Staff is awful
Pros:

Beds were comfortable

Cons:

The overall stay was ok...but upon checking out the next morning we had to deal with the slowest, most unorganized & rude person behind the desk. His name was Frank & i stood there for over 25 min while he checked a guest in. The questions & the nonsense he was asking the guest were unreal. The guest simply asked if he could leave a room key at front desk for his room mate when he arrived & Frank made him not only write the guests name down on the envelope but for some unknown reason he thought it was also important he had the guys number?? Then he had to call someone about it & took another 10 min before finally handing the guys key over. I asked for my cash deposit back & he slowly lifted the tile tray, then put it back, then lifted it again, slowly walked around, then told me he had to call housekeeping to make sure the room was OK (which i understand but why it took 10 min of this going on before he called them) i told him my car has been running this whole time outside & I needed to go) after he hung up, he took his time shuffling around looking for a pen to write out a receipt that I received my money...I said I hadn't received it yet so wont be signing it until I do. After pushing the paper & pen towards me again I repeated myself. He FINALLY handed me my cash & i signed paper & left. I was there over a half hr in total. There was another guest that let me go in front of him which was so nice & he told me he to had been standing there over a half hr just to get a room key. Utterly ridiculous. Also back door to motel was left unlocked all night long. Would never stay here again

Cons:

The clerk messed up my check in so we didn't stay. And based on how they canceled my reservation no show I haven't gotten my refund.

Not remodeled or clean but staff was friendly
Pros:

Thought the Ramada had been newly renovated- it definitely hadn’t - unless maybe accessories. Very few outlets and most unique way to turn on shower - actually needed to request help from the staff.

Cons:

Cleanliness (it wasn’t)
Shower and water pressure

Pros:

I liked the woman who checked us in

Cons:

When I went to check out I was told I had to make an additional payment and wasn’t allowed to check out and leave until I made another payment. I went back and forth with management for 2 hours and I ended up having to make another payment additional payment before I could leave. I missed my appointment due to this which I was very displeased with. I will not stay here again
