We spent three nights over Xmas at the Ramada which is best described as an interesting experience.
Things started poorly. Post confirming arrival at midday, we got put back to 245pm - and upon check in we were informed we somehow had booked two rooms instead of one. Odd…. Thanks to the staff who sorted the issue.
Post this start, things definitely improved. Our room did not have a view, it did face east over the neighbouring buildings, but it was a blessing in the afternoon out of the sun. The large balcony was excellent.
The room was well maintained and did include air conditioning. One large room and one was pretty small but okay.
The location was awesome being close to Scarborough beach and amenities - massive plus to be honest. Security parking and visitor parking was on offer as well.
For a busy location it was pretty quiet and late checkout was great as well.
On the negative;
- the haunted elevator was odd - expect a long wait
- no streaming on the TV but you can pay for movies?? Seriously outdated behaviour.
- bathroom shampoo, hand wash etc in a security container?? Tight arse behaviour and not enough to use for a family of 4
Ultimately, weighing everything up, the place was middle of the road. Good and bad.
I read a lot of reviews on here and they are way way too critical for mind.
Big thank you to the staff as well. Absolute great people who were always smiling and tried to help where necessary.

The hotel was very generous with an early check in before 2pm but then it was all downhill
The parking bays are narrow and not suited for big cars
We were promised and booked 4 spots they only gave us 3 so one car had to find a spot in the street
I waited 30 minutes for bath towels to be delivered to my room and had to recall to remind them
When delivered they were beach towels and only 3 of them as they said there was a linen problem
The room was a 2 bedroom apartment with according to the booking a king sized bed it might have been a double and very hard
There was no air conditioning in our room so they had an old free standing fan which is poor
No smart tv and you had only normal commercial tv channels
Overall a very poorly organised hotel
It looked great but do not book thereo

If you are travelling with a family, think twice before booking here. We booked an ocean view room and instead got a building balcony view to the complex surrounding us. We requested 2 bathrooms to only get one. The place was filthy, bugs in the fridge, blood on the pillows and in an unsafe location for kids (two blocks from the beach). We had booked for a week and checked out after the first night.
