Good for the price

It was an okay place. There was some hair in the shower, but overall it was okay for the money and area. The pool was right next to the highway so that kind of stunk!

Nice Stay for The Price

I was in town for a conference and wanted to save my expense money for other items. This hotel offered a reasonable rate in the right area. The location is great close to attractions, shopping, interstate, etc... The staff was very friendly. Check-in went quickly. About 10 minutes after arriving in my room I received a phone call from the front desk asking if everything in my room was OK and if I needed anything. The room was clean and furnished with what you would expect of a hotel in this category and price range. One of the main amenities I was looking for was wifi internet service which was provided. Connecting to the service was simple. The speed was good and I had no issues with connectivity. The breakfast area is a little small even with the available outside seating. Maneuvering around to get your food and find a place to sit was sometimes a challenge. A decent variety of breads and cereals, along with waffles, eggs and sausage were available. It was crowded and some guests were less than polite but not the hotel's fault. Overall a good stay. This is not a 5 star hotel but you aren't paying 5 star rates. It is clean, comfortable, in a nice area, and a friendly staff.

Birthday Getaway

Hotel amenities was fine, except we were told WIFI was available when it wasn't. Could not utilize the pool due to cleanliness. Hospitality staff forgot to replenish wash towels. There were bugs in window seal and A/C unit. Complementary breakfast was a plus. All in all , an average visit for amount paid.

My review of Ramada Convention Center I-Drive Orlando

I was very dissatisfied that when I was entering and exiting my room, it was very disconcerning that the extended stay folks in the room next door to me were using the tree outside our door as a clothes line to hang dry their clothes. I would have thought this would have been brought to the attention of these folsk and your management would not have allowed it to continue. Also, when I tried to get to the food at the continental breakfast, all the tables were blocking the isle and it was more of an obstacle course that a pleasant place to start your day with your breakfast. This needs to be a more spacious seating and buffet arrangement.

hotel staf was very friendly and helpful

Ramada hotel is for people who want to save some money and get not bad service. My family and I spent all day time visiting many parks in Orlando. We just slept over in hotel and did not need superservices. The only bad thing was air condition with noise.

Limited stay

We were only at the Ramada Int'l Drive for one night. Overall it was okay. The room air conditioner is in the wall rather than central air which is very noisy. There was a kids tour group there at the time which added chaos at breakfast and trying to check out. Some of the people in the group were kind of rude-but that is not the hotel's fault.

It needs to be rehabbed

The Ramada Convention Center was pretty on the outside and not so pretty on the inside. It had a funky smell in the room. When I went to bed I had the a/c unit on and in the middle of the night it sounded like a belt was off. It continuously made a screeching noise so I turned it off for the duration of the night. This was a one star hotel, would not stay there again, and would not reccomend it.

safe hotel - good value

I was satisfied overall with the Ramada. Room was ok - nothing special, but it was clean. Actually, we could smell the cleaner that was used in the room, which was a bit annoying at first but i got used to it. Not really any extras at this hotel - no shuttle to the parks. They did, however, allow us free access to the ymca so we were able to use the inside pool and gym. People at the front desk were friendly. Location was convenient and in a better section of town. I felt relatively safe at this hotel.
