This property was very cute, close to San Diego, and everywhere we wanted to be for our SoCal vacation. The only thing I wish the hotel had was a small fridge to keep cold drinks and/or food.

The place looked great but the plumbing was not the best. Also, I understand their policy but I wish sometimes they would reconsider the canceling fee if you’ve only been there for 40 minutes and you do not feel comfortable staying there for whatever reason such as plumbing issues.

Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the plumbing issues you experienced and appreciate your suggestion regarding the cancellation fee policy. We will take this into consideration for future improvements. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a better experience.

I really enjoyed my stay at The Rambler! The room was delightful - clean and with everything I needed. Tbe bed was huge and comfy! The property itself was very well maintained and the staff were lovely! The location was absolutely perfect for me too, right next to both bus and trolley stops. I am already in the process of reserving a room for my next trip!

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.

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.

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.
