I recently stayed here during a several day seminar held at the Crowne Plaza by Convention Center. BAD IDEA!!! As previous reviews stated, the room rates were less than half the price. I made my decision between Ramada and Marriott, and what a horrible mistake I made! I am usually someone who travels for work and on a budget, and can usually put up with "no frills" places, but this was even beyond my limit. First, I when I got to the hotel, I had to wait at the front desk almost 15minutes before anyone showed came in to help me. The location is very dimly lit, and the the guy who checked me in was not at all helpful with my questions on where to find food the next day. When I got to my room, it was not at all what was in the pictures.
Old I can deal with, but this place was beyond dirty, the TV only got 6 channels, (and 3 of them were spanish) the mini-fridge was frozen over and dirty, the shower dripped, and there was dried blood and chocolate crusted on the bed spread. Unfortunately, I was so exhausted from my trip I didnt notice the bed until the following morning. Luckily I had pulled it off and didnt actually sleep with it. Because the conference I was in kept me in classes from 7:30am until late in the evening, I wasnt able to move to a different location that day. When I got back to the room the same dirty bed cover had been put back on the bed!!! Also, the walls are paper thin, and all I heard all night was the people next door and upstairs, and I could literally look through the vent in the bathroom wall out to the party at the hotel next door which was blasting music all evening so loud you wouldve thought I was in a club. I thought I'd get myself out of the room by going to work out, which was a joke, because the little room used as their gym not only had old equipment that didnt work, but had no ventilation, and windows which their maintenence guys stood outside of like creepy dirty men staring at me on the treadmill! Like I couldnt see them in the mirror!!!!!
This is a long review, but I just thought everyone should know exactly what an absolute horrible place this is. I would never ever EVER stay here again, and it takes a lot for me to say that about a place! If you need to stay downtown and are on a budget, do yourself a favor and look up the Fairfield Marriot instead. This Ramada i limited in far too many ways to be worth staying here for anything.
