Ramada Limited

The hotel itself was great but the checking in was a nightmare because of the parking situation. We arrived in Bismarck after a 17 hr drive, and tried to find parking in the lot that would accommodate our 14 foot U-haul. We drove around the hotel hoping that there would be free space around the back, only to find a dead end in the parking lot, so we had to back up our big truck, all the way through the lot, and I went in to ask where we were to park our truck. The girl at the reception was very nice, but told us to park it in the grassy area across from the hotel, so I told my daughter to park it there, and she tried but the weight of the big truck was causing it to sink in the mud, so after much aggravation, she backed it out, leaving a trail of mud all over the parking lot. We tried to park in other stalls, but the truck was too long and stuck out too far, so again I went in to ask the girl where else I could park. She kept insisting on the grassy area, and at that point, out of sheer frustration and exhaustion, my daughter angrily went back in to the hotel and told her to cancel our reservation and we would go to a hotel that had space for trucks. All hotels should have reserved spaces for large trucks, as it is not unusual for U-haul trucks to travel across the country, requiring parking spaces at hotels. I have been at other hotels that had space for such vehicles.

Positives: The bed was the most comfortable hotel bed I have ever slept in.

Negatives: No parking for u-haul trucks!

The staff was courteous and knowledgeable. The motel and all amenities were clean and functional and the Ramada chain is environmentally conscious by mentioning (in text form) to hang and re-use bath towels, although it is not mandated.

Positives: Clean, logistically convenient, vending machines were all operable and fairly priced, continental breakfast was on time and well prepared.

Negatives: Nothing comes to mind.

Overall, it was an enjoyable stay at the Ramada. I would recommend to family and friends when traveling in that area.

Everything was satisfactory except the cleanliness. The bottom of the bathtub was not clean at all. I gave my 1 year old showers instead of baths because the bottom of the tub was black and the adjustable shower head had black gunk under the dial. Also the bedspreads have an odor they need to be cleaned.

Positives: I liked the spacious rooms.

Negatives: The bathroom was not clean will not stay again.
