Review of Radisson Suite Hotel Rancho Be...

An excellent stay at a great price!

An excellent stay at a great price!

I needed to go down to Santee this weekend for a night. Places around that area looked sketchy, so I increased my searching area and found this place in Rancho Bernardo, about 25 mins away. We were able to get a really great deal ($108 a night) for a 2 queen room through TripAdvisor. At this price, I was not sure what we would get.

The hotel is right off the freeway, but tucked away from the noise in a business area atop a hill. Our check-in took a little bit because there were no clean rooms at the time (5pm). Also, their computers were down. However, about 15-20 minutes later, they had it all figured out and was able to get a room (they gave me 2 complimentary drink tickets at the bar, so that was nice, even if we don't drink).
The room was really spacious and clean. We have 2 kids under 8 and they loved the place, and we loved that they had room to wiggle without bumping into furniture (believe me, it happens a lot). The place was nicely decorated, and appointed with a chaise lounge and work desk / chair. The bathroom was clean, with a modern aesthetic. However, the beds were the highlight: Very comfortable and warm. We slept like logs!
There was a nice restaurant by the pool, but we didn't get to dine there this time. The pool was a little larger than an apartment sized one, but it worked for the amount of guests. We did a little night swimming before they closed it at 10pm. If you need hit the sheets before this time, I suggest not getting a room facing the pool as it can get loud. If your bedtime is past this time, then consider these rooms for sure.
Checkout was easy and without issue. We will definitely be back here. It's a bargain for what you get: great amenities and comfort at a very reasonable price.
