Residence Inn Marriott San Diego Rancho Bernardo Scripps Poway

Room was clean, it had a small kitchenette. Room had a living room/​dining room combo. Master room had a closet, sink in the middle, then the shower and toilet. Pretty straightforward. Parking wasn’t an issue. Check-​in process was easy — they have a PC and printer you can use if you need to print anything. They have amenities such as pool, 24-​hour gym (small), basketball court (small). What’s cool is they have social hours every day of the week ranging from light snack with beer and wine, food trucks, etc. I’m told this was a millennial’s idea to make some hotels more hip — plus it’s nice if you’re on business travel and just want to stay in your hotel area. This location was in a plaza with a USA gasoline, Wendy’s, Chili’s, and another hotel (I believe also an Inn by Marriott)

I stayed here last night after a wedding and I was very pleased. We got a great rate (thanks, AAA!) and we were very pleased with our room — it was spacious, modern & comfortable. Although we were only here for a night it would definitely be a great room for an extended stay. We got a great parking spot (both before & after the wedding) and they offered a free hot breakfast in the morning (it was decent but it’s free so I mean c’mon you can’t expect gourmet). As a Marriott rewards member, we also got a ticket for a free item from the little market in the lobby which was a nice surprise. If I was ever back in the area, I’d definitely stay again!

Had to relocate there for a week due to a fire at my house. Originally put me on the first floor right near the pool. Stay the heck away from the first floor — it’s clearly «steerage» on this ship. The bathroom towels were filthy dirty, the floors were so filthy as to be scary to walk on. There was no soap or shampoo in the bedrooms, the smell was disgusting, and the noise was awful. After loosing my home to fire, my wife was just crying. Remembering that I was a Marriott Rewards member, I got the room changed to the 4^th floor the next day and WOW — what a difference. Clean, no smell, quiet and great accommodation. My advice is to make sure you are away from the first floor. just awful — unhealthy.

This was my first time staying at a Marriott Suite. My friend and I had a 2 bdrm suite and it was delightful. The kitchen, dining room and living room are in the. Center and each bedroom is on the other side.
We each had our own bedroom and the price included free breakfast every morning. It was very convenient. We also each had our own bedroom and bathroom which was great.
Every day the cleaning crew came and cleaned our suite. It was a decadent feeling to come back to s clean suite every day.
In addition, the location isn’t far from grocery stores and restaurants. If you are in San Diego on business this is the place to stay. Convenience and Price meet here.

HIGHLY recommend! The rooms were with modern finishings, felt like a home away from home as I live in a loft. The room was with a kitchen and fridge and desk. The continental breakfast was superior in all the others I have EVER been too, and being Filipino, they even had RICE! Lol. I would definitely stay here again!

Great location! This Residence Inn is right off the 15, and there’s a Vons a couple of blocks away.
My guests and I enjoyed the hot tub and swimming pool at night until the security guard told us to leave at 10:20pm. We were being quiet and respectful, so it was unnecessary for the security guard to roll through. It would have been more appropriate for the front desk attendant to tell us to leave.
My other critique is that they ran out of food during breakfast. The hotel offers a free hot breakfast but they ran out of the hot foods. So I came back about 20 minutes later to see if the hot food had been replenished, but it had not. So it’s only a free breakfast if you come early enough and fight your way to the front of the line.

I really love Residence Inns. I have been trying more and more to stay at them whenever possible, though there aren’t that many where I tend to go. I do feel bad staying here for just one night, as they give you so much and are clearly meant for long-​term stays. Still, if they’re going to allow it, I’m going to jump at the chance.
As has been my experience in the past, the room was great and the price was reasonable. This hotel was a little older than the last one I stayed at, but it was kept up very well.
There are two small things that force me to take off a star. The first is the internet. If you’re staying here more than one night and rely on the internet for work or just general connection to the outside world, you won’t want to stay here. The wireless here was terrible.
The only other thing was that housekeeping came into my room in the few minutes I was downstairs getting breakfast. I’m told I shouldn’t care about this, but I feel like if I’m checking out that morning, they can wait until I do check out to start to clean. What was really odd was that they just came in, opened the entry closet door and maybe emptied a garbage. Maybe it’s too much logistics, but I think it’s manageable to avoid the rooms of those that are checking out and focus on the others.

