STAY AWAY!!!!

Before making reservations here, I checked these reviews and after seeing how positive they were, thought, "what the heck?" We could not get to sleep the first night as the people above us sounded like they were going to fall through the floor. It wasn't so much that they were purposefully loud as much as it seemed the creaky floor was made of plywood and about to break through. Then, the door to our room, the door to the adjoining room and the "one-way" burglar-proof door to the parking lot all looked like someone had tried to break them open w/ a crowbar. The room itself was pretty beat up and in the bathroom, the trim molding over the mirror had come undone at the ends. Looked like someone tried to hold it back with surgical or gauze tape. We woke up the first morning to the "heavy footed" people upstairs and a room full of cigarette smoke from a guest standing outside next to our heating unit - smoking. Oh yeah, then there was the continental breakfast where the attendant was picking his ear and his nose and scratching himself.....and then handling the coffee pot and god only knows what else. Unlike any other continental breakfast I've ever seen, they have a ticket system where upon check in you get a ticket for breakfast and have to surrender it to the ear/nose guy. I can only guess that they have breakfast crashers showing up in the morning. Oh yeah, we inquired about the "heated" pool, only to find out the heater hadn't been working. Needless to say, we checked out early and decided to stay elsewhere. I don't believe one single of these positive reviews and suspect they were written by hotel employees. The funniest part was some woman from Maine telling everyone how wonderful the place was, that they stay there every time in Rutland and once even had their wedding guests stay there!!!! You have got to be kidding me!!!!! BEWARE OF THE RUTLAND RAMADA!!!!!!
