Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The bathroom shower and toilet had definitely not been cleaned. The breakfast was pitiful, the milk was sour, the waffle tasted weird, and that was basically all there was except for toast. Just a really weird vibe there as well. The main sign had obviously just been scrubbed out (maybe Ramada dropped them?). Would not recommend although it is dirt cheap!
