I found the hotel location very out of date and expensive to play ancient games, which was disappointing. On the bright side, the spot is cute and just off 70, although I felt like sleeping under a bridge would have been nicer. The service was friendly but lacked alertness, while the dining options were not too great either. The rooms, although located in a center courtyard, were clean at first glance until you noticed the small details, like the missing door knob, which was a letdown.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room seemed nice at first glance, clean but outdated with some outdated amenities, and the prices for games were quite high. Despite some drawbacks, the service was impressive with super nice and accommodating staff, although they no longer operate as the Ramada. The location wasn't the best, lacking proper stocking and feeling outdated, but it still had some positive points. The dining was average, nothing special, but the facilities were decent overall.

The hotel had some cleanliness issues in the rooms, like a moldy bathroom, but the overall smell was pleasant initially. The rate was reasonable, but it felt a bit like a neglected bar restroom. The service was a bit inconsistent, with helpful gestures like providing a crib but also encountering rude desk staff. The location seemed outdated and expensive, and the courtyard was uninviting. Dining was surprisingly good, with tasty free options like focaccia bread. Overall, the facilities were just adequate, with room for improvement.

The hotel had rooms with no windows that led to a large, dark, open, and musty meeting room. Despite looking clean at first, details revealed issues in each room. The proximity to the pool where kids played until late could be disruptive.

The hotel's location in Hays, KS, for the Kansas Special Olympics state finals was fantastic. The fun water slide for the kids added to the appeal, but the area seemed a bit sketchy. The breakfast with freshly prepared eggs was a standout, but the dining experience could have been better stocked. The rooms were tolerable with a few exceptions and the service, although mixed, didn't fully meet expectations. The facilities needed improvement across the board.
