Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Springfield Ramada Springfield North

[siuwed]

Used links from BetterBidding to Price.line.     Started with 65.00 for 3.5 star Springfield South, no, both zones, no, tried $60 for 3 Stars both zones, nothing, dropped to 2.5 stars for south zone and $55, nothing, dropped to 50 and added North zone, accepted.

 

I tried all these zones a day before too with no results except I did not try 2.5 or below in the North Zone as I was afraid of getting this Ramada.   Reviews are mixed on Tripadvisor, so I will be sure to update this post with a REAL review, if you see my history you know I won't sugarcoat it.   For now I will hope for the best.

Sorry to see you won a hotel you were hoping for avoid, but glad to see you're keeping an open mind and hoping for the best.

Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your stay... hope it indeed goes better than some of the reviews indicate.

The hotel is actually pretty nice!   The room was clean, the hotel was clean, the people were nice, I really could not find much wrong.   

 

Beds are just OK, not super comfortable, but not bricks either.    Flat Screen LED TV's in rooms, along with refrigerator and microwave.

 

It's a wood frame building with two stories, doors and people in hallway are pretty noisy.    Worst of all were the maids yelling to each other at 9 am sharp on Sunday.

 

Parking is ample, indoor pool is decent, and I would stay here again. 

 

It is in an area away from any housing, with plenty of restaurants and stores nearby, the Mexican restaurant right by the place has more of a roadhouse feel and was not all that great for the price, but Buffalo Wild Wings is within half a mile.

 

Miniature golf and batting cages right next door, although closed for winter I think.     

 

Convenient to the Interstate, about half mile off of I-57 and one block from Route 66, about six miles to Abe Lincoln Museum and Downtown Springfield. 

 

$50 is a good deal for this hotel, but if I had time I would try to get it for $37 to $45 even, they had a lot of cars each night, but I doubt their rooms were filled, it's a good sized place.

Glad to hear it went better than expected and that you would be willing to stay again. :)
