We stayed at this hotel several years ago and when returning to Rochester we decided to go back, mainly because our 9 year-old daughter would enjoy the pool/waterslide. While the pool area is nice for families with children, we found the maintenance and service to be lacking. The carpet was dirty when we arrived, didn't even look thoroughly vacuumed. The... more

We patronized the Ramada two years ago but never should have returned. If we had not paid in advance we would have left shortly after we arrived. We will not return. One of the other commenters hits the nail on the head by describing the dank smell of the room. The hotel is in major need of an update. The... more

Having to go to the Mayo clinic during the summer, the Ramada has the most wonderful combination of easy access to the clinic, with free shuttle, AND it has the indoor pool, water slide, arcade area, and a wading pool with fountains for toddlers. When I have to make the 4 1/2 hour trip with the kids, they never complain,... more

We stayed at this hotel with a youth sports team for two nights. It was busy at the hotel (birthday parties, wedding reception, class reunion and at least two teams staying there) but never seemed crowded. The pool area was the perfect place for kids to play and adults to mingle, and our suite was huge and comfortable for two... more

Unfortunately this hotel is nothing like the website makes it look. While the lobby was clean I can't say the same about the rooms. The room was dark and musty and very small. Our bathroom door wouldn't even close all the way and there was a brown substance in the sink drain. The only reason I chose this hotel was... more

There were a couple wedding receptions held there when I stayed so I am not sure if the problems we encountered were due to their difficulty in handling large groups or not. Many in our party could not check in until 3-4 hours after check in time due to the rooms not being cleaned. Some were offered a discount on... more

We experienced some issues in our first room including key pad and phone didn't work. The hotel was very accomodating and moved us to another room at a reduced rate. The second room was dirty; someone had sprayed pop all over the curtains and the wall leaving behind a sticky substance, bugs in the bathroom and my white socks were... more

2/2 found this review helpful

Overall this hotel was great! It was very clean and the staff was helpful and courteous. The shuttle drivers were mostly nice but seemed irritated much of the time.The pool was great! It is big enough so that the kids don't get bored but small enough that no matter where you sit, you can see them. There was staff on... more

This is my second review of this hotel. Last year we stayed here and had a terrible experience. We decided to give this hotel a second chance because our children asked if they could stay at the hotel with the big slide. The kids being at a hotel that they like is important us. It helps keep their minds off... more
