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.
