This is a well managed and cared for property. It’s an older building, but it’s cared for. It offers a great vibe and the hotel staff and cafe staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. The rooms are small, but provide you with the necessities and the beds are comfy with lots of pillows. The property is not close to any relevant beaches or attractions, but It is right of the I-5 and it has the transit train station a block away. I’d stay at the rambler again without thinking twice.

The unique charm this motel had throughout their themed, the small little details made the difference in staying here. We loved the swimming with a movie at night, having a fireplace to keep warm at night and being able to make smores was very nice.

We were very pleasantly surprised that the property is even better than the website. The rooms are small, but the total facility is wonderful. The location is close to interstate five but totally quiet, conveniently located They even have QR codes on all the furniture around the pool to order from their coffee shop which is great! We will definitely stay here again.
