Ramada Utica Area/new Hartford

The renovated rooms were modern and spotless. We enjoyed the varied breakfast, friendly staff, spacious lobby,

This was the worst hotel room I have ever stayed in. When I went out for the evening I didn't realize there was no light switch near the door. When I came back I had to walk around my dark room to find a lamp. Beds are very uncomfortable. They utilize exposed metal springs that are noisy. The sink is actually outside the smallest bathroom I have ever seen in a hotel room. The tub was very badly chipped and I didn't drain well after my shower. The uncarpeted floor squeaked. Walls, mirror and exterior door glass all had smudges. The blanked had an old dark stain.

Spent 2 days exploring the Western Adirondacks and Eastern finger lakes reqions of up state New York. This hotel provided a perfect base.
