"Clean and comfy only thing that needs updated is the a/c unitis inside the rooms other then that a fabulous stay. Lots of room in the room we had. Would recommend for a stay for the price about 40 percent cheaper then any motel / hotel around the area. Even with a packed place over the holiday weekend staff took care of us. Would stay again anytime in the area probably will book the same room for the holiday weekend next year."

"No problems"

Ramada by Wyndham Vandalia

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean and well taken care of the staff was friendly and got my reserved room very quickly never enjoyed breakfast got up to late like the idea of leaving the key in the room saves going back to the desk when there is no reason everything I did was all ready paid for so I had no need to go to the desk but wood have liked to had more coffee in the room for wake-up one cup is just not enough and some people don’t like to go down to the lobby in the morning might think about putting more coffee in rooms.
