Ramada Inn Fort Wood

We were keeping costs down for my husband's oldest daughter's college graduation, and this place fit our budget. The room had a mini fridge and microwave, which I liked, and felt pretty homey. The beds were a little too soft, but the stay was quite nice for the price. It wasn't that unpleasant, really. The Super 8 would've cost us a lot more.

The staff were great, and the two rooms we booked for my son's graduation were clean, comfortable, and as expected. One bathtub tap wouldn't shut off, even turned as far as it would go, and the tub's discoloration made it seem like this had been going on a while. Still, everyone had hot water for showers, so it wasn't much of a problem. I'd stay again.

There are two restaurants and a gas station/store right next door, which made this a handy stop on our trip. Our room was spacious, with a nice-sized refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker. The Wi-Fi was a little slow, and they're updating the property, but the customer service and management were great. We enjoyed staying here and plan to come back on our next road trip.

The front desk staff were helpful, and the price and location were good. Housekeeping was another story: I asked several times for fresh sheets and never got them. One bed had what looked like blood stains, and the other had little patches of gum. The heater left us either roasting or freezing, the shower leaked and sent bursts of ice-cold water during a warm shower, and there was no bathroom fan, though a sign said the central exhaust ran continuously. Dogs were barking loudly, too. I understand people want to bring pets, but really?
