Pros:

Breakfast was good. It was the same items every day though. The heated pool was the best heated pool we've been in. It was actually warm and perfect in the cool mornings and nights

It was fine.
Pros:

The Lobby staff was very nice! The bed comfy. The pond was beautiful the pool area was pretty and obviously cared for. Proximity to freeway was nice.

Cons:

Be prepared - It is old. The bathroom has old style countertops/low toilets. Old carpet smells in hallways. Uneven floors. A gentle comment - 1st impression - ask staff to iron their blouses very wrinkled looks unkempt... ;) For over $400 it was not what I expected. Just expensive for an old room.

I will not be staying at another Ramada ever again, nor would I recommend it.
Pros:

It was close to a gas station and to where I needed to be in the morning.

Cons:

The towels in my room were very dirty with yellow stains, and looked like they hadn't been washed in some time. I did not use the pool or go to breakfast, as I did not trust the cleanliness of the kitchen based on the room. The other guests were extremely loud, partying at the pool and blasting music until the early morning hours. When they finally went inside, they were dropping ice buckets and screaming in the hallway. When I brought it up to the front desk in the morning, all the guy said was, "Well, we get loud here." For the condition of the room and location, no one should be loud there. I woke up for a work event exhausted. I once stayed at a hotel that caught fire, and yet this is the worst experience I have ever had at a hotel.
