We paid $59.00 for a room with (2) queen beds. The room was
truly, truly crowded, no bigger than a college dorm room. One entire wall was covered with a mirror to make the room appear larger - instead it made the room a bit creepy. While we stayed on the side away from the Interstate, there was still a constant hum of traffic. The traffic, cramped quarters, and scratchy sheets made me grateful our stay was for only a night. Note that the pool is only three feet deep and the breakfast consisted of sugary cereal, sugary donuts, three apples, bagels and a toaster. Don't make it an extended stay if you don't have to.

We called for a reservation while on the road in Southern Illinois, and the clerk was helpful, although a bit confusing as to the room choices. We wanted a suite with high speed Internet, and my wife eventually sorted that out to be about $78.

When we got to the hotel, at check in, the clerk said "you have room 209... oh, wait, that's not clean, okay, room 210." After unpacking, we couldn't find the Ethernet port, and an inquiry of the desk resulted in the acknowledgement that this room didn't have high speed Internet.

In the next room, fortunately we hadn't unpacked before our daughter realized that the pull out sofa bed was broken and couldn't be used. The flustered clerk finally put us in a regular double room, with Internet. She got the price knocked down to $40 because of the difference in rooms and the hassle of moving three times.

Breakfast buffet was passable. There weren't enough towels in the room, but we were able to get more at the front desk (which we visited more often than most hotels we're at for a week!)

Overall, a decent place to spend one night, although the numerous problems may be a cause for concern. I've never been overly happy with the Ramada chain, this is yet another example of why.

First of all, the employees were very nice and the hotel over all was great. But the manager has instated his own policy that if you stay for more than one night you do not get any maid service! I can understand not getting the sheets changed but according to his policy they don't even enter the room. NO fresh towles, NO making of the bed, they don't even empty the trash!! Can you believe that?

I thought the front desk was joking when they told me about this policy.

The policy is: If you stay consective nights, you get maid service every other day.

Come on - at least take my smelly trash (from leftover dinner) out of my room!!

I contacted the Corporate Ramada Inn office about his policy and they are filling an offical complaint.

Good hotel, very good prices. Excellent breakfast. Loved the waffles. The kids loved the pool. It's quite large. I have recommended this hotel to lots of people.
