I arrived at the hotel frazzled and desperate, needing a safe place to stay until I could find a suitable home to rent. I had to leave my home for safety reasons and arrived with two little ones in tow. Having been an at-home Mom for 18 years, no one in town would give me a short-term rental without a copy of a pay check stub or court-ordered support. I found an affordable, comfortable safe-haven with the friendly staff at the Ramada.
The accomodations are spacious and clean. There are so many choices of different types of rooms, but we enjoyed the king & twin sleeper combo with microwave and sink. The breakfast is very good. There is always a choice of eggs and meat, fresh fruit juices, hot and cold cereals, fresh fruit, bagels & cream cheese, yogurt, toast, and surprises like muffins, donuts, rice crispie treats or breakfast bars. There is a Safeway and Trader Joe's nearby with several delicious microwaveable options for lunch/dinner if you're watching your budget.
The security cameras, multiple door looks, computerized entry cards and extra locks on the windows helped me feel safe, and the staff was absolutely amazing. They were very vigilant about preserving my privacy.
The internet connection was more than adequate. A few times, I apprieciated the comfortable lounge and public seating areas for business meetings and socializing outside of our room. A big plus for us families with children: the aquatic center is directly across the street, as is one of the largest soccer field complexes in California.
Within a few days, the staff knew us by name and cared for us as if we were family. They welcomed us with excitement each morning. They comforted and encouraged me through my grief and we rejoiced together when blessings came my way. I will always remember them with gratitude for how they helped me heal and learn to trust again.
The quiet and the view made it a very peaceful experience for us. I found the management team very open to comments. Any concerns were taken care of very promptly, usually beyond my expectations. I hesitate to single anyone out, because everyone from the manager, to the head of housekeeping, to the nightwatch, was so warm.
Bravo. Brava. I wish you ALL the very best.
