Ramada Vineland Millville Area

This was the worst stay I’ve ever had at a hotel. I say this as a person who 1.) has very reasonable, non-​demanding expectations of hotels and 2.) have been to at least a dozen or so hotels of all price ranges, both local and far.
My significant other and I stayed at the Vineland Ramada for a one night mini getaway. We booked the hotel about a week ahead of time online. When we got to the hotel there were immediately slight difficulties with the internet being down and the front desk not being able to accept my SO’s card. Fortunately as we had booked online we were still able to check in. The front desk lady was quite nice, so we shrugged everything off.
When we got to the rooms we were pretty pleased – it was a very typical room for a hotel of this price, and was properly clean. Soon enough our opinion soured, though – we’d assumed that the internet in the front desk was going to be down for a short time, but instead the wifi was down for our entire stay. In addition, perhaps due to the same reason that the internet was down, the TV was very glitchy. The actual TV worked, but the cable would sometimes not allow the channel to be changed, or the channel would turn off all together. It was unusable for hours at a time.
Thankfully we had a cellphone with the ability to hotspot, so we used that for wifi and just used the TV when it did work. We enjoyed each other’s company, went out for a bit, and went to bed at 1 AM.
Then…At 5 AM I woke up to loud giggling and rustling sounds on the door. I was then horrified as A STRANGER, a woman, opened our door. The woman was clearly not a worker. When we made eye contact is when I realized that I wasn’t dreaming and I sat up and gasped loudly. The woman apologized and left. She and what sounded like one other woman (who I did not see) then giggled and ran down the hotel hallway to loudly.
I can only assume that she had been out drinking and had accidentally gone to the wrong room… Which is fine. Mistakes happen. What isn’t fine is that her key somehow worked on our room. What should have happened is that she would have tried the door, been locked out, realized her mistake, and left. I am amazed that her key allowed access to our room.
Despite only getting four hours of sleep I was now wide awake as I have anxiety disorder and was scared that someone less friendly would enter our room. I called the front desk and they apologized, but there really wasn’t much else they could do. I was just very happy that I was properly clothed for the incident and that the person who walked in was not someone worse. We could have had either an embarrassing or scary incident but were lucky.
We tried to fall back asleep, but I couldn’t. Around 7am I’d calmed down enough and we decided to go get our complimentary breakfast as a pick me up. Breakfast was a small bit of a hassle – they did not have us on their list of hotel guests at the little bar and grill they served breakfast in, but it was dealt with quickly enough. The breakfast, to be fair, was delicious, if served a bit oddly (instead of a buffet you order from a small menu.)
We then went back to the room… and found that we had been locked out. So at this point, as far as we knew a strange woman had access to our room and we did not. We walked back to the front desk (which, when you’re half asleep and full is much more of a hassle than usual.) Despite our anger we were still polite. The lady at the front said that our room had been cancelled for some reason. Thankfully she was the person who had checked us in, so things got sorted relatively quickly.
When we checked out we asked to see the manager. The front desk told us that we would get a call from the manager on Tuesday. Tuesday came and went. We’ve since called the Ramada three times to ask the manager and he is either never there or too busy. Calling the national Ramada number just has us forwarded to the unhelpful Vineland Ramada number. And no, we have not received any sort of refund. I would NEVER stay at the Ramada again.

Yuck! Checked into our room to find food on the floor and a funny smell. We asked for a new room and were moved next door. No food on the floor but the funny smell persisted. Bring fabrese!
My wife just reminded me that the absolutely worst hotel she’s ever been in was the Ramada Inn near JFK airport. I think the head executives at the Ramada Inn need to tighten up their franchise. It looks like they’ve got more than a few bad eggs that are hurting the chains reputation. I, for one, will never go to another Ramada Inn.

