Ramada by Wyndham San Diego Poway Miramar

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and affordable."

Stunning Views & Private Backyard & Game Room & Grill in Great Location

10/10 Excellent

"A great stay!"

Hilton Garden Inn San Diego - Rancho Bernardo

8/10 Good

"We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and had the family of 4 for dinner. We all enjoyed our food and the prices were reasonable. We would definitely recommend this hotel. The parking is free along the side of the hotel with a door into the hotel that opens with your room key."

Private Resort style villa at San Diego-heated salt pool-Hot Tub-86" TV

8/10 Good

"The location was fantastic. It is a block away from Old Poway Park, which had a wonderful farmer's market on Saturday and it is close to shopping, restaurants, hiking, and only 30 minutes from Balboa Park and the beach. It wasn't clean upon check in and the dishes and silverware were visibly dirty and had to be cleaned before use. Not enough silverware for a family of 5. The pool was also very cloudy and had a lot of floating debris. After bringing this to owner's attention he mentioned it had just been cleaned and would notify maintenance (but nothing actually happened to rectify it over the next 6 days). The shuffle board didn't work, the fusball table only had ping pong balls, and the pool table outside was covered in debris. We walked through 2 cobwebs upon entering the front door and kitchen and the HVAC filters were caked over and had to be removed to work. It was 90 degrees at check in. The house had been neglected. The house was old and had an old smell but it was big, a nice big fridge, a great firepit and we enjoyed our stay."

San Diego Family Getaway | Spa, Pool, and Patio

Garage, Pool, King Bed, Gated Yard in Rancho Penasquitos

10/10 Excellent

"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"
