i think i stayed at the days inn nashville that's on this list, and i am staying at a ramada next month (tallahassee)... I don't think i've ever stayed at a ramada and now i'm not very excited about this.
my normal hotel for personal travel or if i'm at a conference and have a choice with lodging is embassy suites (a hilton property), doubletree ('cause i get cookies!!!!!), any marriott hotel and even la quinta. never had a problem at any of these places across the U.S. i wish i had ritz-carlton money!
