Roach Motel

The hotel was dirty, offered no amenities. My blanket on my bed had stains. I only seen 3 staff members the entire time I was there. Checking in was a headache and I booked in advance. The manager couldn't find my reservation.

just unsanitary

I checked into my first room to find a tub filled with dirt and urine on the rim of the toilet seat. Moldy looking floors. I was moved to another room. I had to go to the store to purchase lysol bathroom cleaner, gloves, and sponges to clean (where does that happen?) heard 2x of people having another guest come into there room because the the front desk assigned them someone elses room. very scary. very dissatisfied

Felt uncomfortable

Rooms need to be updated. Had to switch rooms because of a plumbing problem, the toilet overflowed. The lady working there gave me towels to clean the mess up. The room i was switched to had sand on the sheets and the comforter smelled bad. When taking a shower the water didnt drain good had to stand in ankle high water. The room was priced fair for what you got. The wifi didnt work good, weak signal. Location was good.

What's in a name?

Ramada is a name that implies more to me than what was here. The staff was pleasant, but the room was bare bones; not a pen or note paper; not a laundry bag; not a soap dish; thin towels; only one available power outlet. The internet access was good, but I thought I was getting better accomodations when I booked.

Racetrack close

We got there early they had a room ready and let us check in--was ask to check the room first to see if everything was suitable--went back and asked to clean the tub again and spray room for musty smell. Went we got back from racetrack everything was done. A good location to track, great price for race weekend and comfortable beds. Need some extra cleaning and repairs, but for the price it was good. A mans get a way motel. Will stay there next race weekend.

A DISASTER

Had to change rooms twice, plaster fell off ceiling, then the next room the door couldn't lock. The room we got was clean but it was old and there were roaches. The hotel needs a major overhaul. The only good thing was the cleaning staff. They were great. The owners were unfriendly and gruff. I will never go back there and would tell anyone not to go there ever.

1 Night to attend concert

We were in town for a concert and wanted a decent place without breaking the bank. This was a decent hotel but they were doing road construction and it took it nearly an hour to get from the road to the entrance to the hotel (appox. 100 yards). They wouldn't let us turn in and made us go miles around to only be blocked on the other side. But I will say that they had the best pillows ever.

Race trip

Clean. Nothing Special. Easy to find. People above us were very noisy. Neighborhood was a little sketchy but overall it was a place to sleep and shower which was our basic need.
