Ramada Augusta Conference Center, Augusta

If you work for railroads this might me a good choice for you. Have you seen the movie “My Cousin Vinny” with Joe Pesci? If you have, you will understand what I mean. 4:30 AM, you are in your comfortable bed dreaming about something nice. And then … Over the sudden a loud siren goes off right under your hotel window. You jump quickly trying to figure out what is going on – if it's a fire alarm and you will have to evacuate immediately. After e few moments you realize that this is just a cargo train passing by. The siren goes off again, and again, and again. The train traveling with the average speed of 5 m/h. blows the siren on every street which it is crossing. Given the fact that the hotel is in the middle of downtown Augusta, the railroad crosses street every 20 yards. At the time the train is finally gone, you are fully awake. You have a glass of water, read for about 30 min. With much luck, you are back to your prior to 4:30 AM state - sleeping. Not for a long time, though. A new train is about to pass by at 5:45 AM. If I was you, I'd just go downstairs, get coup of coffee, go outside and wave to the train. There is NO way you will be able to go back to sleep anymore. Or, the other clever alternative would be – try to avoid booking a room at Ramada Inn on 640 Broad Street, Augusta GA. Unless you are currently a railroad worker and you have no problems with train sirens. Other than that, the hotel was not too bad.
