During our quick trip to San Diego, we were able to stay the Courtyard by Marriott in Rancho Bernardo using D’s reward points. This was the first time we were able to redeem points, so it was quite exciting! 
There is a quaint park with a pond behind the property. 
There is also an adjacent Chinese restaurant called “Pearl” that we were considering for dinner, but it was booked by a wedding party that night. 
Instead, we ended up at a Vietnamese restaurant called Pho Ca Do. 
The food was quite delicious, and reasonably priced. We would be regulars if it was closer to our house. They were pretty busy that Friday night, and I can see why.
