Ramada Painted Post

The two night stay was worth the money. My family and I drove down to Corning, NY for the Canadian long weekend to visit the state parks and the Corning Glass Museum.
I booked the hotel through
for $ 99 per night. I was sold on the location and price. The hotel was beside a gas station so we did not worry about finding a place to fill up, especially before we left to drive back to Canada. It was also a short drive to the museum, Walmart and restaurants.
The hotel is fairly large and can accommodate a lot of patrons, plenty of spots for parking. The hotel hosted a prom the first night we were there so the hotel was booked to close to capacity. The second night was the complete opposite, only about 15 to 20 rooms were occupied.
The staff were attentive and welcoming. I asked if I would hear the noise from the party right before I checked in and the staff said that if we could hear the music, she would be glad to help us switch rooms. We couldn’t near the noise, but the staff even called our rooms shortly after we settled in to see if we were ok with the noise levels.
The room was larger than I imagined. It had a mini fridge too! The room I stayed in did not have a microwave, but another room we booked had one. So if you plan on using a microwave on your trip, be sure to ask when you check in!
The complimentary internet was fantastic — no complaints there. The complimentary breakfast was underwhelming. Not a lot of selection, just the basic cereal, coffee, sausages, toast, waffles. Definitely less variety compared to the other Ramada’s I have visited before in the US.
Overall lovely weekend and would stay at this location again.

This place was equally good and bad. First off their restaurant «It’s Five O’clock Somewhere» was a bit over charged for the quality of the food, but the bartender was so sweet and really attentive to my daughter’s dairy allergy. We talked to Steve upon arriving (who was really funny and nice) and told him our name and that we had our cat in the car and needed to let him out. He either didn’t hear us or didn’t think anything of it (the hotel is supposed to be pet friendly) and we checked in and settled in for the night, got dinner and when we went to bed the bed was like a brick! My husband woke up in massive pain and when speaking to Stan at the front desk about getting better beds, mentioned our cat and was told that they were not told about this. We did mention it to Steve when we came in and when we booked the appointment with AAA saw ALL the notes our travel agent posted after everything was set and paid for 2 ½ weeks before the trip. Stan told my husband that even if we change rooms we couldn’t leave our animal in the room alone, even if placed in a kennel within the room and he told us to keep our cat in the car while we visited. Our car that morning was almost 90° and it is illegal to leave any animal in a vehicle all day. So not only did he ask us to break a law, but also put our family pet in harms way. I was so upset, so I talked to him myself and managed to work it out. Our next problem was that only one entrance was secured. You can open all the doors around the clock without a key card, which was also a bit unnerving. We had the opportunity to meet Keiana (sorry if I misspelled your name hun) who was so very helpful and very well informed about the areas activities and places to visit. She was so sweet and bent over backwards to help us with our needs. For a few days after the room change, everything was fine. The cleaning staff were very understandable and worked with us so our room would be cleaned before we left so we didn’t have to keep our cat Kenneled all day, which we really appreciated. The last thing that happened that kept us from giving 3 or 4 stars was we found a piece of wood with staples sticking out of it that nearly went through my foot. My cat was playing with it and I saw it hit my foot just as I was about to step on it. God forbid it did go through my foot, or god forbid my daughter’s or husband’s foot. I was mortified! The staples stuck out between a quarter to a half inch from the piece of wood. I will add the picture of this to show you. When showing the front desk assistant he asked if I actually stepped on it, and when I said I started to but saw it before I put my foot down all the way, he shrugged and took it. The manager wanted to check in with us about our stay which I really appreciated, but I was at the point of frustration at that point, thanked him for his concern and questioned him about the doors not being secure and he said he is working on it. They did fortunately follow state law and allow us to lock up our valuables and got them as we needed. Our stay was a bit up and down, and recommend that: 1. You call ahead to see if their security doors work if security matters to you. 2. Double check before you arrive that they know you have a pet even if you travel agent tells them, because it can get lost in translation (more my fault then theirs, to assume they got all the information) 3. You specify what kind of bed is best for you if you have a bad back or are older so you can be comfortable and give them enough time to book it for you and 4. Check your room to make sure it is free of anything potentially hazardous. Most of the employees were really nice, but I will probably just stick to the hotel I have been used to using in Corning. Good luck! And please tip the maids cause they are wonderful!

Most people know that I don’t give out my 5 star reviews. I stayed at this hotel while my road trip to Canada, NYC and DC. We arrived here late and they kept all our paper work ready along with keys so that we can check in and are in our room in no time. I like it when the check-​in process is almost timeless. The front desk lady was friendly and she also suggested that they have a bar on the facility if we decided to get a drink. Now, that’s very convent where we don’t have to worry about drinking and driving. I was also told that they have hot breakfast in the morning until 9:30 or 10a.
So, we check-​in and get to our room we obviously had non-​smoking room and surprisingly enough, our room didn’t smell like smoke like the other reviewer mention. Anyways, so the first thing I did was to check out all of our rooms and make sure everything was in order in-​case we needed to change the rooms and everything was fine.
The beds were comfortable so we had a great night sleep after long drive and kids had fun watching cartoon in the morning. I remember front desk clerk had said they have hot breakfast so I went down stairs to check it out and they were not kidding. They had scrambled eggs, roasted red potatoes, biscuits, sausage, bacon, fruits, lemon cake and milk/​serials along with hot coffee and tea.
We were running little late past check out time so I called in and told the front desk that we would be running 30 minutes late. She said no problem; just leave the keys in the room our come to front desk if you would like to check out with receipt.
Now, this is a Ramada hotel and I believe it was to its standard. I can’t expect InterContentinal hospitability from Ramada and complain about it.

Rooms smell of stale smoke and they are non smoking rooms. Stayed two nights. Beds not made after the first night since we were not out of our room before 10. Breakfast was a joke. Never ever ever again!!!
