Vacations Close To Rancho Bernardo Community Park

Rating: 3.5 stars Pros: Fairly clean. They only missed 1 spot on the floor which had a dark splotch. Roku TV! Able to log in and watch any streamer. Courteous Human Staff. Other reviewers in the past mentioned no front desk staff. They were there this time. A fancy touch mirror to adjust the lighting. Hotel next to a freeway. Had booked a room on other side and it was…less noisy. Close to alot of shops and restaurants and a plaza with Ralphs / TJs. Within a mile-ish of Balboa Park. Lots of outlets! Has a very small gym. Has a dining room with some basic kitchen amenities. Elevators seemed fast enough. No vagrants or homeless people outside lingering during stay. Cons: West Room still prone to street noise like Ambulances, Cop cars, Trucks etc. Not a total dealbreaker but if ur a light sleeper ¯\_(ツ)_/ AC is loud and itll take awhile to adjust so u think its generic white noise.. No pants hangers but its a nice to have. Room size: It small and tight, esp in the bathroom - toilet area. Shower stall is ok enough. Overall: A 4 star hotel would hafta solve things like noise, cleanliness, & space. This place comes close to it but its not truly 4 star. Which is why its somewhere in the middle of 3-4. Its a basic enough hotel that would serve well for a short stay and max 2 ppl in the king small room. Its clean enough, close to things, and generally affordable for the amenities it offers. If you can handle city noise- no matter the side of hotel u choose.

Bring your own beach chairs and if you are not on the bay do not plan to have grass in front of your lanai. The garden view pond was scummy but brought in wildlife. Room was as described. All in all a decent stay for the money.

Had a great stay here for a few nights. The vibe of the property is very cool. It’s almost like a speakeasy as the front is a bit unassuming but it goes to the hotel’s charm. A literal hidden gem. Rooms are clean and stay quiet but should note the closeness to the airport. It’s not overbearing but you’ll hear planes landing and taking off. Speaking of proximity, the location teeters on the residential side. It’s perfect if you’re driving but be ready to walk for a while if you don’t use a ride service. It’s a great place to stay overall. The staff is chill. Sunset looks great from the roof!