I just couldn’t allow myself to give this place a third star. Main reason is that of all the matters amid my stay, there was nothing really terrific.
The place is clean enough but you can definitely see age here. The carpets for one, the aroma of age that starts to permeate hotels that have not had a facelift in a long time. I will say that the bed and bathroom were clean (that’s a biggie).
The people are just ok. I had a wake-​up call, which I never got. When I broached the matter at the desk, I got excuses but never «I am sorry». Generally they are amiable enough but by no means overly friendly or happy.
Sunday buffet (I got there 20 mins after they opened) was palatable. The pancakes if hot would have been good. The eggs were rubbery and the sausages were swimming in grease. The bacon was not terrible and forget the french toast. For a quick eat and run, its ok but for a good meal, head on down the road.
If all you need is an overnight with a clean bed (that is all I needed), this place will fit the bill. For anything more, I would look around at the competitors.

Bartenders (female) are AWFUL. Please train them to learn customer service!!! I like to dine in the bar (booths) or in the dining room. Everything you order is good and fresh. Sushi is very good and you get plenty. The service at the bar is enough to not go here with friends for a drink after work or any time they work the bar. Plenty of other places that want my money and take it without a scowl!

My husband and I enjoyed our overnight here on 9÷28÷12. Hotel staff very accommodating. We loved that the hotel contained Dakota Prime restaurant on premises as well as a pub with bar food. (See also my review of Dakota Prime.) After dinner there, we walked two feet next door to Harry’s Pub and ordered another round of drinks, sat at bar and watched live trio (guitar/​bass/​singer) perform with perfect pitch and volume; not too loud. Later, we walked upstairs to our room. Talk about convenience! The next morning, we discovered yet another restaurant toward back for breakfast. Our room was quiet, clean. Décor was a bit dated. Love that you can open room’s windows partially for fresh air or to hear the sound of rain. We had view of inner-​quad courtyard and small outdoor pool. Bed was suitable comfort, but I felt and saw there was no mattress pad under bottom sheet. The bathroom vanity was small, too, but good water pressure for showers. We loved the hotel’s ground-​mounted solar array out back and overall green attitude. Breakfast was good but different arrangement than what we’re used to: Instead of buffet, serve-​yourself style, you’re seated by hostess, given menu and server takes order. You’re entitled to choose only from specific menu items (hot or cold), with beverage, as comp with your stay; you pay extra for anything else. (Bring a few dollars to tip your server.) Our lodgings cost $ 102 + $ 15.25 tax for the night.

I have two words to describe this place: big dump.
Not only was I not impressed with the ‘newly remodeled’ atmosphere, I was seriously disappointed with the way the hotel, as a whole, smelled and looked. The halls had a/​c units strapped to the ceiling so every few feet or so we’d get a blast of cold air, a pocket of heat, a blast of cold air, a pocket of heat (you get my point). The halls were dimly lit and there was very little signage if any at all leading us to exits or stairways. On top of everything else, being part of a group of people who have 8 month old twins, packing lightly isn’t really an option and apparently taking an elevator to the second floor at the Ramada isn’t either (there were none).
The hotel is like an endless maze with an overall feeling that scenes from ‘The Shining’ could happen at any moment. My brother, sister-​in-​law, myself and the babies had to switch rooms because the funk of mildew and day old cigarette butts was a bit too overwhelming. The beds had no fitted sheets on them, rather a sheet draped over a mattress pad and a few dirty pillows thrown on top for good measure. Lastly, when I went to take a shower, thankfully, I run the water for a few seconds before jumping in, otherwise, I would have had a nice rusty shower to end my night at the Ramada.
If it hadn’t been for the fact that we had just driven 5 hours from CT and it was almost midnight, we would have almost rather slept in the truck or even the trailer attached to the truck; this place was that bad. The next night, we moved to the Wingate directly next door for fab rooms and a good nights sleep.
Don’t even think about staying here, but if you find it’s your only option, the ‘free’ breakfast in the morning isn’t worth it either’ You’re better off going down the road to dunkin donuts.

