The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe

From the moment we arrived...the valet/parking attendant was so accommodating and the front desk staff was terrific. Breakfast on the patio was lovely and the food was perfect. Beautiful stay!

Amazing staff, amenities, great place to come and escape. Will definitely recommend to all my friends. I am looking forward to returning to this beautiful hotel.

Five Stars All Around — Pure Bliss at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe This was my the second stay here with my wife. From the moment we arrived at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, we were completely taken by its charm, elegance, and warm hospitality. The grounds are absolutely stunning—lush, peaceful, and beautifully maintained, creating a perfect escape that feels worlds away. The staff went above and beyond at every turn. From the front desk to the servers at both Lillian’s and Bing’s Bar, everyone was gracious, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. It’s clear that service is a top priority here, and it makes all the difference. A true standout—elevated yet approachable cuisine in a gorgeous setting. Every dish we had was thoughtful and delicious. And Bing’s Bar was the perfect spot to unwind with a great cocktail and enjoy the, cozy, live music, great vibes. The pool area is a true oasis—immaculately maintained with plush loungers and shady cabanas, it’s the perfect place to lounge by day or enjoy a refreshing dip at sunset. Rooms - Immaculate, comfortable, and everything you need, plus. Mini Bar set up is perfect. Get a room w/ a hot tub if you can! Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway, a quiet retreat, or just a bit of luxury in a serene setting, The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe delivers. Five stars all around—we can’t wait to return.

Beautiful Hotel and location. Beautiful restaurant and bar. Professional and personable service from everyone at the hotel. Enjoyed our stay will definitely return.

This is a 3.5 star review first off. The grounds and location of the Inn are excellent. If you want a quiet place to relax and unwind this is the place. Many other guests were stay-cationing for this reason. The service by some staff was excellent but it was not enough to make up for the lackluster service in so many areas. Restaurant service was (very) slow, staff was unorganized and seemed confused at all times. There were plenty of servers over the Memorial Holiday but they just weren't efficient. The food and drinks were excellent but I don't want to spend 1 1/2 hours over lunch unless that's my choice. Every service interval took forever. Getting water. Getting a menu. Ordering. Sitting waiting for drink refills etc. Room service was brisk and good however. House keeping was not up to par. Our toiletries had clearly been filled up with water. Our outside patio area was never touched. The covers for the chairs were filthy. Coffee items were not filled, we were missing a mug. I will state however that the room was very clean. Again some excellence and some not. I (believe) we had been upgraded to a villa cottage which has a kitchen. Whether this was by accident or intention I do not know. It had a microwave, an oven and a mini-fridge. However there are no plates, silverware, dish towels, pans etc so about the only thing you could do was heat your coffee in the single mug. A spoon would've been nice since we didn't have stirrers. I don't expect than anyone staying at the Inn intends to cook a meal but the point was the missed opportunity. Our last boutique hotel had a cute little martini maker set, a wine cork and (branded) wine glasses. We used the kitchen at the Inn as our luggage rack. Overall the rooms are nicely updated but still feel a little dark and have that old-hotel musty smell. It's not egregious but its there. The bed was comfy. Our patio was huge and we enjoyed it. Also, while plainly spelled out as a possibility in the description, our room had neither an indoor tub or outdoor fireplace. Both of which were why I booked the hotel to begin with. We had an indoor fireplace but who wants to sit inside in San Diego? Oh, and for that fireside ambience they will bring you a single firestarter log. Just one. Again- another small hotel gave us a stack of logs and (branded) matches that I still have to this day. Another opportunity to go the extra mile that the Inn missed. The room did have a fancy toilet which might appeal to someone. The pool area, while small, was adequate. Chairs were comfy, service was good. Be aware that there is ongoing construction behind the hotel (Garden Rooms). This was in May on 2025. The houses being built were almost ready to get exterior walls and roof so the noise would probably clear up mid-summer. It is caddy-corner and not directly behind so you don't lose a lot of privacy. The spa didn't have any additional amenities aside from a private pool so we didn't use it. If there hadn't been space a

My wife and I loved our stay and will return. The entire Inn was updated in the past year and everything about the Inn was top notch. The food was very good but doesn't compete well with some of the other equivalent options in North County. However, the service from restaurant to hotel staff was exceptional. They made us feel special.
