Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms had a strong smoke odor, even though they were designated as nonsmoking, making the stay unpleasant. The service was fairly okay, although it lacked some warmth. The location, despite some drawbacks like the smell of cigarettes and presence of beggars, offered easy access to shopping and food outlets. The dining experience was subpar, with limited breakfast options. However, the facilities were satisfactory overall.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the room was nice, clean, and quiet, the size was a bit small. Unfortunately, there was a noticeable smell of cigarette and urine, and I wasn't allowed to have a microwave in my room. The service was friendly, but the property felt too small for a Ramada. The location was convenient, with easy access to transportation, but the neighborhood seemed a bit dodgy. The dining options were satisfactory but could have been more varied. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
I found the hotel to be a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and comfy, but noise from the street and lobby late at night was a nuisance. The service was hit or miss - while some staff members were very helpful and polite, others were rude and inattentive. The location was convenient for commuting to Manhattan and JFK, but the lack of breakfast was a downside. The dining options were average, and the facilities were decent overall.
