Ramada by Wyndham Alpena

Ramada by Wyndham Alpena

8/10 Good
"Room was comfortable, clear, pleasant. Staff were helpful and friendly. Bar/restaurant was ok. Cook was out but they still provided food service. Very nice staff. Good people, good service, far price. Parts of facility need updating but not necessary today in my opinion. Good overall for the price. Happy with the stay."
