d rather pay more and feel safe.

The worst experience ever. I guess that is normal for $ 50 per night. Horrible carpet. Deteriorated lobby. Dirty rooms. Old, torn bedsheets. On a different night when my parents were staying, I asked for extra pillows for my Dad’s medical condition. The owner was very rude. She told me in a rude way she was the owner when I asked how her day was going. No internet. I would avoid this place but I think it does’t matter because the hotel is always busy.

We stayed in a Ramada in Flagstaff Az. that was decent. We pull up to this one and it looks okay. We walk into the lobby and we are like «wow» this was a good pic. I asked the desk clerk how his day was and he said awful!” He says he works too much, probably do not want to complain to guests right off the bat.
He gives us our room keys and they offered us one of those luggage carts, which was great because my Fiancé and I are traveling to Tennessee from California and we have a lot of crap. I go to the room with all my stuff and open the door and it smells like smoke, in a non-​smoking room. I went to the desk and they switched our rooms immediately, which was nice.
The room was decent. Nice bathroom, with a crazy shower head that does not work right. I could stand in the middle of the water stream and not get wet. The room itself was furnished kind of old but whatever. The carpet in the hall needs to be replaced. All in all, for 63.13 a night booked on Orbitz this was not horrible.
