Ramada Inn

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 29 Jul 2011 rated 3 out of 10.

This hotel is disgusting. It's completely filthy, stinks, and is dingy and dark. I was extremely disappointed. I would rather have stayed in a motel for the same price or less rather than have stayed here. The exterior and interior are equally uninviting.

Positives: The guy that made the omelets in the restaurant was friendly and the food was decent.

Negatives: It was completely filthy.

Sort of a strange indoor pool area with a strange elevated Chinese pagoda bar type thing. Seemed out of place indoors, in Kearney Nebraska. The hotel is getting old. Walking down the hall to our room upon first arrival I was a little worried but then found the room pleasant inside. The bed was comfortable. Still the hotel is a bit old.

Positives: Cleaning people made it look as nice and clean as they could, given how it's getting old.

Negatives: Really didn't think it was up to the normal 2.5 star level.

This worked well for us as it was just a stop on a longer road trip. They allowed us to stay with our dog and were very accommodating with allowing us to choose our rooms. It was a good value for the price paid. The hot breakfast in the morning was good. In its day, I sure this could have been a destination location, but it needs significant updating to be considered that anymore.

Positives: They took pets and served a hot breakfast.

Negatives: Needs a lot of updating.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 09 Jul 2011 rated 5 out of 10.

Waited for staff to arrive for 10 Min's, so we could check in. Air conditioner did not work, had to move to another room. Stained and disheveled ceiling tiles. Not comparable to other hotels at this level. Rating should be changed so customers are not surprised.

Positives: The beds were clean and pretty comfortable.

Negatives: Waited 10 minutes in lobby before a person arrived to check is in. Air conditioner didn't work. Def not a 2.5 Star, compared to other 2.5 hotels.

This hotel has no elevator and it very old. They are trying but it should only be rated as a one star.

Positives: Staff friendly and good breakfast.

Negatives: No elevator.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 02 Jul 2011 rated 9 out of 10.

Overall, a good value. Decor is dated. Needs to be remodeled to be competitive with new motels. Staff was friendly. Rooms clean.

Positives: Free hot breakfast, quiet room, and convenient location.

Negatives: Can't think of anything.

We were supposed to be next to the pool and we weren't, the hot tub wasn't hot, the customer service at the front desk messed up our accounts and tried to charge me twice for our room and charged it again to someone else's credit card. The courtyard was crammed and not a lot of room to move around and when we were suppose to see the pool out our room all we saw was the back wall to one of the convention rooms and piles of chairs and tables and empty boxes. i will never stay at this hotel again.

Positives: Nothing

Negatives: Our 'poolside' room wasn't poolside, when we looked out our 'poolside room' all we saw was a wall and piles of chairs and tables.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 03 Jun 2011 rated 10 out of 10.

We were extremely impressed with the quality of the hotel that Priceline was able to obtain for us within our price range.

Positives: People friendly - a happy place to be.

Negatives: Couldn't see my car, which was parked in a very secluded place.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 02 May 2011 rated 9 out of 10.

This hotel is great if looking for a late night arrival and needing a place to stop and sleep. Walls were freshly painted, so it appeared that they were in the process of doing some renovations. Free continental breakfast was nice. It had a variety of hot items and cold cereal and fruit.

Positives: Room was clean and bed was comfortable. Bartender was courteous and friendly.

Negatives: Decor was outdated. Paint splatters on carpet.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 21 Apr 2011 rated 8 out of 10.

Great value for the money.

Positives: The beds were great, nice lounge by the pool.

Negatives: The pool was very cold, too cold for us to swim.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 18 Mar 2011 rated 2 out of 10.

We were given a very bad hotel room, no locks, no vent on radiator, curtains torn, room carpet stained,then we requested a different room as we have very young children, 2nd room, clean and had locks but definitely of low /poor quality, bathroom so small had to lean over toilet to shut door. Pool was rundown, but kids had fun in it, again it was clean, Breakfast was fantastic - good hot continental breakfast. I was glad we were only there one night as the room was not comfortable.

Positives: It was quiet.

Negatives: 1st room given was a dump, 2nd was not much better, but clean.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 08 Dec 2010 rated 3 out of 10.

Outdated, not impressive in any way.

