The Ramada I stayed at near BNA was grim (but cleanish & cheap). The Ramada Gaslamp in San Diego is old and pretty cool (fun neighborhood too); the staff are pretty curt, and don't seem to like redeeming any discount offers.

I have heard that Ramada's program will be rolled into a frequent customer program common to all the parent company's brands. This could only be an improvement on Club Ramada!
