I have just walked out of the Ramada Downtown two days early. The experience was as distressing as it was infuriating.
Don't believe the hotel's corporate website. All rooms have NOT been newly rennovated. Indeed the one given to me looked like it hasn't been touched in 20 years. It was cramped, dark and depressing. The furniture is old, the carpet smelly, the bath towells thin and shabby and the bathroom a disgrace. My shower did not work, nor did the snack machine located opposite. In fact, not much worked at all in this place.
There are two buildings "run" by the hotel, both competing for the award "Worst Hotel Shanty in America", but the Annex building defies description. This is a family site so I will refrain from saying what I really feel about it.
The wireless Internet worked only when it wanted to, and in fact was only working for four hours during my stay.
The front desk staff were as nice as they could be in the circumstances, though working under enormous pressure to deal with customer complaints. The breakfast was OK but basic, but beyond that I'm afraid that this is one experience that should be reserved for massochists.
