I had a mixed experience at the Ramada Plaza. The location is great, right in the heart of downtown, but my room had significant issues like a noisy toilet and a shower that barely worked. The staff was friendly and helpful, which was a plus, but overall, the hotel felt run down and overpriced for what I received.
