$4.00 a day extra for a mini frig seems excessive to me. Noise from cars and pool was an issue. Loaction was in a high crime location

The lobby and cafe are really cute. The rest of the property is just ok. The rooms are small and have had minimal renovations done. Like others have said, it would be nice to have a mini fridge. The air conditioner in the room was extremely loud, not in a good way. It sounded like a breaking down tractor. The water pressure in the shower was excellent. I probably wouldn't return but it was a good, inexpensive option for one night.

Property could be cleaner and could use updating. Area seemed somewhat sketchy. One of the nights, there was a helicopter flying around notifying everyone of a manhunt for a stabbing suspect. Next day the police were in the office - I think he stayed at the motel! Very few of the machines worked in the arcade and were very old and outdated. Nobody was available to work in the "cafe".

The price was affordable for the amount of nights we stayed. There is a common area where you can get coffee, drinks and light food. Which was pretty good! There is a shopping center nearby and it was also located by the freeway. The beds were comfortable, but the room was a little outdated and could use a good deep cleaning. Other than that, this place provided what we needed.

The setting was shocking at first because I had never seen a hotel with an arcade connected to check in. This spot serves the purpose. The beds are comfortable and the water pressure is good. There are several dining options within 5-10 minutes, literally. I didn’t use the pool but it was being used daily.

WiFi was a little tough, but other than that we loved everything about it. Definitely great bang for your buck. The pool is fantastic and the hotel cafe is super yummy and convenient. The Rambler is right off of the freeway making it easy to get downtown in 10 min or so. Would stay again!
