This property was absolute worst… Very shady in the back rooms… I was moved to the front room which had a jack hammering noise through the bathroom where I couldn’t sleep all night I asked for a refund and nothing was provided to me… Terrible experience

Great service and a fun place to stay
I have stayed here before and our experience this time was just as great as the first. I love that they have bikes to check out and the food offered in the lobby cafe is delicious and affordably priced. All the staff is friendly and helpful.

Cozy lil Rambler
The Rambler was an affordable, nice and friendly hotel! The staff was nice and tried to be accommodating any way they could. The grounds are clean and looked nice. The room was the same. The bed was very comfortable! Our only complaint was our room smelled like cat urine. It was in the carpet and wasn’t coming out. We did mention it to staff and they were willing to move us rooms but at that point we were already unpacked so we chose to just deal with it. We will stay here again tho!
