“What Did I expect For $50?”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011
5
people found this review helpful

When we booked our 1 night stay, my wife asked me, "How bad could it be?" Well let me tell you it wasn't pretty. The rooms haven't been updated in many, many years.The sink and the shower would have been great if I were 5 foot tall or less, but at 6 feet 2 inches it was a project to shower. When my wife got in the shower she was surprised to find a used, dirty wash cloth apparently left by the previous guest!!!
The bed was comfortable but the antique AC unit sounded like a 747 jet and made it very tough to sleep. There was also a youth football team staying in the hotel and we were greeted by their running around the hotel and parking lot beginning at 6:30 AM. When it was finally time to" get up", you notice I did not say "wake up", we were really looking forward to a hot cup of coffee.We made a cup in our room with the personal coffee maker. Well, I should say we tried to make coffee. The coffee was so old it came out of the bag in clumps. Not to worry I told my wife, just go down to the free breakfast! Without going into any details, here is my advice to you, "Avoid the "breakfast, it was nothing more than a few types of cereal and a waffle maker in a dirty, dreary room!"
We got our coffee on the road and then my wife jokingly said to me, "Now we know what you get for $50 a night!" Yes, not much and we will definitely not be back!

We strive to make every stay an extraordinary experience, and we are very sorry to hear that we did not exceed your expectations. We are aware of the height of the shower heads, this is something we are changing as we are updating the rooms, many have been done already. However in our new Interior Corridor section this is not a problem. I am glad you found our beds to be comfortable, they are brand new pillow top mattresses. The a/c units in all of our rooms are new as well, so I will have someone look into the sound that the a/c in your room was making. As far as the youth football team, I am sorry for any disturbance that their early game may have caused, we did put them in a section all together so the noise would not be an issue for other guest. In regards to the in room coffee, this is delivered on a bi-weekly basis. I am sure the issue was not that the coffee was old. Concerning our breakfast area, we have recently added a flat screen TV to the area, and as far as breakfast choices we offer scrambled eggs with or without sausage, 4 flavors of yogurt, 4 types of cereal, waffles, toast, english muffins, 2 choices of fruit, choice of cake pastries, apple juice, orange juice, tea and freshly brewed regular and decaf coffee. Thank you for your candid review, without such reviews we would not be able to keep improving.

“This place is totally fine for the money but don't expect anything great”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011

people found this review helpful

Very basic hotel room but decent for the pirce. I paid $60 for one night I was in town to go fishing with a friend. The place is well located for fishing in the area and I think that is the real reason to stay here.

The room was relatively clean and perfectly acceptable, just very basic. They offer a free continental breakfast that isn't so great but you can make your own waffles which were actually pretty good.

Room Tip: I think they are all the same

Ramada Bayside needs some updating but the room was comfortable. The front desk staff was very friendly and welcoming. House keeping staff Rebecca was very friendly and ensured we had everything we needed. She did an outstanding job keeping our room clean and comfortable.

Room Tip: Smoking rooms need updating but are still comfortable

“Ruined Wedding and Family Vacation”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2011
3
people found this review helpful

I want to start by saying...my room was clean, and generally just fine. If you pay in cash, and you don't have to talk to ANYONE in the front office, it's fine...however....


I booked my wedding ceremony and reception there, and referred all of my out of town guests to stay there. I met with the owner who quoted me on a price for my wedding, and yet wrote my contract for more. When I stated that was not what I was quoted she walked away, leaving me with the general manager, who told me, I would pay my agreed upon quote and she wasn't worried about the difference. So we went ahead with the arrangement. Over the months leading up to the wedding, It was nearly impossible to get ahold of the manager...the front desk was said to have NEVER given her my messages. A few days before the wedding I was informed that they had fired the bartender and the owner would be filling in for my wedding, assured that it would not be a problem. My wedding was at 6 pm, cocktail hour from 6:30 til 7:30 and the reception started at 7:45. JUST two hours later, the owner shut down the bar, and stopped serving drinks, yet I was told I had the room for the night. One of my guests went to close out her tab, only to find that there were about 10 drinks more then she had ordered. The owner then comes to me at the Bridal table and presents me with a invoice for the difference in venue price that I was told not to worry about along with other charges I had NEVER been informed of. My sister told her we would discuss it in the morning, as we were ALL staying there, and that it was inappropriate for her to come speak to me about this now. The owner then LEFT!!!! COMPLETELY, AND informed the waitress to no longer serve me or my guests! She then charged my sisters credit card for the amount on the invoice because my sister paid for her room and my own, she had her credit card number. No one had approved that. The contract was with me in the first place. My wedding which I spent thousands of dollars on, was ruined. After speaking with the manager the next day, she agreed that we could not be charged for anything not in the contract as well as the difference in the venue quote as discussed before, and would see to it that my sisters charges were reversed...they were not!

About two weeks later, two different guests called and said they had been charged for other rooms at the hotel in addition to their own. They are in the process of disputing these charges.

I'm glad I trusted the most special day of my life to them. That my guests that spent so much money and time have to look back and my wedding like that. I would not ever ever stay there again....I wouldn't walk in the lobby if I was paid. Be careful...they seem sweet...but you cannot trust them!

Thank you for taking the time to write this review, however we disagree with it. We feel that we provided you and your guest with exceptional service and provided you with a great value, in having your ceremony on the water and the reception in our lounge area. We feel that a charge of $250 for this type of event was very nominal, and you reserved the space for the reception until 10pm it is customary to present the final bill 15 minutes before the end of the function. It was a cash bar and the invoice was for the bride and groom's drinks they consumed during the reception. We feel that we handled every aspect of your wedding professionally and thoughtfully. The brother-in-law seemed to agree, as he is the one who paid with his credit card for the remaining balance owed. This is the only complaint we received from any of the wedding party.
