I received a deposit charge to my credit card account for smoking damages. We don’t smoke, they stated they would send email with evidence, have not received an email with the evidence or mangers information as requested to dispute . Will dispute with my credit card.

It's a motel but super nice and perfect for a weekend in San Diego. The blue line is right across the overpass and you can be in downtown in less than 30 min if you don't want to drive and pay for parking. Will definitely stay here again.

Useless front desk lady.
There was a young lady at the front desk who gave me a really hard time at the check in. I requested to speak to the manager, and it took about an hour and a half. Finally the manager helped me out, however, the young girl lacked the knowledge, ins and outs of the check in process. As of now, I am not planning to go back to Rambler hotel ever again.

I have stayed at The Rambler a few times now and I am always impressed by the consistent and excellent level of service. The location is super convenient for getting into downtown San Diego and for my needs on my trips here. Also you can’t beat the adjoining coffee shop’s mazapan latte! X

Great for short stay.
Affordable, clean, safe motel just south of San Diego. Easy and free parking. Close to the highway. Shower head and pressure was amazing.

It was a lot better than expected. A little off the beaten path, but definitely worth the cost. Cafe is a little under developed, but a pretty nice amenity overall.

Had a nice stay here. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Place was clean and I also noticed the cleaning staff cleaning the outside walk ways which I never notice at any places I’ve been to, very impressive. Rooms were very comfortable and spacious. Definitely will book here again
