It's in a questionable side of San Diego but the remodeling of the place made the area looked better and felt safer. The coffee shop is good too. I would stay here again.

Could have been better experience.
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.

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.
