1. It was so bad that I recommend skipping this freebie and visiting the IHOP directly across the street for a decent breakfast.

"A nice value, esp. if you face the pool and skip the breakfast. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 5/8/2012 Vote

2. The pool and jacuzzi area is fantastic, large and beautifully landscaped, with a pretty lagoon--too bad I didn't have time to enjoy it.

3. And later in the day the bumps also started to itch badly.

4. Then, to my nightmare, I discovered that basically anywhere on my skin that was uncovered by clothes were bitten badly by bed bugs.

5. Not a bad hotel, but obviously a place from the 60's that has been 'updated' by Ramada.

7. There is a free continental breakfast that is not bad at all, and they even have waffles made to order.

"Much better than expected " Read full review on TripAdvisor 8/23/2010 Vote

8. This may have been bad timing or luck or may be because the breakfast area is way too small.

9. We told the front desk and they only re-reimbursed us $20 for the bad odor and they even said don't you think those ducklings were cute :< Not very considerate.

"Worst hotel experience - room next to duck foul smell :< " Read full review on TripAdvisor 8/9/2009 Vote

10. The general state of decoration in the rooms was tatty to say the least: badly painted over peeling wallpaper, old looking carpets, patio doors not closing properly with locks that just about work, bathroom tiles cracked, bath sealant black in places, bathroom tiles broken, bathroom fixtures rusting (see photos), wires badly hidden in rough looking conduit, etc, etc.
