We reserved this hotel online, based on the Hyde Park location. It is in a neighborhood of beautiful high rise buildings next to the Lake. However, the facility is in terrible condition, the paint is peeling, the carpet is dirty and smells, it has outdated decoration and stained/peeling wallpaper. After one night we checked out and moved to the Chicago... more

Our family reunion was held at this Ramada Inn. We blocked off 15 rooms. We was not offerered any discount for the amount of business we were giving them.

Not friendly at all and I felt sort of creeped out, ha, as did the rest in our party. We had two rooms. Part of the curtain was... more

First problem I had was when I called the hotel and asked how to get to the hotel from the ORD airport using public transporation. The lady said it was not possible and to take an airport shuttle or taxi. So off I... more

The Ramada Lake Shore is a great compromise between staying in town and getting a reasonable room rate. There has been some remodeling work going on during our stay, but this didn't make the stay uncomfortable. The personal has been friendly. The Restaurant in the conference building belonging to the hotel is great. Friday nights buffet w/ Jazz is highly... more
