Pros: When we arrived the front desk manager was extremely kind and helpful.He seemed genuinely concerned that our stay was a good one. The facility was clean (mostly) and the room was comfortable. Cons: The pool was closed, but I do understand that it was for maintenence... More

Thank you for taking the time and filling out the response. We did call the exterminator on the ants, doesn't seem right in January. I do apologize for the maintenance on the pool, your right in saying it has to be done, unfortunatly there is never a good time. We will get the maintenance man not knocking taken care of.... More

We stopped late at night for a one-night stay - received a terrific price on the room with a call directly to the front desk and a free upgrade to a room with a jacuzzi tub. There is no free breakfast buffet, but a restaurant in the hotel with a good local reputation. We slept in and didn't eat at... More

Thank you for taking the time and writing a review. We do allocate a certain percent of our sales for capital expenditures. The items you described are on our list to be improved in the near future. The parking sometimes gets tight with our restaurant and when we have functions in our convention center. We will look again at ways... More

We stayed at this hotel while on a vacation in Aberdeen. We were in one of their mini suites, since our family is too big for a regular size room. The room itself was pretty nice. The beds were comfortable and we had a lot of space. The pool is very kid friendly. It has a lot of fun stuff... More

I recently stayed 3 nights at this hotel while attending a family wedding. I traveled with my husband, teenage son, and young daughter. Positives: The hotel was very clean. It did appear that the carpet was new in both the hallways and our room, and the room size is large. The room also has queen size beds although they are... More

I want to thank you for taking the time and writing the reveiw. I certainly do apologize for the fuzzy TV channels and the low water pressure. I will get with our maintenance department and get these problems taken care of. In November we will be replacing all of our queen beds with new pillow top beds. Our entire hotel... More

The Ramkota in Aberdeen needs some work. The location is close to Storybook Land, in an otherwise dirty part of the city. The rooms are nice sized, but need updating. The air conditioning is old and could not keep up with cooling. Alot of debris on the carpets under the chair and desk. The bathroom fixtures are old. The televison... More

We have stayed at this hotel numerous times however, with this being the second time that the exact same poor rude customer service and pool issues have happened, I just won't keep my mouth shut, it's unacceptable.

Stayed at this hotel for two nights while visiting Aberdeen. The location is good if you are visiting Storybookland/Land of Oz/Wylie Park, which are just up the road. The hotel was quiet and clean. There did not seem to be a lot of people there at the time. My daughter enjoyed the water park. The hotel's restaurant, Minerva's, was good... More

This property is supposedly one of the better ones in the area. It seems to be an older one that had some updating several years ago. It could use some updating again. The bathroom fixtures were in poor condition. The shower heads apparently were "massage" types but had the plastic parts removed and they were covered in lime build up.... More

Thank you for your input. Since the review was written we have remodeled our pool area into an indoor water play land which is wonderful for young kids. Other improvements we have made include, carpet and vinyl in our first floor hallways, remodeled our lobby bathrooms and recarpeted and vinyled 24 sleeping rooms. More
