Ramada Bronx

One of the best hotels in the Bronx. No bedbugs, clean sheets, everything always looks so clean. You would never guess there’s a major highway next to the hotel, it’s always so quiet. Parking lot is pretty small, so get there early to ensure you get a good spot. Bay Plaza Mall is a 5 minute drive away. Restaurants within a 5 – 10 minute drive.

SO im ALWAYS using Unilocal I always go places but im too lazy to write a review lol, im a city girl and I love finding new places to eat and etc so my boyfriends birthday is on Tuesday and we decided to get a room just to get away and have some privacy to celebrate his birthday a little earlier… this is not our first time finding a place for the night, but upon arrival there was a couple in the front just standing there talking (normal right?) my boyfriend and I walked in and proceeded towards the front desk we had already booked a room online the lady there was nice I wish I knew her name but ! speaking of the couple they were in the front arguing apparently the guy had cheated on his gf because eventually she started crying her eyes out asking if he really slept with «her» I felt really bad for the girl but that’s a whole other story, the woman at the front gave us the room key and told us about our room ‘s location and breakfast which is served down in the c level 6 – 10 am (checkout is 11am btw) anyway, we came upstairs and found our room the place was clean none the less we bought some food before we got here so we turned on the television which is Cablevision (they have a few on demand channels for free which is cool) we watched love and hip hop since I missed the second episode lol and started to eat our food, we got a jacuzzi/​smoking room which was $ 185 for the night, the bathroom was really clean and everything seemed cool until my boyfriend accidentally dropped something and lifted up the bed sheets to find it and we stumbled across a magnum condom wrapper –_​_​-​, then we decided to get in the jacuzzi which didn’t work I mean it filled up with water but the little button you press at the top was jammed or broken or who knows so that kinda sucked because I wanted a nice relaxation time in the jacuzzi room because I mean that’s what we paid extra for right? anyway I got out and got into the bed because I was over it and I spotted a brown spot on the blanket (it honestly looks like make up to me) but either way whoever cleans the room is lazy as *fu** now im forced to believe the person (whoever they may be) didn’t feel like changing the sheets or the blanket which kinda pisses me off… There’s a ironing board and iron in the room, free wifi, mini coffee machine, soap and lotion and plenty of towels but at this point im ready to just go to sleep I just had to write a review because im just trying to help the next person who might be thinking about coming here .I still enjoyed my time with my boyfriend and despite everything the place is actually okay and decent if you need a night to get away or weekend or whatever if you feel like spending or if you only have 200 $ to spend just bring your own blankets probably… overall it’s cool I guess but then the longer I stayed the more I started finding new shit that pissed me off so NO I will not be coming here again unless this is completely like the last option… LAST OPTION.

The hotel is really a 5 star review, but I have to give it a 3 stars due to the price and value ratio.
This is a 2 star hotel. It is an oasis in a desert. They usually charge 230 a night taxes included for last minute booking which is outrageous, but due to the environmental circumstances I get it.
This may be one of the best hotels in the Bronx. That is not saying much. Across the highway there are various hourly motels, but if you need somewhere to stay on a business trip then this is the place.
Pros:
Clean
No Bed Bugs
Good Furniture.
Mc Donalds, Wendys, Smash Burger, Five Guys, Ihop and Fairway Market are near by. Best to have a car though.
Cons:
Cost
Small room for your you pay for.
Parking is limited and tight. You can find parking on the street, but be careful since this neighborhood is not great. I saw someone’s glass window busted when I woke up the next morning.

I was early in town so I requested early check in this lady got me seating in the front of this ghetto type of reception bench for about an hour I not even offer a drink or nothing or even offer me somewhere decent to seat and wait I was so disappointed with the hotel especially after been robbed of $ 200 rate per night I’m from the south Bronx was freezing cold for me tried to turn on the heat it was blowing cold air at 80 degree setting they send a tech who did not know the heck he was doing eventually after 6 hours of waiting they switched the rooms I had to move my stuff with no help breakfast was horrible the only thing that was great was the attending young lady she was very accommodating. I feel like I was robbed by this hotel my stay was not comfortable at all

Was passing through the Bronx on my way to Connecticut late at night and needed a place to stay in a pinch. Very last minute but the manager was able to accommodate me pretty quickly. Room was clean and service was good!

