We came to Springfield for a basketball tourament at a local college. We chose to stay at the Ramada Limited due to the convenience of the location in relation to the college.
Big Mistake.
First of all the price the clerk was trying to charge us didnt match the sign that was advertising outside. We had to haggle to get him down to a decent range, which was still more than what was advertised outside.
Second, after we got our room keys we went upstairs where you could choke on the horrible stale smoke smell.
Third, we ordered pizza and the delivery boy went to the wrong room so when we called about the pizza he said that he had our name but there was no one at the front desk to ask what room were we actually in! So it took about 2 hours to get a pizza!
Fourth, we got up the next morning wanting to take a shower and get ready to leave and there was no hot water! This was crazy! but the pool was sure warm last night. My daughter got to swim for 2 minutes before a bunch of thugs took over the pool.
Fifth, they were very stingy with the "free" continental breakfast. I had to ask for a styrofoam cup, waffle mix, syrup, bread, and milk! It was like being at home cooking and cleaning! I had to wet a napkin and clean the table in order for my family to sit down and eat something. I was determined to get something for the money that we spent! I didnt care if it was cereal or waffles, we deserved so much better than we received.
I did not appreciate the way that the clerk acted when I had to ask him to bring things out for us-he acted like he wanted to pass out or something from having to over exert himself. (in his mind) He talked on his cell phone and watched me clean the table off so my family could eat. We noticed the way the clerk kept staring at us while we were eating and I told everyone to smile at him. I think he wanted to intimidate us so that we would leave without eating. I could have cared less. He quit that game when my husband came down to join us.-lol
I will never stay at any Ramada Limited again in my lifetime. This was hell on earth. And we paid cash for this...

Looks new but cheaply built. We stayed here in May of 2004 and were extremely disappointed. The room had two beds with only enough space for one. The mattresses were the old spring kind which sagged and apparently came from a very, very old hotel. Sheets were stained too. The night we stayed a tornado destroyed a town about ten miles away and being in a hotel made of wood siding was frightening.

I searched for quite a long time online for a clean motel where we could relax and just enjoy an evening. We booked two rooms, arrived around 6pm on July 19th, took a lovely swim and went out to a great dinner. The inside pool was a real plus. The rooms were decorated beautiful, and were very, very clean and spacious. The hallsways, lobby and elevator were shiny clean and fresh. The coffee and danish hit the spot. The four of us were very pleased with the friendly people at the desk and the clean ambiance of the entire motel. We will definitely be booking a stay with you again soon!!! Thanks!!
