1. Hello friends,I had read lot of negative reviews about this hotel but still dared to book a room for 5 nights as I had limited budget and wanted a hotel which would be closer to Convention Center.

"Good Budget Hotel on Lake Shore drive in close proximity of Convention Center " Read full review on TripAdvisor 1/3/2012 Vote

2. I really have no idea what the other negative reviewers are talking about--it's almost as if we went to separate hotels, or maybe I was just fortunate enough to stay in a good room? The hotel was very nice, the rooms were spacious, the staff was friendly, everything worked perfectly, from the bathroom to the ac to the free Internet.

3. negatives: dirty carpeting in the hallways, absent vending machines, doors that do not auto-lock consistently, doors that do not program correctly (took 5 tries to finally get our room key to work), sheets that rumple easily, too soft mattresses, and VERY thin walls (you can hear people using their bathrooms, walking around and watching tv).

4. I don't know why I'm reading so many negative reviews of this perfectly reasonable hotel for the price.

5. Rather than trying to counter every negative review that comes up about this hotel, or trying to insinuate that each complaining guest has got to be the exception to the rule, the owners need to admit the pattern and fix the place up.

"No more excuses--fix the place up! " Read full review on TripAdvisor 1/29/2010 Vote

6. We have never had a negative experience at the Ramada Inn Lakeshore Drive, and we don't even bother shopping around anymore.

7. I didn`t read any reviews until shortly before we left and I then got very nervous because most of them were pretty negative.

9. I was really apprehensive and worried after reading the negative reviews online, and after an encounter with a rather rude staff over the phone before my trip.
