Pros
* Late check in successful, room was waiting!
* Casino coupon on request - daily
* I cancelled my original reservation ($113/night for 3 nights) and booked through Hotels.com for a better rate $101/night for 3 nights - but I didn't know Ramada/Wyndham do rate price-matching if you find a better rate -10% if you call them. Too bad we didn't know before we arrived.
* 1st floor rooms have exterior doors - you can park right outside.
* Room had a mini bar fridge & microwave
* Bath robe
* Makeup removal cloth... brown...I understand why, but it's colour is a bit off-putting. Disposable would be my recommendation in future.
* Location - next to mall, Safeway, KFC, Venice House Pizza, close to gas, casino etc
* Free wifi but you have to reconnect daily.
* A/C works well
* Ironing board & iron in the room.
* light blocking curtains
* Hair dryer
* My other half really liked the soap bar products and shampoo.
* Continental Breakfast was very diverse, from pancakes, to muffins, bagels, toast, microwave, yogurt, dry cereal, juices, eggs, bacon, fruit...I'm sure I missed something, but great hours if you aren't an early riser! 6am-10am
Cons
* Ammonia? smell in room
* Worn towels
* Cigarette burns on furniture
* Bed worn out - Sleeping with my butt lower than my feet and head is NOT comfort.
* Bed really noisy - definitely not a bowling ball mattress.
* Door to bathroom doesn't close without a forceful shove
* Bathroom curtain shower rod 1/2 hanging. Water runs out of shower because curtain doesn't stay closed - either wasn't hung properly or someone yanked on it-instead of curving out, curved down. Sad shower curtain.
* Tiles in tub not all secured to wall or cracked
* Bathroom countertop sagged/not well secured
* Toilet not secured, clunks when you sit - eek!
* Door to toilet clearance challenging when trying to maneuver around the door and toilet to close it.
* Sink faucet keeps dropping pressure at low so you keep having to nudge it up
* Tub stopper won't stay up for shower
* Thick lint on bathroom vent. Hasn't been cleaned in quite some time.
* No exhaust fan in bathroom
* Creaky/flexing floor. Never had that problem in a main floor room
* Worn fabric on bench seat.
* Cigarette smell in a non- smoking room.
* Hallway cigarette smoking smell/cloud-icky. Not a non-smoking floor.
Nit-picky bits
* Renovated? Not our room. Radiator cover not fastened well to wall
* Crown trim, they tried to do professional run joining 2 pieces w/angle cut, but either the Alex didn't dry before painting, or they didn't use the right product
* Tuck tape repair on exterior mini roof over next door
* Hardly any guests in the hotel on a Sunday night, but they put a smoker next to us who smoked outside our window. Why? Space the guests out.
* Not quite the quality of other Ramada hotels I've stayed in elsewhere
They contacted me by email for feedback, and I will be sharing my observations with them. Not sure I will be returning to this particular location - we might stay right in Waskesiu next time even though it's a bit further to drive in a single day. read more
