Ramada Inn

My son and his baseball team had reservations here while participating in a tournament. I booked a room at the same hotel and arrived a day after they did. I asked my son how the rooms were and he replied, «let’s just say that I wouldn’t have chosen this place.»
I’d have to agree. The room I was given was a non-​smoking room but it wreaked of cigarette smoke. I called the front desk and they were swift to move me into the room next door. It was better, but as the saying goes, «you get what you pay for.»
The room was clean, however, i found socks from a previous visitor behind the dresser and a coffee cup. There seemed to be minute spots of what appeared to be blood near the tissue dispenser. I haven’t seen any cockroaches and I hope I don’t see one for the rest of my stay. I will be here for three nights.
The staff was polite and courteous.
Would I come back? No. I’ll spend a few extra bucks and stay at a nicer hotel next time.

**BEWARE** This place is horrible! Very dirty and smelly! The sheets/​blankets were stained and looked like they were 20 years old. The front desk person was nice enough to switch us out to a room next door but even that was the same quality. We were very disappointed but since we couldn’t get our money back we had to stay there and make the best of it. Luckily, target was near by so we ended up buying our own sheet sets and put them on the beds to make sleeping in the room more bearable. There were gnats/​bugs flying around the room, the bathrooms smelled of mildew and the carpets looked like they have never been cleaned. There are nicer hotels near by and I’m very surprised they haven’t done any type of updating to keep up with competition.

No. Just no. The building is aged, the rooms are aged and DIRTY. The bathroom floors and shower had black hair all over it. and it never got completely cleaned up even after asking twice. We were left without towels twice. Our keys quit working after the 2^nd night. The towels and sheets were stained from makeup or pen?! We stayed 4 days! There’s wifi, but I couldn’t get it working on the laptop, just our phones.
The location is the only thing this place has going for it. The mall is across the street and lots and lots of dining options are very close.
Overall…gross.

Here’s the short review: I’ve stayed in Tijuana hotels for $ 30.00 a night that offered better quality/​service than this place.
Here’s the details: We arrived around 4:00 p.m. only to be told our room wasn’t ready due to the fact that the staff who cleans the rooms were all «out». After a six hour road trip (from California), the kids were already restless… and then they were informed it would be an hour until our room was ready.
After the hour long wait, we finally got our key cards and walked to our room. Upon opening the front door, we noticed that the beds were unmade, towels were on the floor, and there was garbage in the cans… the room hadn’t been cleaned. «Just give us another ten minutes» was what the front desk stated. It took the worker almost and entire hour to get to the room and clean it.
So we’ve all unloaded the SUV and begun unpacking: tooth brushes by the sink, clothes in the drawers, stuffed animals on the beds, etc. It’s bath time for my little one and we find out that our shower and bath are broken; there’s absolutely no way to get hot water and little water pressure. I call the front desk only to be told that they had no other rooms, as they were completely booked (great, others share my misery at least).
We decide to fill the bath tub up with warm water from the sink using the ice bucket provided but had to stuff some socks into the tub drain because that wasn’t working either. As my daughter just starts splashing in the tub, we get the call that a room opened up, upstairs. Great…
In the «new» room, our sink doesn’t work right (It sprays «spits» of water at you while you try to wash your hands). It also has a musty smell and the lamps which are affixed to the wall are practically falling off.
Only since I’m on a rant: the continental breakfast they serve was basically a few stale bagels and toast, cereal for the kids and coffee. They did put out orange juice, which tasted like pure concentrate. They also put out apples, which was probably the best choice.
This is the first time in my history of Unilocaling that I wish I could give a few NEGATIVE stars.

Front desk staff is exceptional. Low rating is due to the fact the rooms do NOT measure up to the pictures on the website.

I have stayed at many motels, but this Ramada Inn is a disaster. $ 55 per night seems fair until you enter the room, look around and stay a night or two. The carpeting is loosely placed on the floor, bathtub is stained from black algae or dirt, towels are worn out and no one seems to care. The attitude is essentially, if you don’t like it leave. This motel needs an infusion of money to clean this up. Actually, this motel is reminiscent of a crime-​drama show where the police are investigating a recent homicide or vagabonds that have been placed here by the parole board until a more luxurious place could be found. I cannot believe the parent/​holding company is blind to this property. It must have got in under the radar. Anyways, stay at your own peril.

As far as a 1 or 2 star hotel goes this one Is acceptable
I normally stay with way nice motels but when in a bind this place will work
Ugly but clean
No amenities
Except for Fridge and microwave in every room
$ 65 bucks a night
Great location
No bugs that I’ve seen
If you need a cheap safe room in the area this will work
Also very very close to unlimited shopping
and restaurants
