This is a very convenient location with a excellent restaurant and bar next door (Elephant Bar). This is now a Holiday Inn Express, no longer a Holiday Inn as of January 2012, even though it is still listed as a Holiday Inn. The property has been recently remodeled and the breakfast only restaurant, has been converted to a HIE eating... More

Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback about your stay. You are correct that we are in the process of converting to a Holiday Inn Express from a Holiday Inn. Since we are still in the process of converting we have been serving a hybrid breakfast between the two brands. Once we are officially a Holiday Inn... More

The hotel looks a bit old from the outside, but the room we stayed at was very clean and fairly large with a nice sofa. The furniture was old fashioned, but in good shape, with just a few nicks and scratches here and there. The room got a good amount of daylight thanks to the sliding door into the little... More

Thank you for taking the time to review Holiday Inn Rancho Bernardo. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. As you mentioned, we are still in the process of switching out our furniture to a more modern look and would love for you to come back to see. The construction noise in the reception area... More

This hotel, if you can call it that is interesting. I have stayed here on business and can say it is the worst POS hotel in the US. Yes, its bad folks. WHy? 1) Horrible Service 2) Overcharges 3) Incompetent Staff 4) Noisy Rooms 5) Outdated 1960's decor 6) The list goes on and on. This hotel (motel) might be... More

Thank you for your response; we take all feedback seriously in order to improve ourselves. We genuinely regret your expectations were not met during your stay, however, what you described is not in line with how we treat our guests. I understand during your visit our hotel was in the middle of our major renovation and this may have caused... More

We had a Lacrosse tournament in Rancho Bernardo and waited too long to make reservations. We had only 2 choices and unfortunately I chose the Holiday Inn. They had a great rate of $112 for the "Presidential suite". As others have said, there was little to no parking and the spaces were tiny. Check in was nice and easy. We... More

It was a little more than I wanted to pay, but that's because it's so close to all these corporations here and gets business travelers whose companies foot the bill. Weekend rates are predictably lower. Nice underground parking for security of belongings, I like that they had a laundry room. Internet is free though far from speedy. Very well appointed... More

Great hotel staff and the rooms were very well kept, clean and room service was very quick. however the location is way out in suburb area of Rancho Bernardo and if you do not have a car you're pretty much stuck there with a gas station and the on-site restaurant, Elephant Bar, which, by the way, make great sweet potato...
