I just stayed at the Rambler Motel, and overall, I had a pleasant experience. The rooms were nice and tidy, but a few details like the constant humming noise and slightly damp smell were not ideal. However, the no-smoking policy was strictly maintained, and the housekeeping team was attentive to our needs. The service from the staff was great, they were always cheerful, helpful, and made my stay enjoyable. The location is convenient, especially for those passing through San Diego, with easy access to the freeway and being close to shopping areas. Although the dining options could be improved, with just a corner breakfast spot nearby, there were diverse food choices around. Facilities at the motel were decent, and overall, it was a decent value for the money spent.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was convenient near various amenities, but it could get loud if your room was close to it. The rooms were not ideal, with a strong smell of smoke and issues with cleanliness due to roaches and bed bugs. The service was friendly and helpful, but there were issues with reservations and the deposit refund process. Overall, the hotel had its ups and downs.

My stay at the hotel exceeded my expectations. The rooms were clean, quiet, and had a lovely view, which was a pleasant surprise for the price I paid. The service was good, though a bit more friendliness would have been even better. The location was convenient, close to key points and with unexpected great customer service and retro decor. The dining experience was good, especially the home-made local products. The facilities were decent, but some improvements could be made.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms, while located conveniently in front of the pool area, had some issues like roaches and bed bugs, which was disappointing. Despite being near the busy I-5 freeway, once inside my room, it was tolerable. The price was affordable, but some rooms facing the pool were nicer than others.
Rooms

The room came equipped with a detailed list of 19 house rules, which felt excessive. Unfortunately, there were roaches in the room and bed bugs in the bed, which was a major downside. Being close to the pool made it convenient for big kids going back and forth.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was perfect for my needs, right off the highway with minimal noise disruptions.
