Top Chula Vista Hotel Reviews

The Rambler Hotel

The Rambler Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Great, affordable option! We stayed with two small kids and they enjoyed the pool. The coffee shop has great iced coffee and friendly staff. Room was clean and the beds were incredibly comfortable! My husband and I both woke up and commented on how comfy they were. We’d stay here again! Only negative was that our keys kept not working and it took two trips down to the front desk until someone told us that holding them to your phone (which we were doing every time) deactivates the key. After that it was all good and overall a good, cute motel with friendly staff."
