The place (Rambler Hotel) was clean. The staff was great. The place may have been a Motel 6 before but it is eclectic motel now. We gave down for business but now are planning a family vacation at this Motel.

This place is okay for a staycation in which I would’ve given 5 stars for it. However, I didn’t get my deposit back due to a hair dye stain on the hotel towel and the stain in the tub which was beyond my control have I known that it was going to cause that big of a problem. Shame on me right for having self-care day and unintentionally damaging the towels, which I could’ve taken myself to hide, so I won’t get in trouble, but I don’t steal and I’m not that kind of a guest. I was honest and left a note inside my hotel apologizing as I realized what happened. What the property also should’ve told the guests is that their toilets are sensitive and it can clog and backup even with the slightest use of toilet paper, causing your toilet to flood inside your hotel room. For future guests staying, 1) don’t dye your hair and sleep here, or at least bring your own towels if you need too, and 2) be very mindful of their very sensitive toilets that could overflow inside your hotel room.

We had a great stay! Hotel staff were very kind and helpful. Loved the concept, it’s an older motel that has been renovated and has added personalized touches all around the property. Groovy vibes!