You can’t beat it for the price and the value that you get at the Ramada in Vineland. We were very happy with the cleanliness of the room. It was comfortable and spacious. Complimentary breakfast for two in the café the next morning was great. I wished we had a diner close to home that can produce simple no none sense breakfast like they did. The hotel must have renovated since the previous reviewer. The room and the public areas looked fine to me. In fact the smell is more of fresh paint.
It’s not the Hilton or the Marriott but for what we paid ($ 80) it’s an excellent value. The room was held for us till mid-​night without a credit card and free breakfast! It’s not for business travelers on expense account but on the other hand it’s Vineland what other five star choices do you have? You can go to Philadelphia for the top hotels but at the end of the day we just wanted a place to sleep and eat a meal. There is a decent looking bar there as well if you wanted to unwind and watch sports and have a drink. The restaurant is a fusion of steak and Japanese. We didn’t go to the bar or the restaurant. Just the Café for breakfast which we would highly recommend.

I had my wedding ceremony and reception here and I would NOT reccomend this place to anyone! For the money you pay the food and service is not worth it! The food is more like cafeteria food. They served my guest chicken with bones and skin on it, hard rolls, bland pasta, and pies you had to cut yourself with a can of whip cream. They tried to short my reception an hour. I booked my wedding a whole year in advance and didn’t hear one word from anyone until a week before my wedding when I had to contact them. I booked the suite a month in advance for the bridal party to get ready in and the event coordinator called me a week before my wedding and told me I could not have the room due to a manager staying in the suite. Once I argued with them they gave me two complimentary standard rooms which was still tight to have 8 girls in, but we made the best of it. The wait service and bar was horrible. They ran out of wine for an hour and then ran out of wine glasses and were giving people wine in cocktail glasses. My appetizers ran out and then they started to put out chicken wings which I did not order. I fI wanted bland greasy chicken wings I would have went to a bar, NOT A WEDDING! They never even called me afterward to see how everything went, not even a congrats! NOTHING NADA! Please DO NOT have a wedding here! You are better off going somewhere else and spending more money! If it weren’t for our great DJ Bob Morgan Entertainment our wedding would have completely sucked! Bob Morgan Entertainment made it a party!!! RAMADA GETS A BIG THUMBS DOWN! Lack of communication, organization, and a big FAT X for cooking skills! The story goes on to the point where it just gets too much to type, if have any further questions… hit me up!

I was booked at the Ramada by my new Secretary who didn’t listen to my direction of «Book me a Hilton or Marriott chain, if they’re not available check ICH». She thought it was better to save a couple bucks and booked me at the Ramada.
I checked in and went to my room. Upon entering I noticed the unmistakable mildew smell over powering the dimly lit room. The carpets were dirty and the room was in rough shape. I turned around and walked right back out. I canceled my reservation and drove 2 hours home instead of spending the night there.
If you’re a trucker looking for a quick place to crash inexpensively the Ramada’s a decent option. If you’re a business traveler who’s used to quality hotels go somewhere else.

This review should be somewhere between an «A-​Okay» and «I’m a Fan», as this location is not only a Restaurant, but also a Café and a «regular» Ramada Inn. First off, the hotel is so-​so. Rooms are starting to show their age, but decent enough for a one or two night stay. I didn’t try the pool or the exercise room.
Then there’s the restaurant and bar area. Usually crowded at night, so I’m assuming that it’s decent — sorry haven’t had the pleasure yet.
And, lastly, is the hidden gem of the review — the Café (located at the far left of the building, if you’re right in front of it). If you’re looking for a stick-​to-​your ribs breakfast or lunch, nothing fancy mind you, without a huge crowd to contend with, THIS is your place!
I usually get the blueberry pancakes (probably the most «exotic» thing on the menu), and they are always well done. The pastry is decent, as well. The wait staff is always pleasant, and the coffee is usually fresh.
