This building was the first stop on a two week road trip. We expected 'hotel' to be average clean and nothing too special. However we got a poor reception, and shocking rooms. We had rooms with electrical and plumbing hazards. The rooms were 1970s. The beds were comfortable, thats about it. Theres no pubs or restaurants near the place. Only... more

It was very unusual to hear a response such as yours so we checked out your room. We found that an electrical cover was loose and we fixed it. The plumbling problems you mentioned didn't seem to exist. On the average over 5000 people stay with us each month and I can honestly say that 99.9% of those people have...

We reserved this hotel online, based on the Hyde Park location. It is in a neighborhood of beautiful high rise buildings next to the Lake. However, the facility is in terrible condition, the paint is peeling, the carpet is dirty and smells, it has outdated decoration and stained/peeling wallpaper. After one night we checked out and moved to the Chicago... more

Just read your review. I must correct a few things. Our hotel is just a few blocks from where our President Elect Barrack Obama lives and I guarantee you that we are one of the safest neighborhood in the world for that matter. We have always had local police stop by and officers from the University of Chicago also stop...

Our family reunion was held at this Ramada Inn. We blocked off 15 rooms. We was not offerered any discount for the amount of business we were giving them. I had nevered spent $150 on a room a night, so I was expecting something along the lines of 4 to 5 stars. I got a Motel 2. With me being... more

I read your review and wanted to respond to a few things. Before you arrived for the reunion at our hotel we had a discussion about the fact that the reunion for the last few years had been at very upscale hotels and we were not at that level. Yes there were a few repairs that needed to be done...

Visited this hotel in July of 2008. We stayed one night. I was trying to save a little money before going directly into downtown Chicago the next night. This place was pathetic. Not friendly at all and I felt sort of creeped out, ha, as did the rest in our party. We had two rooms. Part of the curtain was... more

Stayed here with my girlfriend for 2 nights in June 08. We found the hotel nice, clean and with the convenience of free Wifi and a restaurant. The room was clean and a good size although a bit dated. We visited Chicago to do some sight seeing and unfortunately the hotel is quite a way out from Downtown so if... more

We needed a room for a couple of days while a family member was at U of C hospital. This hotel is one that offers a discount to U of C patients. We were hesitant to stay here because of the reviews but because the locations was so ideal, we took the chance. We are so glad we took the... more

Booked a hotel room online for the Ramada. It was a little less expensive then staying downtown. First problem I had was when I called the hotel and asked how to get to the hotel from the ORD airport using public transporation. The lady said it was not possible and to take an airport shuttle or taxi. So off I... more

The Ramada Lake Shore is a great compromise between staying in town and getting a reasonable room rate. There has been some remodeling work going on during our stay, but this didn't make the stay uncomfortable. The personal has been friendly. The Restaurant in the conference building belonging to the hotel is great. Friday nights buffet w/ Jazz is highly... more
