Do not believe the other reviews. This was a great hotel and the staff was amazing and friendly. They were so nice and hospitable that we stayed an extra night!! The room was huge and very well kept. The bar/restaurant had an amazing variety of well prepared food!! Again, do not believe the bad reviews. Go there and see for yourself. You will not regret it!!!

The staff was very friendly and the location is great. The room itself was terrible.
The first room we were put in smelled like something had died in it. The A/C did not work. The "fridge" did not work either.
We were moved to another room down the hall. It did not smell. The A/C did not work in this room either. The "fridge" kept our food cold when the housekeeper didn't shut it off.
The hotels brochure state that they have Pillow tip mattresses. They did not in the 2 rooms we were in. It was the HARDEST bed that I have ever tried to sleep on.
The guest rooms were in dire need of a good remodel. The bath room had been updated.

Management response from DirofSales, Director of Sales
(Management representative)
14 Oct 2009
Thank you for your input about your stay. I'm glad we were able to take care of you by switching rooms when you first mentioned the problem. We do try to respond as quickly as possible if a guest complains. We are an older facility that like many other hotels in Chicago and we have a two pipe heating system. That means we have to decide when to switch over to heat when the weather starts changing. Unfortunatly sometimes after we make the change it becomes warm for a few days. We apoligize for that. We are lucky that we have a hotel where you can open your window and let some fresh cooler air in though. Luckily many of our other guests did not have the same experience as you and we hope that you will come back and see for yourself what the other guests experienced. Thank you again for your response.

With the help of the staff we were able to enjoy a great marathon weekend at an affordable rate. The treated all to a 5 a.m. free continental breakfast and allowed us a late checkout after the race. Free parking, fridge and mic in the room at our request, and lots of help at the front desk with directions. (give that Angie a raise!)

We have both been to Chicago several times on business, but never had a chance to really see the city. The staff at the Ramada Inn Lake Shore made the trip easy and pleasant. They were very helpful and answered all of our questions. The hotel itself is clean and neat, with a very nice restaurant and lounge just across the parking lot. The Friday night seafood buffet with a live jazz band was great.

After having to change the location of our Daughter's Wedding Reception four weeks before the wedding with the help of Earl Adams, Director of Sales, he and the staff of Ramada made my Daughter and now Son in Law's wedding a beautiful event. From the Food to the finest details..thank you.
