“Amazing Customer Service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 21, 2012

It is true that this hotel is undergoing renovation but don't let that keep you from considering a stay here. Renovations often consume large amounts of resources, personnel and time. During Hurricane Sandy, this became even more complicated. However, the managers at Ramada Plaza, the front desk employees and the cafe crew remained upbeat and aimed to please. The hotel was recently purchased by Ramada/Wyndham and they are obviously making significant strides in updates but what really makes this hotel desirable is that it is clean and has great customer service. This hotel gets 5 stars for customer service. They will do everything they can to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

Room Tip: Just ask for a room that is currently not on a floor they are working on.

“Just your average Joe!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

Arrived late at the hotel because of a canceled flight. The staff was friendly and the bar was still open at 1AM with late last call of 3. Nice, but not the bill. Must be a Jersey thing or an airport thing, but hey, most have corporate expense accounts so no worries for them. Buffet breakfast was very good, I was really impressed with it. As for room, it didn't seem that bad for me, no glaring dirtiness and shower and bathroom were quite nice. You could tell the room was dated, but since the hallways were being remodeled on several floors (as discussed with fellow stranded passengers) then it appears they will be renewing them. I've certainly stayed at better places for the price, but I guess it depends on location. If the price isn't raised after the remodeling, it will be decent value.

Thank you for your reveiw of the Ramada Plaza.

I respect your opinion, but your review could not be further from factual. While our hotel rooms are older and in the process of being renovated and refreshed, they are clean. Every guest room that is sold is inspected, if it does not meet our guest ready approval it does not get sold. Yes, our rooms are older and look antiquated, that is why I am being so aggressive on the long overdue renovations, however my cleanliness policy is strict as is my maintenance program.
I am sorry the Ramada brand is not for you. Unfotunately, as much as we try, we are not for everyone.
