For the most part, everything was great. I agree with others when they say it would be nice to have a refrigerator and a microwave. Also, the landline telephone didn’t work. I look at that as a necessity. Yes, I have a cell phone, but you never know.

While attending a convention in San Diego, this place was an excellent, accessible, and affordable option for out of towners. Highly recommend! The only criticism is that there is no mini fridge but there are ice machines so you can make do. The cafe attached to the lobby was also an awesome surprise!

Bug infested room and dirty bathroom and tables and floor. Poor customer service. I was assured that I would receive a full refund after I complained about the room condition but was not honored later.

Loved our stay at The Rambler. Check in was easy and so was the check out. I don't know if other rooms had mini fridge or not, but I feel that is one amenities that is missing, or maybe I didn't check when I reserved it, but than that is was a nice stay.

This place is awesome, seems like guests were having a good time by the pool lounging and listening to music. They have snacks,coffee and food in their cafe but there is also options for restaurants nearby walking distance.
