“Great service in a pinch”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 11, 2013

Desperate to get out of our cold house after losing power in the blizzard, we started calling around numerous hotels in the area - we have a dog and two small kids so it was tough to find a hotel that would accommodate all of us on short notice...... many hotels wouldn't pick up the phone, some were downright rude when we finally got someone on the line.....

Enter Eric at the front desk and the staff at the Ramada - he bent over backwards to find us a room for the night - and the hotel even gave a 15% discount for locals affected by the storm. They also waved the extra pet fee.

As a hotel - it's average, and fairly good value for the money - so 3 stars there -

But the front desk service rates 5 stars all the way......Thanks to Eric and the staff there for making our snowy evening a stress free relaxing experience.....

“Worst Experience! Stay away!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed January 19, 2013

We stayed at The Ramada in Groton because you expect higher standards from Ramada, boy were we wrong! One reason chose this hotel ( and paid a little more because of it) was the fact that they had a pool and our son loves to swim and it is also a great to wind down after a busy day of sightseeing. We were irate at the condition that the pool was in. It had a oily reside over the entire surface. It was also so cloudy that you could barely see the bottom of the pool. It was quite frankly one of the nastiest pools I have ever seen! We did not even dare set foot in it for fear of what we possibly could contract from the cesspool. The hot tub was just as nasty. It was so full of chlorine, that just standing next to it made your eyes sting. It too was filled with disgusting water, so we skipped that as well.
The room was not well kept and was dirty. Dust all over, dirt on the floor, stains on the sheets, hair in the shower and very dated.
I would avoid this hotel like the plague!
