You can walk across the overpass to one of the Tram stations, so easy connections to downtown or the Mexican border.

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.

I have stayed at The Rambler a few times now and I am always impressed by the consistent and excellent level of service. The location is super convenient for getting into downtown San Diego and for my needs on my trips here. Also you can’t beat the adjoining coffee shop’s mazapan latte! X

It was a lot better than expected. A little off the beaten path, but definitely worth the cost. Cafe is a little under developed, but a pretty nice amenity overall.

Unfortunately we got covid and weren’t given a refund because of the late cancellation, it was a last minute cancellation as we suddenly started getting symptoms earlier that day and then tested positive for Covid; businesses used to be more flexible given the pandemic, guess not anymore. Lost $200.
