The Bad

Extended stay option
Limitations
International management

Ramada is a member of the Wyndham Worldwide conglomerate. That means there are lots of benefits, but a few weaknesses that carry over. Ramada cannot offer the unique experience other hotels may be able to, so it isn't the place to stay if you are looking for a unique experience. There are a few other weakness that deserve to be part of the conversation.

There is no extended stay option for customers that are looking to spend a little more time than usually.
Certain options are only available in countries outside of the US and Canada. This is no fun for people who don't spend much time traveling outside of the US and Canada.
International locations outside of the US and Canada are owned and operated by Marriott International this ruins some of the uniformity created through the Wyndham Rewards program.

The Bottom Line

Ramada offers a lot to its customers, and those customers can be economically diverse. Offering options from low-budget to up-scale helps Ramada cover all the bases. Customers can expect quality at each tier of the Ramada Worldwide offering. The same quality carries over into international markets. The offerings are not the same internationally, so some of the uniformity domestically doesn't carryover. A couple of things to note in summation:

Ramada is part of the Wyndham Worldwide conglomerate, so customers have access to much more than Ramada. This is great news for the Wyndham Rewards members.
Typical amenities include everything you need to have a comfortable stay flat TVs, pools, exercise rooms, and free wi-fi. Certain tiers offer free breakfast, and others have restaurants in the hotel.
There are lots of options, but if you are looking for an extended stay option you will need to look elsewhere.

I am staying at the Ramada Plaza & Conference Center in Louisville, Kentucky. This hotel is unacceptable. The entrance way from the side parking lot is filthy. EVERYTIME I come in or out it is propped open. That is a huge safety concern. When it is shut the lock is only engaged at the top and the bottom of the door still opens part way at the bottom. It definitely does not seem very secure. The elevator is not working. I am traveling with 2 children, one is a baby. It was difficult getting all our stuff and the baby up the FILTHY staircase. I went looking for the elevator and came across a bloody mattress propped up down one of the hallways. I was very upset and called up see about getting out of this hotel. I am booked for 3 days. I asked if I could just pay for one night and leave. I was told that I would still pay for all 3 nights. I gave my debit card at check in before I realized how sketchy this hotel is. I used to trust the name Ramada - NO MORE! I will be coming to Louisville twice next summer for basketball tournaments. I assure you that I will not be staying here!

Their customer service is terrible. Booked jacuzzi room for anniversary and the jacuzzi didn't even have knobs, they were broken off and it didn't work. I was told to call manager following day by front desk, when I did he told me I should've called maintenance. Anniversary ruined, money wasted.

My room smelled of sewage coming through the sink. Only accessible room available. I was offered fragrance spray but no discount on the price of my stay.

My family stayed at a Ramada this past fall and it was disgusting. It didn't feel like the hotel had ever been updated. It felt dirty, dark and we will not stay there again.

We stayed at a Ramada Inn this past fall and the hotel was run down, rooms didn't feel clean and were outdated. The staff at the front desk were courteous and helpful but the hotel itself felt gross.
