Been here 4 times now. It's always great, and this time it was even better because they have fridges now! The pillows are the best here, clean beds, excellent water pressure in the shower, and it feels safe. It's really hard to check all of those boxes for the price they charge.

First of all, there was no indication on hotels.com that Rambler was a MOTEL at the time I made my booking. We found out when we arrived. Second, we probably spent a total of 2 hours in that room from the time we checked in to check out! My daughter and I started sneezing as soon as we walked in to the room. Couldn’t figure out why. We left the room to go by allergy medication and stayed out as long as we could. As soon as we came back to the room, started sneezing again and my daughter’s eyes and her face turned red. My nose and throat were so itchy- we decided to leave and checked out around midnight. Horrible experience. And you should update on your website that this is a MOTEL and not a hotel
