Ramada Hotels in Kent

I'm a Wyndham platinum member. We were going to give this place another shot. We used to stay here on our business trips to Kent and Fife that we make two or three times annually. Also, the proximity to Showare center is nice, as we have traveled to watch WHL hockey games in years past. In fact, once upon a time they offered a discount rate for WHL fans. This place was going downhill then. It's much worse since COVID. I really should have not booked here after reading all of the recent reviews online. But, I was a sucker for a cheap room. And we had some late night activities planned at Kent Station shopping complex. And one of our business stops is nearby. So, when I saw a really affordable rate on the king jacuzzi suite, I booked it. Like over a month out. We've stayed in one of those before. Surely we can do this. It's just a bed, right? Ughhhh! I feared this would be a mistake. I swore we'd never stay there again. I guess was held to that oath. I arrive just after 4PM and after a brief wait I find that they had us a twin double room. The room I booked was not available. I said I don't care about the Jacuzzi tub, just having a King bed. Which she tried to charge more for. I showed her my booking confirmation and rate, she reluctantly agreed to honoring that rate. But in the future I need to call to confirm the room. I've always booked my rooms online through the Wyndham website or app. I've never had this happen anywhere before. At a bit more expense I pulled up the app and booked a night at the La Quinta that we usually stay at in the Fife and Tacoma area. I will never stay at that Ramada again, even if it was free. Just read the Google reviews about how run down it is and the shady neighborhood. We probably just got saved from having our car broken into overnight. Look at the recent posted photos on the Google reviews as well. Yes, it's that bad. Also, the restaurant next door is closed permanently. Windows boarded up. Just not a good sign at all. Nearly all of our personal and business trips result in us staying at Wyndham hotels. This location is a dark stain on the name of Ramada and Wyndham. In contrast, I walk through the door at La Quinta here in Fife/Tacoma and they are super friendly. I mention that I just booked the room and we had a bad experience at another location and came here. About 30 minutes after getting into our room I got a call from the front desk asking if everything is OK. Wow. I have a review posted on that hotel, and I'm going to update it.
