Ramada Tropics Resort & Convention Center, Urbandale

Hotel is the most run down Holiday Inn I have ever seen. Carpet is extremely worn and comming up in big ridges off the floor throughout the hotel. Pool plaster is flaking in big chunks and falling to the bottom of pool while deck pebbles are decayed and stick to bottom of feet again coming off in pool and ending on bottom which hurt feet to walk. No kidding. Rest of hotel in similar disrepair. I called my wife to tell her about how my son was doing in the disc golf tournament I was in town attending and later find out I am charged an avg. rate of over a dollar a minute for my calls to NC form Iowa. Stay away from this place. I read some other reviews - the staff was nice, but those who commented on the facility must be hotel employees or staying at a different place !
