Courtyard by Marriott San Diego - Rancho Bernardo

10/10 Excellent

"I take reviews really serious as I find them helpful when going somewhere. This Hotel is an Excellent Hotel, as a long time Expedia customer this is what I want to see when booking a place to stay. Customer service was 10/10, cleanliness was also 10/10, pool was nice for the kids, a cool walk way to go for an evening walk on the back, everything within walking range restaurants and stores no traffic in the area is you choose to drive. Overall I give this hotel 9/10 only because of the $15 dollar parking a night they charge."

Rancho Bernardo Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The grounds were about the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. The rooms were clean, neat, and of a good size. Considering how old the hotel is it’s well kept, probably it has been updated many times, but the rooms still have a somewhat dated feel. Nevertheless a wonderful stay awaits you."

"It was in a great location with a beautiful view. Sunrises can be seen at the back of the house. Main bedroom has the fabulous view as well! Cooking supplies made cooking meals a breeze. We especially enjoyed the grill, the air fryer and the Keurig coffee maker! Laundry in the garage was appreciated. We would definitely rent here again when visiting family in San Diego!"

"Location/Space looks just like pictures posted. Beds were very comfy. The TVs in every room was a great bonus. AC worked great and house stayed cool. House was clean. Tip-bring your own pool towels. There were bath towel’s available. Also there was limited forks/spoons so if staying a longer period of time you might want to bring extra"
