We spent 3 nights at this hotel in June 09. The rooms were spatious and clean, but are not well isolated. You could hear people running and talking loudly in the hall at night. The hotel area is not optimal, but it's a central location to do all your excursions by car. Complimentary breakfast. Staff was friendly, except for the... more

I booked this 3-day stay on the phone (local number). At that time I explained that I was paying for two days and I would have a voucher from Kaiser for one day. The reservation person said that would be no problem and I was given a room rate for the stay. When I checked in, I reminded the person... more

I too am a reviewer who is puzzled at the bad reviews that this place has received. The hotel was more than just 'adequate' for us and unless they have done major renovations and fix ups just before we arrived, I would say the others are just super picky? The location is great for catching a Red Line subway, which,... more

I liked my stay at this hotel. I arrived by car for my 5 night LA stay and appreciated the 24 hour guarded parking lot where there always was lots of free space. My main interests were in Hollywood Boulevard area and on 2 days I did not need to use any car: the excellent Red Line subway took me... more

Location was ok, we drove to Universal Studios and it was about 10mins away. We walked to Walk of Fame but it was a long way, needed to get a bus back which was easy enough. Room was clean and of a good size, had a fridge too which was great. Breakfast was nice and plentiful but the menu never... more

The hotel does have 3 elevators and periodically we have to shut one down for routine monthly maintenance or to polish the marble floors inside. For those...

We stayed at the Ramada for 1 night at the end of March 09, I paid aprox £55 per room so didn't expect to much! We were pleasantly surprised when entering the reception looked like a very nice hotel. The rooms were small compared to a standard room in the USA but fine for a brit! The rooms had a... more

I booked this hotel for 5 nights as a get-away for my daughter's spring break. I should have left after the 1st night, but I thought things would surely improve. Like it was a fluke that things were so wrong right from the start.... First of all, there's a ramp to drive up when you check in. Only 2 cars... more

A little run down but rooms were quite spacious. Average service, average continental breakfast. Didn't really like the location - not within walking distance of any nice shops or restaurants! We hired a car (a service that the hotel provides) which is a must in LA - unless you don't mind spending lots of money on cabs!! The hotel is... more

I was so surprised at how georgeous and spacious the room was. I was vacationing with my fifteen year old son and the best thing was we could get to all kinds of tourist places and AVOID the traffic. The place was very clean and the continental breakfast included belgian waffles cereal eggs and sausage and bagels and pastry. This... more
