  It was just baby daddy who went to take care of it. He wasnt a part of the wedding and was able to handle it professionally without getting emotions involved. I have never been so disgusted in my life!

  That is… Disgusting beyond words. I’m not even sure what to say. I mean, it’s someone’s WEDDING. Why in heaven’s name would anyone, let alone the entire staff think that this is okay? … I mean, even if we were to ignore the whole wedding thing, I don’t understand how anyone could stand being in a room like that.

  I’m sure I would have been as stunned as your friend was. She’s one lucky girl to have had you there with her.

  They knew we were coming, took the money with a smile and even left the kitchen and back rooms open to inspection, AS IF this wasnt a problem! There was only ONE staff person that turned out to be helpful and kind towards the wedding party and that poor girl was ran completely ragged. I hope the health inspector will do something about this!

  I just checked the google site for this and the reviews are ALL terrible. Of course except the ones from the management.

  Wow. I threw up in my mouth a little bit. That is absolutely disgusting and, hopefully, not indicative of the Ramada Inn company as a whole. I had my wedding reception at the Ramada London and, outside of one worm cooked to my brother’s broccoli (it was cooked right on there to… it was tiny though, and he was able to cut that piece off and set it aside so he could eat the rest of his meal), everything was immaculate.

  Maybe I’ll blog about what ended up being our part of the wedding nightmare… or I’ll have Kathleen do that, since the experience was 95% her’s.

  If it is the way that all Ramada’s are run, I cant imagine that they would still be in business. The safety violations alone were appalling. So…. Everything was immaculate except your brother had to pick a worm out of his food? Im sorry, but thats a big ass FAIL in my book as well.

  Id love to read the blog if K gets around to it, let me know!

  That had to be the single most disgusting thing I have ever seen and I just saw hubby’s ex, so that is saying a lot.

  I assume you have contacted corporate office.(with pics)
  Wait! When did this happen? Have any stories about Ramada come out?

  Better Business Bureau, Ramada Corporate, 9News, Tom Martino, The Duece and FOXnews have been notified. I hope that someone picks it up, this happened two days ago so I am not surprised that there hasnt been a story out YET. I am hoping that the health department does something about it.

  That is absolutly disgusting! There is nothing that urkes me more than LAZY people who can’t do their job! I hope the manager of that place looses every penny he has for this disgusting excuse for a hotel.

  Wow! I am totally surprised (not to mention totally disgusted) at this. We had our wedding at a Ramada hotel and the staff were wonderful, the food was amazing, and the reception room was gorgeous! Maybe it had something to do with being Canadian

  Wow. As an executive chef I am completely disgusted by the state of that kitchen. I am also troubled by the staff’s indifference. Obviously the issue is at the management level. If the management don’t show that they care about their own property than why should the general staff?
  If I was the manager of that property I would definitely refund the cost of the rental, and catering and subsequently have a “come to Jesus” meeting with my food and beverage director, catering director and executive chef. Such shoddiness should never be tolerated.

  Just a quick note: I copied your article and am emailing it to several of my chef friends to remind them of the importance of keeping all banquet and kitchens clean at all times. It is rare that we get the client perspective on issues like this.

  Thank you so much for stopping in! I think there needs to be several sit-downs with the staff, and a mass firing of most of them!

  I am flattered you would use my words to show them. Thank you.
