Stayed one night - allowed to check-in early by the helpful receptionist. Room was at the front of the motel and faced the highway but noise wasn't too much of a problem. One thing I noted was a lack of a fridge in the room. The motel has convention facilities (well used whilst I was there), a restaurant and a... More

Dear Gluhwurm, Thank you for your feedback. I will pass your comments on to the staff. We are adding fridge/microwaves this year. The walking path adjacent to the hotel is very nice at this time of year. Again thank you for your feedback. Rick Murray General Manager More

Having spent a great deal of time in smaller western towns, I have grown to expect a lower range motel as the standard fare. The Ramkota is certainly a step up from my expectations. The hotel is rather large, and driving through the parking lot reveals multiple exterior doors. Some are certainly exterior access to guest rooms, but the purpose... More

Thank you for you comments. We will make sure the outside doors are locked in the evenings.We will put more directional signs in the hallways. I will instruct our front desk to ask guests on the second floor if they need help with luggage upon check-in. We appreciate the compliments concerning our property. Rick Murray General Manager More

The room was cold all night, we had the heat on 78 degrees. When taking a shower, looking up to see the dirtiest shower vent I have ever seen, and that is where you want it to be the cleanest. The room was $135. I have gotten suites at other places that sleep 7 for $99. You need to rethink... More

Midwestern hospitality is abundant in the staff at this property.From the housekeepers to the front desk clerks (Jason) to the restaurant servers one is made to feel welcome and appreciated. The hotel itself is quite large, but old and needs updating. Wireless service was not available in the guest room and no one knew how to assist in getting a... More

The Room was fine, but with the conference center attached, I would assume it is more of a business hotel. The Desk for working was very small, and had no power for laptop and phone charging. A little bigger desk and bringing the power to top of the desk would make it easier to work. It may seem like a... More

Both my husband and I liked this hotel. It is pet friendly, which we needed. And there was a door in the room that led to a parking lot (under construction) in the back. So we didn't have to go through the halls of the hotel in order to take our dog out for a walk. The room was clean... More
