As a seasoned hotelier and business owner within the hospitality industry, I have had the opportunity to experience a wide array of accommodations across the globe. Unfortunately, my recent stay at the Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Montreal stands out as one of the most grotesque hotel experiences in my five decades of traveling.
From the moment I arrived, it was evident that this establishment fell far short of the standards I hold dear in the realm of hospitality. Upon observation, it seemed that the only other guests occupying the premises were individuals from abroad, presumably without steady income & social support.
Throughout my stay, I felt profoundly unsafe within the confines of the hotel. The ambiance did not resemble that of a typical lodging; instead, it exuded an aura of desolation and neglect. Despite my exhaustion from travel, I found it challenging to rest adequately due to a myriad of disturbances. Disconcerting noises emanated from various sources, including the roof, disrupting any chance of peaceful sleep.
Venturing outside offered little peace of mind, as the surrounding environment emitted an unsettling vibe. It was clear that the frequency of occurrences was far from ideal, further exacerbating my discontent with the overall experience.
However, amidst the myriad of disappointments, one silver lining emerged—the receptionist was helpful and friendly the only positive thing about this hotel, I have to say. Would not recommend this hotel in even my dream!
