We booked this room on Priceline using the "make an offer" feature for a 2-star hotel. This is not a 2-star hotel in my opinion. When we arrived, we were given a room on the second floor that was already being occupied. So we went back to the front desk and there were no other rooms available in that part of the hotel. (The "Front Desk" is in a separate buiding beside the hotel and not in the lobby of the actual hotel. You literally have to go OUTSIDE to get to the "front desk".) We were then moved to the "lakefront view" MOTEL part of the hotel. This hotel doubles as a motel with two separate buildings - one hotel building and one motel building. We walked across the parking lot to the MOTEL and our keys did NOT work. Our room was on the second floor so we had to carry our luggage up a flight of steps. So back to the front desk we went...AGAIN. Finally, 30 minutes after arriving @ 3:00 a.m., we got into a room. The carpet needed vacuumed and there was hair in the shower. The bedspreads were dirty and the blankets underneath the bedspreads were extremely old with holes in them. The remote to the TV did not work. The beds were stiff & extremely uncomfortable. The room is very drafty & the heater had to be run full blast to keep warm. I ran out of hot water in the shower and had to finish showering with cold water. If you are a female, shave your legs before you go because there isn't enough hot water to shower & shave. The cleaning staff were walking into other people's room after knocking but not getting an answer from the occupants, probably because they were sleeping. VERY DISTURBING!!! I had asked for a King bed/smoking room and got two DOUBLE beds in a nonsmoking room. The front desk clerk even argued that I did NOT request a king bed, which I did as witnessed by my husband who heard the entire conversation. The clerk arguing with me was actually the person I spoke to the night before we arrived when I called requesting the king bed/smoking room.
The "hotel" building that we were originally supposed to stay in smelled horrible!!! This place is VERY worn, very old, and needs A LOT of work. Renovations will not help....it should be torn down & rebuilt.
If you cannot afford to stay at a nicer place than the Ramada Limited, cancel your trip!!! This hotel isn't worth $5.00 a night and certainly not worth the $184.44 that I paid to stay there.
