★★★★☆ 4.0 Dalton Webb · Feb 2026

Overall the place is great for the cost. Rooms are clean 2 stays in a room. Beds and pillows are comfortable. Foam mattress that is a little softer than I like but fine. Bathrooms are very clean but could use some grout whitener. Water pressure is amazing! Towels are standard hotel towels. The site has a food place open until 5pm. There is a decent pool with a few games. Location is great because you are a 5 minute walk to transit to take you to downtown San Diego in 20 minutes or so. Also if you are attending the conference at the Gaylord you can easily just uber over there. If you are visiting to see the city or coming for a conference it is an affordable and central option. Then spend the leftover you would spend on food and experiences!

Positive: The lobby and coffee shop were very appealing. Clean and nice decor. The coffee was great and the 30% discount was a perk! Negative: I booked this hotel from the reviews, I booked two queen beds and room was facing the freeway which could be heard all day and night. The shower dispenser were not working.

Everyone was super nice and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again The only thing I would change about the place would be to add mini refrigerators to the rooms and maybe microwaves.

The quality of the motel is great for the price! They have some retro arcade machines, a small cafe, and grab and go food. There is also a fire place located by the pool. They also sell s'more kits, which I thought was very nice! The service was excellent and everyone was very friendly and accommodating. The room was colorful and artsy, which I very much enjoyed. You could also borrow a bike to ride around on. The shower gets hot water really fast, make sure to test it. There were 3 things that didn't get a full 5 star review on 'Rooms' and that was the thinness of the floors/walls. We had a couple of little kids staying above us that kept running up and down the hallway and knocking on walls. Kids will be kids, but this is moreso about the thinness of walls, I could hear people walking u

★★★★★ 5.0 Nathan swett · Feb 2026

This place is reasonably priced and great! We ended up staying here all three nights we were in San Diego but one night at a time because we did not know our plans. But after each night we found ourselves back at the Rambler. Super easy to get in and out of incredibly comfy beds everything is clean and easy access off the highway. There is complimentary breakfast that is cold breakfast only but considering most places around for this kind of price and accommodations don't even give breakfast it's a really nice bonus. The big fancy Gaylord right down road is three times as much for the exact same room and they don't even give breakfast. Would definitely stay again if I was back in San Diego