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful experience. First there is an amazing smell to the building, smells like good cologne. Maria, the front desk girl, was very helpful in answering all of my questions regarding the area. The room was very clean! I will be back Ramada!

This is the worse Hotel in the Bronx, te customer service is terrible I booked reservation when I arrived my reservation was not able to be found, I stood in their lobby for nearly 2hrs, I then explained to the receptionist Tyesha she saw that my card was charged the reservation people called her and gave her the confirmation number several times and she still wasn’t able to find My reservation their no manger on site to further assist me The so called «manger“Roger Tewar Is the worse manager I have ever dealt with he’s rude and very unprofessional don’t even know why he’s the highest level of authority for the hotel because his customer service stinks wouldn’t reccomend anyone going to this place I was charged twice for an over night stay and still have gotten reimbursed and he still
Hasn’t resolved the issue its so bad to the point there was a customer who’ saw the situation and told the receptionist that her manager need to be aware of the issue and she then tried to flurt with him and he still thought in my opinion I shouldn’t have had to pay twice and still didn’t do anything to resolve the issue still awaiting a call I have to call there Theres never any mangers on duty to resolve issues as this one I am livid they lie to be double charged he wouldnt even accomdate me with the another stay he word were «thats out of the question» who’s says that to an upset customer that received terrible poor service.

I don’t even know where to begin with the bad experience at this (motel). Yes I do, the stench of cigarettes permeated the second floor and our non smoking room. There is limited parking. The free breakfast was hard scramble eggs and sausages that needed to cook more. The juice was fresh and the lady made a nice waffle for me, then sat and watched my family eat like we was going to steal something. For the price and the accommodations I felt totally robbed :(

I must give big props and a Thank You to Tyesha, who works at the front desk. My mom was on her way to come met me at the hotel when the cab she was in got into a huge accident. Tyesha tried to call my room multiple times to inform me but I had just flown in from a redeye and was knocked out cold. She eventually came to my room to get me and she walked me to where the accident was. She did not have to do all that, but I am very thankful she did!
By the way, my mom ended up being ok, thank God!
Thanks again, Tyesha!

Disclaimer: This is a pretty whiny review, which I don’t usually do, but in this instance I feel perfectly justified. I don’t think my expectations (customer service?) are particularly outlandish, and honestly, it really scares me that a reviewer says this is the best hotel in the Bronx…
So. I stayed here the night before an interview, and as soon as I stepped in through the entrance, problems ensued. First, the lady behind the counter (henceforth dubbed «front desk lady») can’t find my reservation. As it turns out, they had booked me for a different night entirely. Fine, whatever, I can deal. But then she tells me that they only have jacuzzi rooms available and it costs an additional $ 30 per night. She won’t honor the rate that she quoted me over the phone when I originally booked, even though this was an error on their part. At this point, I’m a little annoyed. And then it registers: wait, $ 30 extra for… a jacuzzi room? The only jacuzzis I’ve encountered in hotels are either the ones by the pool, the old school wooden ones outside your room at resorts, or baths with jacuzzi jets. I am informed that although my room won’t smell like cigarettes, it is designated as a smoking room because «people sometimes like to light candles». Oh, dear Lord. Front desk lady just stares at me after this, before looking past me to a man who’s standing behind me, «Can I help you?» UM HI, FRONT DESK LADY, I’M STILL HERE! Yes, please, allow me to pay you $ 30 extra for your weird jacuzzi room! As I walk into my room, I find a king size bed to my left, and directly across from it, a FULL ON INDOOR JACUZZI, right in the room, the three walls surrounding it lined with mirrors. You can decide for yourself whether this is a feature you appreciate. Also, the room totally smells like cigarettes.
That night, I call front desk to arrange for a cab, and front desk lady tells me I can just get one the morning of my interview by calling front desk (at which point, I wonder: aren’t YOU front desk?), and that the cabs arrive within 5 minutes. Fine, whatever, rolling with the punches and all that. So I call again the next morning half an hour before I need the cab. But instead of calling and arranging it for me, as ALL OTHER HOTELS I’ve ever stayed do, front desk lady simply patches me through to the car service where I am put on hold for 15 min. Just… on hold. Never even get to talk to a human. There’s a reason I called the night before! So I hang up, pack my stuff, and hustle down to yell at front desk. Front desk lady calls the cab company for me this time, but my cab never shows up despite multiple reassurances from front desk lady that it will only be «another 5 minutes». I had to hitch a cab ride with another girl who happened to be interviewing elsewhere! Learned my lesson. Just call for my own cab next time. Got it.
Other pearls of wisdom:
–The sheets on my bed were torn in multiple places
–The shower didn’t drain well so I was wading in a swamp of dusky soap water by the end of my shower.
–Did I mention the smell of cigarettes permeating the air and every inch of fabric in the room?
This is by far the worst hotel that I’ve ever stayed at, and this includes this crappy $ 40/​day motel in Los Angeles I stayed in that had cockroaches in the bathroom. At least there, the owner was nice and I could get a ride when I needed one.

