JUST A QUICK HEADS UP FOR ANYONE STAYING AT THE RAMADA: I just had to bring this up, for anyone in the future. We stayed at the Ramada Inn. It was awful. It smelly like a musty basement, the sheets smelled that way too. I had to buy $50 in supplies just to get the smell out of the room...and even that didn't work great. They couldn't switch my room, because they were booked. However, after going to 2 other rooms, it smelled there too. So I doubt changing rooms would have been helpful. The bathtub was stopped up, so the dirty shower water stayed at the bottom of the tub. The Navy grad gift was a water bottle, which my son liked at first. However, when he used it, he got water all over his dress whites. Nice.... Good thing it was only water. There were a few other minor details that were disappointing. Again, just wanted to give you future family members a heads up and the opportunity to try another hotel. Sorry to be a buzz kill, the graduation was wonderful, just never wanted to be in the hotel room.
