Sonesta ES Suites San Diego - Rancho Bernardo

Sonesta ES Suites San Diego - Rancho Bernardo

8/10 Good
"Hotel was very nice and right down from the street from a Costco. Parking lot was a bit small and I did not notice it was $10 a night for parking. Front desk was very helpful and kind. Our room was very spacious with a small kitchen area. There was a nice couch and it surprisingly had a bed built into it as well. AC worked great and room was very quiet. Beds were decent, not good or bad. The breakfast was very good and had different food the two days we were there. Overall very good hotel and we would stay again."
