Ramada Utica Area/New Hartford NY

off the beaten path but plenty of parking, good breakfast and pleasant staff

Staying here you will probably save money, but you get what you pay for, or at least I certainly did. I must say, I've stayed in a number of 2 star hotels, but never one as cheesy as this: dark, not really clean, thin walls--I really regret not spending a couple extra bucks for a 3 star.

The hotel room rate was the only thing positive about this place. It wasn't as easy to get to ask I thought. It's back door entry was always open and could lock if you tried. the hallway lights were very dim making it hard to see down the hallway. The room was adequate as to bed and size, but it wasn't very clean(dust along the baseboard and especially around the heating/ac unit). The bathtub had mold in the corners. The room I had was old and desperately needed to be updated. ...read more

Would never ever go back...what a dump

If you book this one on accident, cancel it immediately. I'd rather sleep in the car. Burn holes and dirt all over the room, then a major domestic abuse issue in the room next to us from 3:30am-4:30am. Just try to imagine a worst case scenario, then add a few disgusting things you never would have thought of. Oh, the hot water didn't work in the bathroom sink either. I'm praying bed bugs don't start popping up on my stuff. ...read more

Room was adequate for the price...a bit tight to move around in but it was what I expected. Bathroom was small. Breakfast was included, and was good. There was a nice selection of restaurants, stores, etc. within a few miles. The ice maching almost across from our room did not work - it was not working the last time I stayed here either. Had to go down a couple of hallways to find another one. The light in the stairway to the 2nd floor was out. We mentioned it to the staff and it was fixed when we returned from dinner. One hallway on the main floor was very dark - like they were trying to save on electricity. The staff was pleasant and helpful. I would stay here again, because it is easy to get to and quiet (not near any major highways or truck traffic). ...read more

It's cheap. That's all it's got going for it.
