Ramada Inn

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 31 May 2011 rated 7 out of 10.

Overall, the Ramada Limited is a good hotel to stay in. Somewhat friendly staff, and the room accommodations we're quaint. Although for some reason, they charged $0.50 for printing out my boarding pass (they did not do this consistently) - so be alert on their discretionary procedures.

Positives: Location to Richmond.

Negatives: charged $0.50 for printing boarding pass.

I would NEVER recommend or stay in this hotel again! Shuttle driver left us at the airport 6pm, we phoned hotel and front desk said to take a cab (which a portion came out of our own pocket)they only rembursed up to $14. the front desk told us the shuttle driver does this often and many people are often upset & complaining, not even an appology from driver, and left earlier in the am than what we were told he would, us and our small children were not allowed to eat breakfast that morning, most people on the shuttle were talking about being rushed, a lady on the shuttle with us gave our kids one apple to share which I thanked her for. Very disappointing visit.

Positives: Closeness to the airport, great greek restaurant beside the hotel.

Negatives: Shuttle driver drove past us at airport & refused to pick us up, told to cab it, .driver rushed breakfast & couldn't eat, drive argumentative, people upset

If the floors weren't so dirty I would rate it quite good. But all I saw were the dirty rugs. I couldn't get past them.

Positives: It was near the Airport. Good shuttle service.

Negatives: It was very dirty. Someone should clean the rugs!

We liked most everything about this hotel. Good value for the money. Very nice breakfast included. Good location near park and walkable to public trans. Shuttle to/from airport is a plus.

Positives: The desk clerk was very helpful and courteous in giving directions around the city.

Negatives: The front entry needed cleaning and tidiness.

The hotel suited our requirements. The bedding was comfortable, the linens good. The room didn't smell totally fresh due to old carpet.

Positives: Comfortable, good continental breakfast, close proximity to airport.

Negatives: Carpets need replacing.

The staff at this hotel was very friendly and courteous. The complimentary continental breakfast exceeded our expectations in that they served fresh cooked waffles when we were there. We understand that on certain days, they serve scrambled eggs instead. The breakfast is even served by a staff member. She was very friendly and eager to help. The location of the hotel is easy to find and in a safe area of town. Lots of restaurants near by. The park out back was very nice.

Positives: The complimentary continental breakfast exceeded expectations.

Negatives: Not enough underground parking.

It was comfortable, great for short stays, but wouldn't want to stay longer. Not an appealing lobby, all corridors & carpeting in dark colors. Needs to be brightened up. Staff was friendly & a good continental breakfast.

Positives: Comfortable bed & Jacuzzi tub.

Negatives: Lobby & hallways dreary, need painting, dirty windows.

A great place to stop if in Vancouver. A great park behind the hotel is free and beautiful.

Positives: The room was clean and the bed was super, breakfast was great.

Negatives: Nothing.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 02 Jan 2008 rated 5 out of 10.

It's a bed for the night. That's all we were looking for, but I wouldn't recommend it as a pleasure destination.

Positives: It had a king-size bed.

Negatives: Its shuttle stopped running well before our plane arrived, necessitating an expensive cab ride.

The hotel served its purpose of being in close proximity to Vancouver airport. It was clean and comfortable.

Positives: Only 10 minutes from airport.

Negatives: Water was not hot enough to shower.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 06 Sep 2007 rated 3 out of 10.

They don't really care about the cleanliness, like outside of the balcony is so horrible, their beds are too small not really comfortable. Their janitors do not provide good services, like when you ask for help they are not willing to do.

Positives: Convenient location, closed to airport and city center.

Negatives: Room not clean, the equipment in rest room is broken not replaced.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 31 Aug 2007 rated 7 out of 10.

Small but user friendly, helpful front desk but need more vacuum to the carpet especially corner area, area near beds.

Positives: Small enough to have home feel and user friendly.

Negatives: No laundry and only 1 online computer and no one help in luggage.

We needed a hotel that was close to the Vancouver airport, not a long drive to the ferry terminal and included continental breakfast. This hotel suited all of that. We were only there for a short overnight stay so did not use any of the surrounding area other than the friendly pub across the street for a cold beer after a late night check-in. It worked well for our purposes and we would stay there again when traveling to Vancouver Island.

Positives: Convenient to airport and BC ferry.

Negatives: Small room.

Ramada chain is on its way down. It used to be reliable at one point, but now compares to a motel 6. This hotel was really run down. Rooms smelled dusty. Our king size bed had a twin size head board. Doors and paint was chipped. Did not feel safe in hotel. Will not stay at a Ramada hotel ever again. This experience and a previous one sealed the deal.

Positives: Close to airport.

Negatives: Smells dirty, old looking, abandoned.

This was a convenient stopover for the night after picking up our young adult son at Vancouver airport, on our way to whistler for a ski trip. Very convenient, underground secured parking (free), and the hotel was clean and the staff was friendly. Not fancy, but we would stay there again. Free continental breakfast is also a plus. Half the cost of the sandman, where we usually stay.

Positives: Location, near airport and within walking distance to major shopping mall.

Negatives: Had to "sign up" with credit card to get phone service, even for local calls.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 16 Feb 2007 rated 9 out of 10.

This is a good, clean hotel providing basic services and comfortable, clean rooms. The showers were particularly nice with great shower heads and lots of water pressure. This is a good hotel for short stays for business travel or layovers at the airport.

Positives: I enjoyed the friendliness of the front desk staff. They were very helpful and had great attitudes.

Negatives: There isn't much around the hotel to do if you're there for a few days.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 08 Jan 2007 rated 6 out of 10.

This hotel was a fine, cheap hotel near the airport. If you're catching an early flight and just want a place to sleep, it's perfectly adequate.

Positives: The hotel was centrally located near the airport.

Negatives: The beds were not that comfortable.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 03 Dec 2006 rated 9 out of 10.

We book our room blindly online, and were very pleased with our room. We requested a non-smoking room with a balcony. It was very quaint, the staff was great. The parking was a bit tight, but overall, our hotel experience was great. We will definitely stay there again if we get back to the Vancouver area.

Positives: Clean, quiet. We really had a great stay there.

Negatives: Parking was limited. Wasn't able to connect to internet, but we were there long enough to be online anyway.

The rooms were somewhat cramped, but clean. The staff was very helpful and pleasant. The location was exactly what we wanted. Close to YVR, stores and restaurants.

Positives: Location was great and so was the staff.

Negatives: The rooms were somewhat cramped.
