the location is ideal for the animal park but perhaps a little too far out to make visting San Diego easy.
We stayed in a 2 bedroomed 2 bath suite, one bedroom had 2 double beds the other a queen sized bed-ideal with 2 teenagers in tow.The suites are bright and airy with spacious living area and kitchen.Only fault - not a full oven and the 2 hotplates are difficult to work on [ no elbow room due to fridge being immediately on right side.]
there is free use of the hotel washers and dryers-very useful!
The pool is pleasant and there is a basketball court next door
The included breakfast is very good-we stayed over a weekend so no experience of food provided during week.Supermarkets within easy drive

I was impressed by the two-bedroow, two bathroom (with full kitchen) suite at the Staybridge Suites, Rancho Bernardo where we spent the weekend of August 25-26, 2007. The rooms are very clean and the beds and beddings are comfortable. There was enough space for everybody! The carpets are clean (I am very particular with the carpet because the children play and sit on them). The fully equipped kitchen and the bathrooms are all well maintained and clean. The buffet breakfast was very delicious, but what I liked most was the freshly brewed Wolfgang Puck coffee that is available 24/7. The exercise room that also contains the laundry room was very useful -- we used the machines while waiting for our laundry to get done. The staff were very courteous and one of them, a gentleman named Pierre was very kind and helpful. I highly recommend staying at this hotel and we surely would be coming back!

These accommodations were better than I expected. The rooms were large and comfortable. The kitchen had a full-size fridge. AND, they accepted our two dogs without a problem. The grounds are nice, and the hotel is in an upscale corporate park area, with company HQs and such nearby. Certain evenings, there were "free" dinner buffets available, but the best part is the Trader Joe's just down the street! BUT the staff seemed apathetic to my complaints about the clothes dryer that, after about 45 minutes, still left my clothes sopping wet. About 90 minutes after I complained, they still hadn't put up an "out of order" sign, so another unsuspecting guest had the same problem I did.

This is another lovely Staybridge site.

Pros
------
1. beautiful grounds -- flowers, flowering trees
2. nice choice of food for breakfast and sundowners.. Japanese staples provided : miso, rice, sake
3. rooms are clean and comfortable
4. parking is free and ample
5. Very close to Scripps medical and Sony. Surrounding area has a ton of restaurants and decent shopping/grocery stores.

Cons
------
Unfortunately, due to its value, many families stay here. if you're a business person, this hotel is going to drive you crazy.. there are incompetent parents and their throngs of unruly toddlers in the gym, running and screaming down the hallways, running and screaming in the rooms, at the breakfast table, at the basketball court. It's like being in a daycare. You won't have a moment's peace from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. in this hotel.
