Ramada Milwaukee Downtown

Needs updating

Fordele: The bed and pillows were comfortable enough and thankfully looked clean. Front desk staff were friendly. Parking is free, but in an unsecured lot behind the hotel.

Ulemper: This hotel has not been kept up. It's in poor shape - lots of things that need to be repaired/replaced, fixtures partially off the wall. It also needs to be deep cleaned - some things, like the light switch, were so dirty that I didn't want to touch them. There was a huge gap under the door, which is both unsafe and bad for noise. Not worth what they charge. I would not stay there again.

Good staff, TERRIBLE facilities

Fordele: Friendly staff was the ONLY bright spot, everything else was terrible. Per the previous reviews, I was expecting a rude staff, but the reality was that the staff is friendly. It's the facilities that are terrible and any hotel would/should be ashamed of (ESPECIALLY being situated downtown).

Ulemper: - 1 of 2 elevators functions ("functions" used loosely) - walls, ceilings and carpets are old and stained - room furniture was cheap and archaic - A/C did not work, hot air vented at all settings (room was unbearably hot) - bathtub drain was clogged and water did not drain - plain and simple, if the rest of the rooms are like the one my wife and I stayed in, the entire hotel NEEDS to be revamped/remodeled - based on this stay we will not be staying at a Ramada again

100 degrees, no warm water

Fordele: The lady at the front desk was nice but that's about it

Ulemper: Our room, and multiple friends in other rooms, was 100 degrees and there was no air conditioning. No warm water, water had a yellow tint to it, one elevator worked.

Fordele: The free parking.

Ulemper: The heating and ac were terrible. Could not control either. The room was so hot. Could not open a window. The TV was old and not hi-def. Very noisy all night in the halls with people holding parties outside their rooms.

Rundown

Fordele: Right next to Amtrak

Ulemper: Air conditioning wasn't working, terrible for the late summer. Elevators weren't working correctly either.
