Clean, Inexpensive Stay

In all honesty, it wasn't terrible. It was one of the better hotels I've stayed at in Orlando. [...], the check in/out girl, was extremely fast, friendly and always had a smile. The hotel offered breakfast but I missed it most of the time but not due to their scheduling for breakfast but because I had a full day of things to do.The only complaint I had was the housekeeping. I asked a housekeeper on my floor to just put clean towels in my room and she said she would but she never did. Oh well. The location was great for Sea World, Universal Studios, and Wet and Wild. I went for a concert and to spend the weekend with my boyfriend. The room had a microwave and fridge, which is useful if you want to go cheap and buy food at the Publix grocery store or get left overs from eating out.The bed was decent but I've had worse. The room was clean minus finding a few strands of hair in the tub, which a quick wipe with a towel or toilet paper fixed and a baby spider crawling in my sheets. But other than that, I was happy with the room. The Internet was a plus but for speed it seemed to vary on the days I was there.Would I go again? Sure.

Excellent Location for the price

The hotel was nice and clean and the staff polite. Location is just excellent considering its in the center of all the attractiions. Very close to a bunch of medium class and fast food restaurants. Walgreens (for all kinds of stuff) is right round the corner. Rooms were a bit small and not all that clean, but then you get what you pay for..........

Ramada Convention Center I-Drive Orlando

While the hotel location is quite convenient to all the parks, I have to say that is has a severe damp and mold problem. The rooms were clean, but the moldy and damp smell were quite bad! Next time I would definitely opt for something else. I know the weather has a lot to do with it, but I stayed in other hotels in Florida which never had this issue.

An Ok Stay

My husband and I took our honeymoon in FL and went on a Dinsey Cruise and then spent four extra days in FL just sight seeing. The Ramada was in a great location for going to the parks, it was no more than 20 minutes away from any major Park (Dinsey, Universal and Sea World). Once we had checked in to the hotel we found the room very small. I think that our trip would have been better if we had stayed in a different hotel. The door to our room had to be kicked to open and if you did not have the fan or A/C on all the time the room would become very musty. This trip was one of the best trips I have ever taken, although the next time we travel down there we will stay at a different hotel.

good location

Traveled with my daughter. Stayed on the first floor. Did not feel safe. Clerk gave us a key to a room and the prior occupants had NOT checked out yet. Called front desk because someone was knocking at our door late on Saturday night. Asked for security and the women clerk came down instead.

The "trolly" buses run up and down International Drive and stop right in front of the Convention Center; a ride costs just $1.25 (compared with the $12 cab ride I took one night in the rain).