Positives: The free breakfast was pretty good.

Negatives: Room was strangely located with a window looking out over the bar & music playing late.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 21 Nov 2010 rated 1 out of 10.

Worse hotel experience ever! Entry doors are not secured.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Old, outdated, is like a maze in finding your room.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 14 Nov 2010 rated 9 out of 10.

However, when I mentioned it to the front desk staff, they moved me to a room across the hall, and it was a lot quieter. Overall, thought it was a nice hotel - clean rooms and comfortable beds.

Positives: Friendly, helpful staff; clean rooms, comfortable beds, quiet rooms across the hall from the pool.

Negatives: Rooms next to pool are noisy.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 04 Jul 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

Great hotel for the Priceline price.

Positives: Great free breakfast.

Negatives: No elevator.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 06 Jun 2010 rated 10 out of 10.

Very close to the highway for easy access, clean rooms in need of a little updating, very friendly staff and amazing pool facility.

Positives: I liked the fun atmosphere.

Negatives: The carpet in the room needed attention.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 17 May 2010 rated 2 out of 10.

This hotel is way past its prime! Staff knew nothing about what was going on. Loud music playing in the pool area on a business night. I asked to be on the outside of the pool area.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: The staff had no idea what they were doing.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 22 Apr 2010 rated 6 out of 10.

They didn't tell us the easy way to get to our room, couldn't find our room for a long time, the front desk wasn't helpful at this.

Positives: The food was good, excellent chef, comes to the table and ask

Negatives: They had prom night when we arrived it was a mess for a while trying to get in the parking lot.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 01 Feb 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

The Hotel is ok. I would not say it is great, as mentioned above, the rooms are a little outdated. The first thing we noticed was the mildew smell. The room looked like it was partied in too many times. ( I used to live near the hotel and know that it hosted several graduation parties) Other than these cons, the hotel is at a great location, has a pretty decent bar, they gave us a free drink and free breakfast..Could be better but could be a lot worse!

Positives: Has a great "tropical" bar. Close to restaurants.

Negatives: Rooms could use some remodeling. Outdated.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 21 Nov 2009 rated 9 out of 10.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again if we could get it at a good price. It was great for what we paid. Wonderful pool area, but the decor was outdated and needed a face lift.

Positives: I loved the pool, pool area and balcony overlooking the pool.

Negatives: Was nice, but definitely past it's prime, could use refreshing.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 25 Oct 2009 rated 1 out of 10.

This was by far the worst hotel experience we have ever had. The dirty wrinkled carpets to the very cold water in the swimming pool, the smell of the hotel, it was a complete waste of money to stay here, I really was disappointed that this hotel was called a Ramada Inn, it should change it's name because it doesn't measure up to my expectations of what a Ramada Inn hotel should be.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Everything.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 13 Aug 2009 rated 6 out of 10.

The room was nice although the shower head in the bathroom was very short. I am 5'7" and I felt like I had to do a back bend. My husband is 6'2" so imagine how he felt. the ice machine and hot tub area had mildew everywhere. The bed was comfortable.

Positives: The bed was comfortable and the hot breakfast was nice.

Negatives: The ice machine was mildewed, the hot tub area was mildewed.

Convenient location off of I-80. Great staff & good free breakfast.

Positives: Friendly staff, free full breakfast, nice tv, easy check-in/check-out.

Negatives: Uncomfortable bed.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 21 Jun 2009 rated 3 out of 10.

The hotel itself was great! I had to be up early everyday and with loud music and people screaming from the bar, I was not able to fall asleep before the bar closed each night. This made it anything but relaxing for my stay.

Positives: Friendly staff, great restaurant, clean room.

Negatives: Room location- business travelers should not be placed by bar and pool.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 01 May 2009 rated 1 out of 10.

I would never stay here again! The walls were so thin that I could hear everything, people peeing, people laughing, people getting drunk at the hotel bar! At one point someone tried to get into our room cause the hotel either had double booked it or someone was drunk, but my family was scared. The hot water in the sink did not work either! And there was a terrible smell in the hallways, maybe a drunk person from the night before had gotten sick, not sure.

Positives: The lobby was great looking!

Negatives: Our room was directly outside of the in-hotel bar and people were drunk and loud! We couldn't go to sleep until the bar closed!

