• No idea.
• A lady who worked in the breakfast room was very stubborn.

“We came in breakfast room, the door was already kept opened, she ask us to show the room key, then she say something about the door, we return to the door to find out what wrong, but we couldn't find what she need. At last we understood that she ordered us to close the door for her, we apologized that we couldn't understand because her pronunciation was not corrected.”

• Very nice hotel! Clean and quiet.
• The hotel is not in a prime location. I felt safe my entire stay although the surrounding areas are not the best.

“This was a very nice hotel. It was much nicer than I expected. I would stay there again and I would also recommend it to a friend. I lived in Hollywood most of my life so I know the area very well. The surrounding areas are not the best areas. However, they do have a security guard in the parking lot, and you do need a room key to enter the building from any of the side entrances.”

• Good bathroom decor with very adequate accessories such as hair dryer and coffee and tea. The shower was excellent.
• Though there was a table the room was missing a desk and light for use with a laptop.

“The hotel was located in the old part of Hollywood. Rooms opened out on to the swimming pool and decks with bougainvillea plants and umbrella tables/chairs. Staff were helpful and pleasant. There was a good continental breakfast with plenty of choices. An evening bar and restaurant was not available.”

• Staff, location, pool, hotel bar.
• Rooms could use a little talk. Scuff marks on wall.

“I just returned from a very nice hotel. I did not smell any mold. The rooms were large. Separate bath area from sink area. Free computer in lobby to check email! Be sure to visit coyotes bar, show room key and get 2nd drink free. Owner made sure everyone had fun! Good breakfast (free) with one hot item. Staff very friend and helpful. Although 2 miles from Hollywood beach, convenient bus service from young circle except on Sundays. Much hustle in the blocks around hotel. In 5 days no one asked me for money on the street. Very safe well lit area.”

• Only the location.

“The first room that they gave me I walked in and the stench of mold was prevalent. When the iron did not work that was enough for me to request another room which they provided. The new room was acceptable. The hotel needs updating. I went to use the fitness room and I noticed the ceiling was falling apart and the air conditioning did not work. Half the day the power was out and the elevator did not work.”

• Free paper.
• Fitness center old and barely usable.

“The fitness center was not listed on the room amenities sheet. I didn't find out about it until 2 days into my stay and then the machine was so old it hardly functioned. Plus I don't like to pay extra for parking. It should be included with the stay.”

• The attitude of front desk lady when I checked in.

“The hotel location is very convenient, but the attitude of some staff members lower deeply my expectations. I stayed in the hotel because I did not have another choice. I was traveling with 28 other people, and the checking experience was embarrassing.”

• Desk clerk/parking attendent was rude, no ice on floors

“This Ramada is apparently privately owned which is why it is not up to the same standards of the others I have stayed in. Customer service was below standard, elevator smelled of strong urine, there was no ice available on any of the floors. Paid parking was not noted on hotel website, so was unaware I had to pay to park. Overall service/hospitality was poor.”

• Great location, cheap parking garage
• It didnt seem that thre room was cleaned before we checked in- since it had hairs in the bathroom, used towels, etc.. very dirty...

“Nice personnel, great location downtown Hollywood, very cheap parking garage- these are the advantages! But at the same time you can notice- that the hotel hasnt been renovated in a long time.. smelled very old and even dirty.. The room we checked in wasnt clean, since it had hair in the bathroom floor and toilet bowl, a dirty, already used towel was forgotten by somebody on the curtain rail in the bathroom, we even found a hair on the tea cup- so we were really disgusted to use it..But the the whole atmosphere of Florida helped us a lot not to be focused on those things and just enjoy our stay..However I think there are some things to be renovated and cleaned, freshened up!”

• Walking distance to Old Hollywood
• Water leaks and puddles in filthy garage and its stairwells

“If it wasn't for the location in the booming renovated downtown strolling area, it would be a one star. The restaurant served seven of us the worst meals we've had in years. Even if we were once again trapped inside by torrential rains, we'd choose the vending machines.”

• filthy

“This hotel was not clean at all. Our sheets had to be changed because 1 bed had blood on the pillowcases...the other had makeup on the pillowcases and on the sheets. The front desk did not offer to bring up new sheets but wanted us to go get them! The room also had a funky smell. All public areas looked unclean. If the room had not been prepaid, I feel we would have had more leverage.”

• Great location in an area of restaurants, clubs, and shops. Plenty of outdoor music at night!
• The walls are a little thin and don't afford much sound barrier for noisy neighbors.

“The Ramada Plaza Hotel in Hollywood was a real treat. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the rooms comfortable. The lobby is very attractive, as is the outdoor pool area. The hotel is in a terrific location for people who want to walk around outside. There are a few blocks in the immediate area of energy-filled hot spots, which were quite lively on Saturday night, but quiet most of Sunday (the length of our stay). The beach is nice - only about 2 miles from the hotel and easy to find. Plenty of shops and restaurants there as well.”

• the location is great
• Ramada should be embarrassed by the filth and smell

“This hotel was filthy. I am not joking when I said that the our room smelled like urine. The phone was sticky and dirty, the door had dirty smudged all over it, the ironing board had brown stains and stuff all over it, it was ridiculous. I took pictures to send to Ramada. The hotel looks like it was a swinging place 30 years ago, but now, it is a hole....As a business owner, I would be embarrassed if I owned this place. It seemed like everything had something wrong with it.”

• It has a nice outdoor patio, pool, and bar, but we didn't get a chance to enjoy them.
• The lobby was very noisy difficult to get into and out of with luggage.

“The hotel was in a convenient location located about 10 minutes south of the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood airport. The room was clean, but the lighting left something to be desired. There are no light switches in the main part of the room - only lamps to be turned on by hand. I would not recommend asking the hotel to arrange transportation for you as their service is expensive and not very complimentary of other transportation services with which we had a much better experience.”

And will tell people of this hotel and where it is so no other poor sap stays there. The clerk at check in should be learn manners didn't even tell us where the room was or how to get there. ”

Room was not clean, ants and cobwebs and dust.
pool was not heated, no jacuzzi, had to pay to park in the hotel garage, mind you that was the only place to park or on the street with a parkin meter or in public parking 1/2 mile away.
Signed, very disappointed!”

“This Ramada is badly in need of renovation. Housekeeping was poor. Has to argue about bill where there was $24 charge for local calls (same area code) but I erroneously used 1 before area code. In that area 10 digit calling is required for local calls and my 7 digit calls didn't go through. Confusing.”

“Pool was very nice and they had a tiki bar next to it. The rooms themselves are nothing special and they don't have ESPN. The staff did not know much about the Orange Bowl event that we were there for and were not really able to tell us how to get to the stadium in the best way. If I was going to go to Ft. Lauderdale for a vacation I would not stay there. But for the one night that I was there, it worked out well.”

“hotel was older and therefore a little dingy. The staff was rude and inhospitable. The gym did not have a fan or air cond and was like a swamp and no tv or radio. 2 of the 4 machines didn't work. Barmaid was drunk by 6pm near the pool and was loud and obnoxious as she drank with the customers. Very bad environment.”