I totally agree the staff are outstanding with ready smiles and willing to do anything to accommodate. My husband and I stayed two weeks with our little 15 pound dog and everything we needed was at our fingertips. (our home was in repair from a leak). There’s a nice little area to walk our dog surrounding the pool area– and it’s even supplied with dog bags exactly where she took care of her business. The coffee is excellent and is aways ready downstairs and Available in t he in-​room coffee pot.
The suite we had was comfortable Including a large TV in the bedroom and Living room, refrigerator, microwave, sofa chairs, desk with great housekeeping. Food was supplied every morning and most evenings.
The evening meals were pre-​made and heated up– things like lasagna, hot dogs burgers (chicken and meat) so this is wonderful for kids but our tastes are more picky so we went down the street to Sammy’s for their wonderful Thai salads and wide range of fresh pizzas. However Breakfast always included make
It yourself waffles, sausage, Canadian bacon, pre made scrambled eggs, juices, and an assortment of bagged muffins some of this was okay. Still they were great and we were not even counting on eying our food there anyway.

If you want to stay here for a long period of time I don’t recommend it, the internet is horrible for even surfing and checking email, do not try watching a video online. There are only stoves in corner rooms not in every room and there is a dead zone of cell phone usage, I had to leave the room for any phone call which really isn’t their fault but it was the icing on the cake. For short stays it is nice and the staff is very helpful!

My husband and I stayed here for one night for my brother’s wedding (venue was Los Penasquitos Ranch House).
–Staff was very friendly
–Prices are fair
–Love that it has a full kitchen although we didn’t utilize it since we were only there one night
–Spacious living areas
–Clean and upgraded
–Nice lobby and pool area
–Love that there was complementary breakfast and wifi
–Location is close to the 15 freeway for ease of getting around San Diego
–Walking distance to Wendy’s and Chilli’s
–Parking is free and convenient
This is ideal if you’re staying there for a few days!

Fantastic. Customer service is off the charts. They were extremely accommodating when we had to move out of our house for 3 weeks.
Great Wi-​Fi, dinner M-​Th, free breakfast. The manager is awesome. They take pets.

My husband had a certificate for a free night at a Marriott (category 5 or lower; this one’s a 5) and we wanted to visit San Diego. Reviews convinced us this location would be a good bet.
The staff, as everyone’s written, is terrific. The lady who replenished the buffet and coffee service always smiled, and genuinely was eager to please, as were the front desk people. There’s a lot of food that comes with a night’s stay (microwave popcorn in the room; coffee, tea, hot chocolate[ big bowls of apples, oranges and bananas in the dining area; at breakfast, not only yoghurt, sausages, waffles, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, breads and muffins, juices, melon – but also instant miso soup, rice, potato pancakes, and breakfast burritos (how’s that for a multicultural meal?). I even saw a can of whipped cream in the fridge («Belgian» waffles, anyone?) Then from 5:30pm till early evening, they served ravioli (both meat & cheese) with a mini salad bar. And wine and beer and juices (I made myself a white wine sangria with orange juice and cranberry juice cocktail — weird, but tasty).
The room (a queen suite) was comfortable enough, and it had two big-​screen TVs, with a guide to local programming by date (not just a list of stations). There was a complete kitchen with all the implements you’d need to prepare full meals. The bathroom (toilet & tub/​shower behind closed door; sink opposite closet in the bedroom) worked fine – good counter space for the bathroom sink, and even a drawer for sundries.
Oh, and they even gave us a certificate for one free item from the small snack display behind the front desk (soft drinks, waters, ice cream bars, bagged snacks, candy, microwave pasta meals).
The only reasons I’m not rating this a 5: location is inland, with nothing nearby except office parks and housing developments. It’s a drive to area attractions (one of the staff, Tamara, explained they’re kind of at the hub of a wheel going to all the attractions and they get a mix of corporate travelers, tourists, and locals). Most of the pillows on the bed were on the hard side (though I’m sure they would have provided more soft ones if we’d asked). There were no luggage racks in the room, kind of a strange omission. Maybe they had some and we should’ve asked, but we were only there one night, so we hoisted our bags on the kitchen counter. The living area furniture, because both the couch and easy chair were foldouts, weren’t especially comfy for sitting on (though the chairs at the little kitchen table and adjustable chair at the desk were just fine). We didn’t use the (small) pool, which is adjacent to the parking lot and surrounded by fence on two sides, so there’s not much to soften the glare. On a very hot day, there didn’t seem to be many umbrellas available, but a few guests baking in the sun didn’t seem to mind.
In short, we enjoyed our stay, but because of location (it’s also hotter inland than along the coast), we aren’t likely to choose it again – though we’d recommend it to anyone who wouldn’t mind the extra driving, especially families. My husband would rate it a 4.5. Guess I would too, if Unilocal allowed that.

