Good location for the convention center

I needed a loction near the Convention center,this location was very good. Not right on top, but not far away either. The free breakfast was okay, but not so good that we ate it more than the one time out of a 5 day stay. Having been to several conventions in the O.C.C. and having stayed in the area many times before this was a good experience with no problems and the staff was very nice. I did like the free internet because we needed to check weather reports and get driving directions several times so this helped very much. The refrigarator in the room was a big help too.

Mediocre

Excellent staff! Pretty nice breakfast. Rooms need some work though. It was tough to beat the price for what you received. If all you need is a place to lay your head this is OK. I wouldn't have wanted children along.

Really good location

The hotel offers what you paid for: good location, clean rooms, continental breakfast and that's it. I mean, everything is in good condition but there is no "wow".

Fantastic staff

Nice location but it was noisy and room was extremely small. There was also something wrong with my AC, it kept clicking all night. Restless sleep. The lady that checked me in was extremely nice and friendly.

OK for just sleeping

The tv reception was not good. Remodeling was not very good. Was ok for just a place to land my head at night. Was very close to lots of dining places.

Great Value. Great Location.

The location of this hotel was fantastic and the price was right. We were in town for a wedding that was being held right up the street at a more expensive hotel. It was great not to have to pay to stay at the more expensive place, but be able to get to the reception with little expense (we paid $1.25 and took the I-Ride). There were many restaurants and stores within walking distance and the I-Ride Trolley was great and uncomplicated for getting around. The staff was friendly. The breakfast was free, and there were computers and a printer for guests to use, which came in handy. The problems I had were that the room smelled a little musty and the toilet took a couple of flushes to empty. I didn't rent a car so I had to use the Mears Shuttle service to get back and forth to the airport and to Disney. It wasn't too expensive, but I did have to leave at 2:35 a.m. to catch a 6:00 a.m. flight.

OK room for decent price

Free breakfast was pretty good. Use of free internet in lobby was good feature. Lots of extra pillows in room=nice. Quiet...did not hear any other guests' doors slamming, TVs, etc. Building is quite run down however & needs a facelift, but kept pretty clean.

My Stay at Ramada

actually, the room was clean. it was the moldy smell when it rained and there was a lot of moisture in the air. maybe it was in the bedding. new bedding should take care of this problem in all rooms that have that moldy smell when it rains. it wasn't really, really, bad, but i could still smell it.
