My condolences, Pakse. I've had two Ramada stays: both big-city stays when the rest of the city was sold-out.

One was in a bad neighborhood in San Francisco - a long way from any of the downtown spots one would normally stay, but I think it still had an actual SF address. The place was a complete dump. Makes your local Motel 6 look like the Ritz.

The other was in New York City - on the west side of Times Square back before Times Square went and got all cleaned up. It was a block that had a Ramada Inn and 217 adult bookstores. The room was TINY, but it was $119/night on a weekend when I couldn't find any room at any price anywhere else. Still, we managed to put four people in that room - two on twin beds and two on the floor. Made for a fun story. Nobody in the hotel spoke any English, so I didn't even think about asking for frequent-flyer miles. We had to valet park because there was no other option and, strangely enough, we actually got the car back when we left!!
