“Rambler Motel strikes me as a fun, budget-friendly option for families seeking a retro vibe near San Diego's attractions. I think the heated pool and onsite arcade are a nice touch, and the free bike rentals really encourage exploring the area. However, I did note some mentions of thin walls and noise, so requesting a quieter room might be wise.”
