Top South Bay Hotel Reviews

The Rambler Hotel

The Rambler Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This is such a fun place to stay with kids. We have stayed here twice with grandkids. Fun theme in rooms, great pool with music playing, you can order food & drinks from poolside lounger. Giant Jenga, connect four, cornhole, around pool, Outside gas fireplace at night. Onsight cafe/store. and arcade. Nearby attractions. Temperatures cooler than inland San Diego, right across from Coronado, but without Coronado prices. Grab & go free breakfast OK, coffee, juice, cereal, milk, yogurt & granola. Mini muffins & waffles. If you want a cooked breakfast, it is available to buy."
