Ramada Worldwide offers a warm and friendly stay at nearly 900 hotels in over 50 countries around the world. They provide guests with free, high-speed wireless Internet access, cozy beds for a relaxed and restful stay, guest bathrooms stocked with San Francisco Soap Company amenities, and a variety of hotel choices to match every trip; from a family vacation or "quick stop and recharge," to a full-scale conference or lavish wedding. They are committed to creating caring experiences for every person, every time, and strive to make guests feel truly refreshed and restored during their visit! They believe in the philosophy of "you do your thing, and leave the rest to us."
