Location was very convenient. Staff was helpful and kind. Rooms were very clean, comfortable, and safe. I will definitely return to this location. There were no frills like a microwave or a fridge, but with the onsite cafè, we didnt need one.

I love this motel. It is so fun and stylish. It is super clean. The beds and pillows are amazing, and the water pressure in the shower was perfect. I will stay here again, and recommend this place to everyone.

The hotel is very nice in a great location at a great price. The only drawback is they do not serve any hot coffee. There is no coffee pots in the rooms. They have a restaurant that apparently opens at 7am. We have stayed there 3 times. The last 2 times we were there they opened late once and did open at all the next time. This can easily rectified by having a coffee pot in the lounge and letting people make their own coffee and charging them for it. A lot of us need our morning coffee and if this is not fixed I doubt that we will stay there again.

Staff were efficient and professional but lacked welcoming feeling. Felt they were just there to do a job. Was there for a celebration and got back very late only to have housekeeping knock on the door and woke us up only to have them return at 9am and woke us up again after we reminded them check out wasn’t until 11.

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.

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

The weather was great. The air was fresh outside. I walked into the motel room and it smelled like not pleasant not fresh a little too much like cleaner I had to get used to the smell. It wasn’t dirty. I loved the high water pressure in the shower. Lots of hot water and tons of volume. Who cares about the environment when you have such a great experience in the shower

The fun atmosphere was remarkable, especially for the price. We had fun in the arcade, at the pool and playing a large jenga game by the fire outside. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The Trolley blue line was only about a three minute walk, which was so convenient. I can’t wait to go back!

Very clean and very respectful and welcoming staff. Our room was right in front of the pool, so we could hear people the following morning, but it wasn’t that big of a deal. Definitely would stay here again. The food in the café was actually really good and fairly priced too.

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.

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.
