Hotel at a Glance: The Rambler Motel

The Rambler recently underwent a major renovation that transformed it into a hip, ’70s-inspired motel. And one of the shining stars of that renovation is the swinging outdoor pool. Retro blue-and-white striped umbrellas shade beach chairs and patio tables, and guests can challenge each other to a round on one of the arcade games.

  • Guest rooms have a laid-back ’70s vibe complete with groovy wall murals.
  • Play a retro arcade game in the lobby.
  • Grab a bite to eat or enjoy coffee from the Rambler Coffee Shop & Snack Bar.
  • Family-friendly Balboa Park with its museums, gardens, and carousel is just 8 miles away.

Chula Vista, California: Hiking and Kayaking Minutes from San Diego

Bordered by the Pacific on one side and mountains on the other, Chula Vista earns its name, which means “beautiful view” in Spanish. The weather—sunny and warm almost every day of the year—makes this a great place to hike, kayak, or cool off at the popular Aquatica San Diego water park. The city’s location offers easy access to the Mexican border and downtown San Diego, both of which are roughly 10 miles away.

San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter is arguably one of the trendiest listings on the National Register of Historic Places. The area forms both the historic center of town and a hub of San Diego nightlife, with nearly 100 Victorian-era buildings now occupied by high-end boutiques, jewelers, and gourmet restaurants. During the day, a stroll through iconic Balboa Park takes you past 17 separate museums, as well as the world-famous and much-beloved San Diego Zoo.

Great place to stay! The Rambler is a little gem. The price is great and so is the staff. The rooms are always clean, I’ve stayed here about four times. Definitely try the Rambler Coffee shop - delicious avocado toast and the best lattes!

Served its purpose as expected No bed bugs. Impressive for Chula Vista! Everything was very used. The mattresses were very comfortable. The trains made the sleeping conditions very noisy. The people working there were nice but were either high on something or "special."

Fun place! Room design is fun and hip. The lobby is amazing for adults and kids. Suspended chairs and arcade games, a vintage Kiss pinball game, and a big discount on good food and coffee for guests! Smores kits available that you can cook at the pool. The family loves the stay!
