“November stay”

Reviewed 30 April 2013

Stayed in this property in November. Very few complaints about the hotel; only inconvenience was the location - hotel is on the west edge of town, while most dining/shopping options are located on the east side closer to the interstate. As a property itself, the hotel was a good value and had no issues with the stay.

“Snowed in and treated great!”

Reviewed 12 February 2013

We had to book a last minute room in Watertown due to the interstate closing. The Ramkota had the most reasonable rate. My one complaint was they were WAY off the interstate - about 4 miles in, I believe. I really liked the commons area outside of the hotel rooms. This was a nice seating area to talk to friends...

Thank you for taking the time to write a review of your recent stay. I know the blizzard conditions had many like yourself needing room for one or even two nights.

“Crying Shame”

Reviewed 31 October 2012

It is unfortunate that the BW Ramkota in Watertown has been allowed to get into the poor shape that it is in. The BW Ramkota used to be the shining jewel of lodging in Watertown, but time has not been kind to this property. Management is apparently not interested in performing basic maintenance. The day I stayed here, it was... More

“Wasn't overly impressed”

Reviewed 28 September 2012

It's a nice hotel. It's clean and comfortable, but it's expensive and it's quite far out of town. It's a pet friendly hotel, but they have so many rules it makes you feel a little uncomfortable. I know they have to have pet guidelines but the give you a rule list with your check in and they have signs posted... More

Thank you for your response. You must have been here when the North American Armbruster group was here, yes our hotel is pet friendly! We know many travel with their pets, but our guidelines are very reasonable. The only reason for the signs on the entrance -it was requested by the group. They were dismayed that some of their group... More

“Wear a gas mask”

Reviewed 17 September 2012

We were there over Labor Day weekend for a wedding. I don't know if there was a plumbing problem or what, but several of my aunts shared a room and while in there, we kept smelling poop. After unpacking, my cousin and his family informed us that their room, "smelled like sh!t". The WORST was my sister's room. It reaked... More

“A decent place with not the best location”

Reviewed 23 August 2012

I've stayed here a couple of times over the last few years. If you're traveling along 212 and looking for a good place to stop overnight, this is a good bet. The rooms and hotel are a bit dated, but clean. Minerva's, which is the attached restaurant, is one of the best ones in town. Watertown is spread out over... More

“Good hotel. Need to fix the wi-fi.”

Reviewed 7 August 2012 via mobile

Overall the hotel presents itself well. Perhaps a little more attention to landscaping. The front desk staff was courteous and helpful. The room was nicely modernized and clean. Two negative things about the room. One is the poor wi-fi service. The other is the windows. I had a room where the windows faced the parking lot. They seemed kind of... More

Thank you so much for taking the time to review your stay at our hotel.
