What guests think

At Ramada by Wyndham Cedar Rapids South, reviews describe a budget stay with convenient freeway access and occasional spacious, comfortable rooms, but recurring concerns about cleanliness, maintenance, and reliability of amenities shape much of the guest experience.

Many guests note friendly, accommodating staff and good value for the price. Common negatives include dirty or musty rooms with stained linens or pests, frequent TV or AC problems, intermittent hot water and weak water pressure, pool closures or cold water, and inconsistent breakfast quality and stock. Several reviews also mention a dated property, confusing layouts, key or deposit hassles, and occasional safety concerns around the parking area.

The staff was less than friendly, the pool was a pool, but entire area hadn’t been touched in days! Piles of wet towels laying around, bags of chips on the floor, no clean towels- we asked for them and got nothing!! Not heated FREEZING COLD water! Water not circulating! Only 2 towels in our room of 4 people, asked for more and they said we had to bring back our wet ones! WHAT?? Breakfast horrible!! But we were in a bind, had to stay last minute and you get what you pay for!!

One of the lights in the room did not work. Most of the lights in the pool room was not working. The jets in the pool that keeps the water in motion didn't work. The chlorine smell was extremely strong. The toilet in our room had trouble flushing. Housekeeping kept disturbing us at inopportune times even after we said we didn't need them. The vending machine by our room didn't work. The satellite was MISERABLE. The deadbolt on our door was iffy. Free breakfast was flavorless juice and muffins.

Cleanliness

Reviews frequently cite dirty rooms and common areas, stained bedding and towels, musty odors, mold, and pests (roaches, ants, mice, and in one case bedbugs). A few guests found their rooms clean, but overall standards and upkeep feel low.

We checked in late at night and when we got to our room it was super warm and had a smell, got the air going and went to the bathroom, where it was absolutely filthy, the floor had dirt and debris on it, there was a dead spider behind the door. The tub was so gross, there was a used band aid in the drain of the tub. I didn't want to sit on the toilet. I tried searching for another hotel but there was nothing around that had room for our family at the time. When we reluctantly crawled into bed and turned the lights off, we were greeted by a message that read " you are not alone" written in glow in the dark paint. We checked out as soon as the sun came up.

Bedbugs. I woke up in the middle of the night covered in angry red bug bites. I caught a bedbugs as it scurried away. When I told the front desk they told me they had already had another patron complain. That would indicate that it is not an isolated problem. They moved me to another room for the rest of the night. I have reached out for a refund and they have refused. Hotels.com refuses to assist in the matter and offered me a $25 credit. Travel nurses don't even give this place a chance. Nothing is worth bringing bed bugs back to your house. This review won't allow to add pictures or I would.

Room keys initially provided did not work. Had to have them redone twice. Once we got to room and it smelled musty. Fridge and TV were not working, and then found a dead bug in the bed linens. Asked for assistance on the TV and fridge and were told a technician would be out ‘tomorrow’. Upon discovery of the bug, I requested a room change, and was eventually granted one, after some back and forth. New room had leftover food still in the fridge. Breakfast offerings were a joke. Room keys again not working the next day, and had to be re-programmed, again. Overall not the best stay, will not be back, given we frequent to this area for various events, we will seek out other options.

The breakfast left much to be desired. No protein and it took the staff 20 minutes to refill the biscuits and gravy. The orange juice also ran out and was not replaced. The other issue is bugs in the room. Found and killed a small roach on Friday evening. On Saturday morning, I took a hard boiled egg and toast back to my room. As I was getting ready, I saw and killed a roach on the plate I had finished before me shower. Didn’t see any bugs after that.

Main floor restrooms out of paper and not refilled over a day even when we notified staff. Bedding was stained. Room amenities were decent. For an older hotel it was decently maintained but could be kept cleaner.

The hotel has some issues they may be addressing. TV channel choices were odd and limited, and the hot tub plug did a horrible job keeping the water from draining. I saw and killed multiple ants and a roach. Overall, it was a disappointing stay.

This Ramada was quite average in quality. The water pressure in the bathroom was not great, and we could hear our neighbors (which felt weird because this place has MANY rooms spread over three buildings, so why were we placed directly next to someone on a Sunday night when the place was not booked full). Beyond that, it was fine.

Frustrating none of the staff new how to fix it!'

Hair dryer was missing from the room, and I really needed it. Beds were comfortable. Staff was pleasant.Wall above toilet was dirty (see photo) - and the first was easy to wash off. Hair from previous occupant was stuck to the shower curtain. Wall to the left of heater/ac unit had peeling paint (see photo). Upon check-in, staff scanned my ID, as expected. They then made a hard copy of it too. Given my previous experience with identity theft, and now taking great care to handle personal information with great care, this made me very uncomfortable. Staff assured me hard copies are destroyed in a week or two, but I have no way to verify this.

So, they gave me a room key to a room that was already occupied. They switched it. The pics look NOTHING like what I thought I was getting so definitely false advertising with that. People were loud and slamming doors throughout the night. The hotel smelled like weed nonstop when you went into the hallway. You couldn’t take a bath there was no way to keep the water in the tub. The room service didn’t even bring extra towels in or make our beds with new sheets like I asked. The air conditioning was great, bed were comfy. Pillows were nice, and tv was good. Might stay here again but definitely finding a different hotel next weekend.

The hotel was in a good location for our visit to Cedar Rapids. It was close to restaurants and near the freeway. The rooms and staff were not as pleasant. The hotel is in need of updates and pay more attention to cleanliness. Bedding was stained, mold on shower curtain, and clogged drains. The carpet is very old. When asking staff to assist with programming the TV, they were unable to help and had limited English. The check-in/out went smooth.

It is only decent for someone looking to sleep for a few hours maybe. It is right off the highway & a lot of truckers are around. Was not ideal for my family. All of the bathrooms in the lobby were locked & we were told we had to go back to our room from the pool to use the bathroom, very strange.

We have tried to get a refund and the manager was completely rude and unprofessional and REFUSES to do so. We were a group of women with small children and felt completely unsafe.