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 07 Feb 2009 rated 8 out of 10.

My stay was quite nice. In Kearney for business for a few days, the Ramada was within 1/4 mile of my conference. The staff was excellent, the complimentary breakfasts were good, and the lounges (2 to pick from) were a needed break at the end of the day.

Positives: Location, lounge, and staff.

Negatives: Phone system room unfortunately got flooded & the phones were out.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 26 Jan 2009 rated 7 out of 10.

Though the hotel is showing its age, it was very clean, and the breakfast choices were adequate. Best of all, the pool was very warm. The hot tub is in a separate room, which was nice, though some people might miss it. Hotel desk staff was efficient, if not particularly friendly. I did miss any type of security system on outside doors- all of them are wide open to the public 24/7.

Positives: The pool was very, very warm! Wonderful!

Negatives: It's showing its age- worn carpets coming up in places, I missed security on entrances.

Good location, confusing architecture. Hard to find our room.

Positives: Good location.

Negatives: The bathroom toilet did not flush.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 11 Aug 2008 rated 2 out of 10.

When we arrived they put us up in a room adjacent to an audio convention which vibrated the windows continuously. The original receptionist put us in the wrong room which we didn't discover until they tried to make us move on the third day. Their hot breakfast was anything but hot and not well maintained. The stairwells smelled of mold and had unsecured access. The room had a cricket in it. The AC was extremely noisy. On a good note the bed was comfortable and clean.

Positives: Flat screen TV.

Negatives: The stairwells, hallways stunk of mold.

Nice staff, easy to get to off the interstate.

Positives: Clean, convenient location, loved the pillows & comforter.

Negatives: Breakfast was a big disappointment. Nothing left at 8:00 am and only one person was working in this area.

This was a very beautiful hotel and the comfort of the bed was wonderful. Nice big Jacuzzi.

Positives: The bed was beautiful and so comfortable.

Negatives: The smell in the hallways.

We had a great time at the Ramanda in Kearney. It's clean, the staff is nice and there is plenty to do, across the street only 2 blocks away, there is indoor black light golfing, bowling ect. At the Green Apple. We are already planning our next trip to the same Ramada!

Positives: The lagoon pool and oversized Jacuzzi were excellent.

Negatives: N/A.

I have stayed in cleaner motels in inner city Chicago. This place is disgusting.

Positives: Didn't smell as bad as you'd expect.

Negatives: Bring lots of antibacterial hand soap. And a mask. And gloves.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 27 Nov 2007 rated 5 out of 10.

Might be nice after remodeling.

Positives: Hotel was old but it looked under renovation.

Negatives: New pool was nice.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 20 Sep 2007 rated 7 out of 10.

Bed was adequate. Would have liked to have a microwave and small fridge in room. It was a pool view room, but was not a good experience due to construction going on in that area.

Positives: Wireless internet , friendly staff.

Negatives: Room could have been cleaner. Hallway and stairs could have been cleaner.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 19 Sep 2007 rated 1 out of 10.

The hotel is not advertised correctly. When we got there the putt was not complete, and the pool was not heated. The pool side room we had was not really enjoyable due to the band playing that Friday and all we heard until 12:30 a.m. was a loud thumping in my room. Kids woke up next day grumpy due to noise. I will not stay at this hotel again.

Positives: The breakfast buffet.

Negatives: We were in poolside room and heard the lounge band all night.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 03 Jun 2007 rated 9 out of 10.

Great hotel with excellent friendly service. Unbeatable rates for the quality of the hotel!

Positives: Pool/hot tub/arcade/golf - great place for travelers with children.

Negatives: Odor in outside stair area leading from 1st to 2nd floor.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 18 Dec 2006 rated 2 out of 10.

Other than the fact that my car was broken into and the manager did nothing to help I guess okay.

Positives: It was clean and the rooms were nice.

Negatives: My car got broken in to! And all the staff did was tell me that I could have a "late check out of 12:30pm.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 14 Aug 2006 rated 10 out of 10.

Very convenient to Interstate. Lots of restaurants nearby. Friendly staff. Clean rooms.

Positives: Easy to check in.

Negatives: Hard to figure out room numbering system.
