Ramada VetroBlu Scarborough Beach

Room36, 2 bedroom business suite on level 5 had good views, balcony was great and big. Location was good, great walking distance to beach and local shops and restaurants. Peaceful and quiet during our stay. Night markets were on with food trucks so that was a bonus. Our only downfall was that the carpets were very soiled and in need of cleaning and the carpets outside room were dirty too.

Staying in the Penthouse (room 58) for the third year in a row, and it's disappointing that the roof above the balcony is still broken (for the 3rd year running). Admittedly the wind howls through this area and has been very noisy each year (and obviously destructive to the roof) which can not be controlled, but the roof and various parts of this damaged ceiling flap in the wind and can be quite noisy making it hard to fall asleep. Besides this, the hotel is wonderful with great beach views, except for the single elevator sometimes taking a while to arrive. I did ask reception when they gave me the keys if it was the room with the broken balcony roof and they said it wasn't.

The location was excellent. Very close to beach, bars and shops and the view from the balcony was lovely. Unfortunately that’s where it stopped, for the price of the rooms they were quite disappointing. We had a 2 bedroom apartment, the carpets were very dirty and stained, the foyer and room smelt like cigarettes (even our clothes came home smelling of smoke). Only one of the single beds got made up the other left completely messy. There was no aircon in either bedrooms only in the main living area which didn’t cool the rooms. This hotel needs some improvement.
