Frommer's "The tropical setting beside a golf course makes the Crowne Plaza stand out... it's perfect for families who want resonably priced accommodations." Full review
Fodor's "Clean and comfortable, the Crowne Plaza may not have the frills of downtown hotels and coastal resorts, but it's a reliable pick for budget-minded families."
Lonely Planet "Throw some of the pennies you save into one of the waterfall-fed ponds inside and outside this expansive hotel. This chain is one of the best buys for quality." Full review

Gayot "This well-kept hotel has a pleasant resort vibe, with gardens, waterfalls, palms, lagoons and a heated outdoor pool."

DK Eyewitness "Two-story, red-tile-roof adobe buildings and bougainvillea-adorned patios evoke images of early California at this gracious resort."
Gayot "Three things come to mind when thinking of the Rancho Bernardo Inn (or the RBI as locals call it): classic California style, premier golf and an award-winning spa."
BlackBook "Tranquility-seekers, beeline it to RBI. This historic property is a secret garden of peaceful luxury in the midst of the cookie-cutter suburbia that has grown up in its environs."
Condé Nast Traveler "It's a sprawling property with Spanish Colonial-style buildings and gardens throughout." Full review
Time Out "Hidden in the quiet neighborhood of Rancho Bernardo, the Inn makes guests feel worlds away from the busy city." Full review
