The property was cute and clean, and the bed was comfortable. It was very loud at night when I stayed. I was in for a conference and didn’t sleep well because of it being loud at night and being able to hear loud conversations outside my room and the room next-door to me throughout the night. I would recommend a coffee pot, Mini – refrigerator, and microwave for the room. Parking was very limited close to my room as well.

We loved staying at the Rambler for our week in San Diego! Such a cute vibe with very comfy beds and a great shower! Only things I would recommend would be a small fridge and microwave for more convenient an cost effective meal planning, and parking was hard to come by if you were staying in a room near the lobby and did not return til later in the evenings.

I really like the Rambler Motel. It’s close to where my brother lives, but he lives on a boat, so it’s great to have a close motel. It’s a really cool place when everything and everyone are working. I came when they had unusual issues, and I would stay there again without question. However, this time it was just different than usual. Their system was down at check in and they told us we would have to wait. We came back an hour later, their system was still down. I had to mention that I checked in online days before when they emailed me to do so. They had me checked in all along. The next morning the system was still down and they couldn’t get us coffee because they couldn’t ring it up. I thought they should have been able to bill the room. The next morning they couldn’t get us coffees because the other person didn’t show up. We didn’t have a vehicle, so we had to wait for a ride. No coffee in the morning is never good for me.😎

This hotel was a good value. Kids are tricky to travel with because they have food preferences that can be tricky to cater without a small refrigerator and we were with kids and there was no refrigeration. This is the only hotel we have been to that doesn't have coffee in the room. As parents we appreciate our morning coffee nice and early so waiting for the coffee shop to open was not fun. The staff were nice and the pool was wonderful. We had a great time as a family and felt safe so overall it was worth it♡
