They ask you to check in online to save time but when you get there you still have to go through the whole checkin procedure again. I stay here a few time a year, I won't bother with online check in again

Spring break turned to biggest nightmare

This hotel thought it was fine to make my bed with dirty linen, as it had crustys and I had to call house keeping and the supervisor in who thought that was perfectly acceptable, and just got me a new blanket. Fought with me on giving me more than just 1 towel when we had 4 people in the room. Had 200$ in food spoil due to a power outage (nothing we could control) and couldn’t use any of the amenities or anything that we had paid for. And they offered no compensation or even empathy towards us. Refused to allow us speak to a supervisor or manager. Overall a NIGHTMARE.

RUDE STAFF “GM” Laura very unprofessional.

Me, my gf and her two daughters booked a room for the Ramada tonight. Just now some random dude walked in to our room because the front desk gave the key to someone else and told them our room was theirs. I went down to the front desk and said "it is not cool for you guys to have random people walking into my room when I have two daughters in there, that's not cool at all." A lady came from the back room and said "boo hoo". I asked who that was that gave me that rude comment and what her name was. The lady at the counter said that was the GM. The GM refused to give me her name. They refused to give me any phone number to call of anyone above her. And the other dude working was saying I can leave or he will call the cops. I was not raising my voice at all. I will NEVER come back here. It was Laura the GM. When checking out my girlfriend told the lady (Jorden) at the front desk of the mix up the night before, and the rude comment from the GM and asked what her name was, Jorden refused to answer and when she asked for a phone number for anyone above the GM she was told they didn’t have one. While talking to this lady (Jorden) another lady with her child walked up and said. “Yes I too have the same complaint about the same person.” When posting about this on facebook even passed employees where talking about this “GM” very negatively. Every encounter I had with staff they were negative and rude..

Apparently, school was out and families with people in the party that did not know how to behave, started fighting in the hallways, and I thought it might be better if like minded people were grouped together, rather than putting everyone in the same corridor. We came for quiet, and we had nothing but noise and disruptions the entire stay.
