Find the Cheap Rancho Santa Fe Hotels

The surrounding environment was quiet and nice. After all, the bed feels good. The service was fine. I would like to use this next time.

Room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The same rooms could use some updating, but did not take away from the great stay with amazing service. Good food with great drinks at the restaurant. The work out facility was also vast & clean. Cant wait to return to such a lovely & convenient location.

We stayed at Rancho Valencia in July and we had a wonderful time! Don’t look any further this place is a DREAM. The property is absolutely stunning and pristine, the service was impeccable, they are beyond dog friendly, my fur friend was dialed in with all the amenities in our room and they have a special dog menu at their restaurant. (Sophie my franchise had a bed for her at dinner,so spoiled). We dined on property both nights and we thought the food was delicious and lots of options to choose from. We really enjoyed playing tennis at the club their facilities is really clean and super organized. The rooms are all very large suites we had a full living room, very large bathroom, shower & tub and a gorgeous courtyard. I can’t forget how incredible our experience was with their brand new state of the art spa & pool. This is by far the most luxurious property in North San Diego and they go the extra mile to make you feel special & spoiled. I can’t wait to go back! If you get a chance to stay at Rancho you will not be disappointed.

Really good hotel! Not in the city; it's out away from San Diego. It's about 1/2 hour to 45 min to drive to parts of San Diego. There is parking at the hotel, but they charge for parking???? The only way to get to this hotel (for most) is by driving a car and parking it there. They seem to be taking advantage of customers to charge for the parking. Hotel was clean and had breakfast. Safe location.

Best location for Del Mar Racetrack, free shuttle to the track. Staff friendly and efficient. Room was comfortable and very clean, extended bathroom a plus. Since Covid, must request room make up. Requested room to be made up each day, which was completed without a second request. About time to begin some room furniture replacement. Common areas clean and comfortable. Shout out to Vincent, waiter in the bar/lounge, very efficient and engaging, a credit to the property. Prior to Covid, hotel provided free shuttle service within a 5 mile radius, to restaurants, etc. would like to see the hotel re-establish this service.

My wife and I stayed at the Winners Circle Resort in August 2024. The resort is well-maintained, close to the beach, and conveniently located near many restaurants and shops. It's also about 20–30 minutes from downtown San Diego. The accommodations were spacious, with a TV and appliances, and the staff I interacted with were great—except for my check-in experience. When I checked in, I was informed that I would have to check out and then check in again four days into my week-long stay. No reason was provided then, so I emailed the resort manager, who responded promptly. However, the explanation still made no sense. It felt like a complete waste of time and was an inconvenience, as I had to wait in line again to check in four days into my stay. If this was simply an administrative issue, I don't understand why my room keys couldn't have been programmed for the entire duration of my stay. Additionally, my handwritten parking pass could have been issued with an expiration date matching the end of my stay. I don't work in the hospitality industry, so maybe I'm missing something, but while this wasn't a major inconvenience, it affected my overall experience and left a negative first impression. First impressions matter, and this one set the tone for my stay at the resort.

Tired…tired…tired… the hotel is really tired. It is a shame, because it has great character. A lot of your experience will depend on the room you are assigned. We were first given the “Lattice” room. 104. It is dark, feels closed in and the tub did not drain well. The bathroom smelled of sewer. The gentleman who checked us in on our arrival date was slow and cranky. The following day we asked to move to a different room. The staff that day (especially Andrew) was very nice and for an extra 30.00 they moved us to the Country French room. 106. What a difference! Although the bathroom still had a slight sewer smell, the room had better light and even a little bit of an ocean view. It is unfortunate that whoever owns the hotel is not maintaining it or keeping it up to date. The rates are reasonable for the location but, as they say, “you get what you pay for.” I read in other reviews that the hotel was being renovated, but I saw no signs of it. Old wallpaper, old carpet, old fixtures, old… just old. Upstairs deck is nice for sunset though. And having parking was a real benefit! If I need a cheaper place to stay near the ocean I would go back, but I would be very specific about which room I reserved. Lots of stairs to negotiate for the upper level rooms, just FYI.

For the price and location along with having decent amenities this hotel was a good deal and I had no complaints. Ample parking below the building, very close to the beach, nice coffee shops and yoga studio, and easy access from the main road . Beds were comfortable enough and the room was clean. It’s not a five star hotel , but for a business trip it for the bill just fine

The place was nice, we were surprised at the outside hallways, but I guess that’s just a Southern California thing. The room was large, clean and of course a comfortable Marriott mattress. The coffee maker, microwave and mini fridge were appreciated. They just got their liquor license and we spent some time with bartender Chrissy out in the little Bistro. She made me a delicious Old Fashioned then we spent time at the fireplace talked to a couple from Toronto. Don’t miss Bangkok Bay Thai restaurant right next door, it’s the real deal, get a reservation.