My fellow Unilocalers i dont know where some of these people stayed or if they work for other hotels but let me share my weekend stay with you. My family stayed in two rooms for the weekend. Parking is hard but free rooms are big, clean and odorless. Staff was polie, helpful and honest. I didnt see shady people or hear loud noises. This is a good safe hotel located right off the hiway.

My job requires me to travel to the Bronx for 2, 3, or 4 days in a row. I have used the Ramada Bronx, on the Norhtern tip of Co-​op City, dozens of times.
Considering it is one of the least expensive hotels in the area, it is well worth the stay, especially if you don’t need a lot of extra services.
Parking can be tricky, especially if you come in the evening, and pulling out can take a few attempts and readjustments. There is a small adjacent lot on the other side if the lot is full… you just have to haul your bags around the corner.
The check-​in and check-​out are rather seamless, although if a line forms for the single, glass-​enclosed desk clerk, it may be a wait. Save you and everyone else some time, and have your credit card & license handy.
The rooms themselves are quite spacious and clean, although, if you are staying more than one day, your room may not be serviced if you come back in the early afternoon. Still, the housekeeping staff were always friendly, trusting and accommodating. They offer a free continental breakfast, which, because I have to leave for work at 5 am every day, I’ve never tried.
On occasion I here some loud conversation from an adjoining room, but nothing to complain about, considering you are in the Bronx. Street noises are also noteable, but not terrible.
The beds are comfortable, and the sheets are fresh.
The bathrooms were always clean, and they have plenty of towels. The shampoos, soaps etc. were fine. Not A-​1, but this isn’t the Plaza.
There is a large movie theater, several shops and places to eat within a mile, and once you learn your way around the loops of Co-​op City, the selection grows!
Their business room is tight, and not air-​conditioned, so if you have a laptop, I’d bring it. One of my peeves with this place is that yes, their Wi-​fi is free, but if you are not in constant use, you have to sign in over and over. I’ve been to hotels where you one sign-​in is good for as long as your laptop or smartphone is on the premises. Not the case here.
Although the area isn’t glamorous, I have never felt unsafe. I wouldn’t wander the streets after nightfall by myself, of course, but you can say the same about any metropolitain area. All in all, you definitely get what you pay for here.

I had the utter misfortune of staying here for one night while in the Bronx for an interview. The staff was rude and the (no smoking) room reeked of Lysol and cigarette smoke. Ironic that a room with such lethal concentrations of Lysol molecules could feel and appear so unsanitary. The sound of the elevator doors banging shut coupled with the loud conversations of shady patrons coming and going at all hours kept me awake all night long. I took the *multiple* calls from housekeeping the next morning (before the indicated check-​out time, mind you) as a signal to beat it. Apparently the room needed to be fumigated once again before the Lysol gasses reached dangerously low levels. I’ll also attribute the 2 dead-​air hangups to housekeeping– though perhaps asphyxiation and lack of sleep made me imagine those.
I got the job despite the lack of sleep and the fact I must have smelled like a strip club bathroom. Avoid, unless you have extremely low standards. If you have to stay in the Bronx, do yourself a favor and sleep in a gutter. You’ll feel and smell better the next morning and you’ll be 160 bucks richer.

Great great hotel best in bronx by far. Nice locations nice pool. jacuzzi was perfect touch. Free breakfast free wifi always updating and staying fresh.
