Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Orlando Resort & Suites Intl Drive

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 20 Apr 2011 rated 1 out of 10.

I'm just going to list all the inconveniences that we had to deal with.<BR> Construction - You had to go through some random plaza parking lot, then a dirt road, then to the back of the hotel to a random room where the lobby was, because they're under construction.<BR> Parking super far away - because of the construction, there is not enough parking close by - maybe 10 or less spaces. You have to find a parking in the plaza next to it and then walk all the way to the back of the hotel. It does not feel safe at night.<BR> Elevator wasn't working - None of the elevators were working. There was one that was semi-working, but you had to call the front office every single time you needed to elevator - then they send one of the elevator workers to come and get you. In addition, they said that they would have them working the next day and that was not the case.<BR> We got stuck in the elevator because someone pulled the power from the elevator since both elevators are connected. When they pulled the power from the other elevator, there was no power on our elevator. We were stuck for more than 10 minutes and my husband almost had a panic attack because he's been stuck in an elevator before. The elevator worker insisted that we pack the elevator because he didn't want to go up again, so there was absolutely no moving space. There were 5 guests, including us two, the elevator worker and the laundry man with his huge cart full of dirty linens. It was the most horrifying thing I've ever experienced at a so called hotel.<BR> We asked to be moved to a lower floor - but the first floor was fully occupied by temporary offices & other rooms due to the construction, so they put us on the second floor. I'm unable to take the stairs because I have severe anemia, so once again, we were forced to take the non-working elevator.<BR> Our view was the construction - This hotel is called 'Lakefront'. They advertise that all rooms have a lakefront view. Not this room. This room had a little bit of lake and lots of the construction. So much that the people from the construction could easily look into our room. It was too much - we could no longer bare these inconveniences, so we asked to either get our money back or be moved to a different hotel.<BR> In addition, the room itself had very old furniture and didn't smell quite good. I had to buy Clorox wipes & Febreze to actually make it smell like a decent place.<BR> Once we asked to be moved, the manager was very nice and didn't even think twice on doing so. They had us moved to the hotel across the street in about two hours.<BR><BR>Basically Do not stay in this hotel until the construction and remodeling is done. You'll regret it.

Positives: The manager was nice.

Negatives: We got stuck in the elevator; had to park in far plaza!

Have recommended it to others, found it to have nice touches that make it a more comfortable place to stay, i.e., real glass instead of plastic insulated thermos coffee pot large room, table and chairs in room as well as desk, and flat screen<BR/>TV most appreciated as we were there for 5 days. However, a card that says if you don't want clean linen place card on bed, if you don't want your towels changed, place back on towel rod.

Positives: No bed bugs, clean, and large room.

Negatives: No way to indicate that

Overall nice hotel, rooms were clean and they do not charge a Resort Fee like other hotels in the area. Pool closed at 10:30 pm but staff did not mind me and my friends sitting by the pool with a few beers until the early hours of the morning! Would consider staying here again.

Positives: Rooms cleaned every day. Fresh sheets/towels etc. Friendly staff.

Negatives: Hotel overshadows the pool from about 10 AM onwards.

I was pleasantly surprised by the appearance of the room. The pillows were plush and the sheets looked new. The room has a beautiful lake view. The quality of the hotel is way above a one star. There were only 2 negatives. The ice machine on our floor was out of ice also, it was annoying to have menus pushed under our door every day (sometimes twice a day). I would definitely stay there again.

Positives: Each room has a beautiful lake view. Location can't be beat.

Negatives: Menus were pushed under our door on a daily basis by restaurant employees.

Good hotel for the money and convenient location with nice view.

Positives: Decent hotel with nice view. Wonderful swimming accommodations.

Negatives: Rooms should be checked prior to check-in to make sure everything is working properly.

Nice hotel. The continental breakfast was nothing to brag about. The room where breakfast is served is very small and get very crowded. Rooms are comfortable and kept clean. Nice view from room.

Positives: Good location if going to Universal or Disney.

Negatives: Entrance to hotel is clustered and hard to see when you first get there.

Hotel is in a convenient location to numerous activities on I-drive in Orlando. Easy access to main thoroughfares in Orlando area making Disney and other attractions easy to get to. Room was light, spacious and clean!

Positives: Convenient location.

Negatives: Breakfast pretty skimpy - no lo crab options.

I was extremely disappointed in the hotel stay on this trip. I travel often and have never stayed at a worse place and paid more for it. The room was not clean; towels had long hairs on each towel. The only thing good was the breakfast bar in the morning. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone I know.

Positives: Breakfast was good, and the day we left.

Negatives: Room was a pit, hair on every towel, icebox stunk, leak in room above original room.

I enjoyed the location of the hotel being close to many attractions nearby. However, the hotel staff gave me a wrong key at the time of check-in which made me walk twice to get to my room, which was painful.

Positives: The hotel location was great and we had a gorgeous view of the lake.

Negatives: There was a spider web inside the room and the sheets were a little torn inside.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 08 Aug 2006 rated 7 out of 10.

I personally think they should change the breakfast to a full course where they have a much larger selection like the Hilton Marriot hotel.

Positives: I loved the view but, you have to pay more.

Negatives: I expected a little more for the money I spent and not just a continental breakfast.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 18 Jul 2006 rated 9 out of 10.

We have stayed at this hotel before and the staff was not as friendly as they have been before. The Concierge did not speak a lot of English and it took about 20 minutes for her to understand that I only needed directions to a restaurant. I was not pleased that there were people barbecuing in the parking lot and hanging out by the elevators.

Positives: Great location.

Negatives: Staff was not as friendly as before.

It was very nice, actually better than I would have expected for a Ramada Inn. Very clean except for a rather large spider web in the corner.

Positives: The view of the lake.

Negatives: No balcony.

The hotel is located very close to Universal. The view was magnificent; however for the money I expected more comfort and space. Oh, the shower is designed for people under 4 feet.

Positives: Great view.

Negatives: Beds and pillows very hard.

Great location. Poor security. Infested with ants and bed bugs. Did not feel safe as a single traveler.

Positives: Close to convention center. Easy to get to.

Negatives: Infested with ants and bed bugs.

Too expensive for what is offered, although the staff were friendly. The breakfast was a catastrophe, the toasters did not work, room was too small for the amount of guests, had to wait in line for each item we needed for breakfast. The bathroom was infested with insects and the sheets were so worn and bad quality that they were transparent with nothing else underneath except the mattress which I did not dare look at.

Positives: Location and view.

Negatives: Cleanliness and breakfast.
