I adore this hotel, having stayed somewhere else during an earlier part of my trip I really appreciated coming to the Rambler and how comfy and cozy the rooms are! The on-site coffee shop is hugely convenient and the staff are lovely, the food from the coffee shop is always freshly prepared and so delicious! Plenty of places to eat close by too if you fancy something different!

Cute place, not fancy or anything, but has a wonderful cafe. We did not have time to swim, but it looked inviting. Just what we needed for our one-night stay.

This property looked like an old apartment building. The soap dispenser in the shower did not have any shower gel, we asked for an iron and ironing board, they gave us a mini ironing board that would not stay up, and the iron was dirty and it stained my husbands white shirt he was gonna wear to a funeral. We had to call for a plunger because the toilet backed up. Asked for more towels and we had to go pick them up. The lights were not bright enough for me to put on my make-up. The hotel is in an area where there are a lot of homeless people walking around outside the motel premises. I’m not sure how this place got an outstanding rating! Expedia you guys should verify your ratings!
