The Rambler Hotel

Chula Vista

10/10 Excellent

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.

Nice views of the bay from the property as well , right beside a marina you can book boats and bicycles. Unfortunately tennis courts were converted to...
