Rancho Bernardo Inn FAQ

YOUR SAFETY AND WELLBEING IS OUR PRIORITY

We have always taken great pride in delivering the highest standards in cleanliness and hygiene. We’ve supplemented those practices with a comprehensive system of enhanced health and safety protocols based on the guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control, the California Department of Public Health and the California Hotel & Lodging Association. We have also implemented the American Hotel & Lodging Association’s Stay Safe industry-wide initiative, developed under the guidance of an Advisory Council, comprised of industry leaders representing all segments of the hotel industry, and in conjunction with public health experts to advance best practices for protecting-against the coronavirus. Our rigorous, ongoing training program ensures a clean, safe and healthy environment throughout the resort for our valued guests and employees.

As government and health officials release new guidelines on hygienic and social distancing practices, we will adapt our own protocols with an abundance of caution for the safety of both our guests and our employees.

Currently—and until further notice—we ask for 24-hour notice of cancellation for full refund or rebooking for all individual reservations.

If you need to reschedule or cancel your reservation, the standard policy requires cancellation 72 hours prior to your arrival date in order to avoid being charged the one night’s room and tax deposit taken at the time of booking. Special rates and/or packages might have a different cancellation policy. Please reference your confirmation email for specifics. One notable and common exception to the 72-hour prior cancellation policy is an Advance Purchase rate. Should you elect for this option when available, your credit card will be charged for the full stay and will be non-refundable.
