Could have been better experience.
Staff were efficient and professional but lacked welcoming feeling. Felt they were just there to do a job. Was there for a celebration and got back very late only to have housekeeping knock on the door and woke us up only to have them return at 9am and woke us up again after we reminded them check out wasn’t until 11.

Useless front desk lady.
There was a young lady at the front desk who gave me a really hard time at the check in. I requested to speak to the manager, and it took about an hour and a half. Finally the manager helped me out, however, the young girl lacked the knowledge, ins and outs of the check in process. As of now, I am not planning to go back to Rambler hotel ever again.

I loved the water pressure in the shower! Nice hot
The weather was great. The air was fresh outside. I walked into the motel room and it smelled like not pleasant not fresh a little too much like cleaner I had to get used to the smell. It wasn’t dirty. I loved the high water pressure in the shower. Lots of hot water and tons of volume. Who cares about the environment when you have such a great experience in the shower