What a beautiful hotel. We loved it! The rooms were beautiful and immaculate and the hotel staff were wonderful!

This place is great! They accept cats and dogs. The beds are comphy and the staff is super, super nice! The suites are comfterable and even have their own fireplace! Every morning there’s breakfast and mon-​thurs dinner. I like it here.

Conveniently located off the freeway but blocked from the traffic noise by another hotel inbetween. Be aware that parking is tricky if you pull in late at night. Suburban location so there is little within walking distance. Highly recommend the 2bd suite if your needs require additional rooms (very reasonably priced.) One bathroom curtain was a little questionable, and the refrigerator had a faint funky smell, but otherwise in good condition.

This place is a great surprise. It is not in the downtown or beach area, but just north of San Diego on the 15. From here, you can easily get to Charger games, beaches, Miramar for the Air Show, (as we did this time), the Zoo, (as we did before), and anywhere else in San Diego. The rooms feel brand new, with nice bathrooms, showers, kitchenettes, two flat TVs, good breakfast, close by restaurants, perfect! I stayed with my son and two oldest grandsons to watch the airshow. Free WiFi, great beds, smelled great, too. We even hit the pool to cool down on a hot day. What a great time.

This place is homey and full of super nice employees, plus free breakfast AND dinner? What on earth? Free wifi and very conveniently located off 15.
Hallways don’t smell anything of smoke, just that lived-​in carpet smell. Pillows are good but the standout is the bed. It’s a little softer than I’m used to but honestly like sleeping on a giant marshmallow.
I’m also writing to add that breakfast includes miso soup, steamed rice and furikake, and to that I say… I heart California.

This Residence Inn is conveniently located off the 15 frwy. My reservation was for a studio on the labor day weekend. The hotel just competed remodeling the lobby, dinning area and my 4^th floor end unit studio had also been remodeled and was like brand new.
The studio had a king size bed, comfy living room, complete kitchen, dinning area and work station desk. Complimentary wireless wi fi is offered in all the rooms.
Included in my stay was a buffet breakfast which was decent and the hotel had a small fitness room with cardio equipment and free weights. There was a pool, fire pit area and BBQ if you felt like cooking in house.
This Residence Inn reminded me of the vacation club villas that Marriott sells, but lacked the golf courses and spa like the large resorts offer.
I’d come back here again in the future due to the cleanliness, convenient location and spacious studios.

We had a family Bar Mitzvah in San Diego and this hotel was close to the house. It was also a great deal (found on Priceline) and had more than everything we needed/​expected. The room was clean and was a one bedroom suite with a full kitchen and a pull out couch in the living room. They provided a full hot breakfast each morning and a light dinner during the week S-​Th. There is a pool, fitness center, business center and laundry facilities as well.
Comfortable, clean and good service. What more could anyone ask for? We would stay here again in a heartbeat!
