Courtyard by Marriott Rancho Cucamonga

Rancho Cucamonga was a 13,045-acre Mexican land grant in present-day San Bernardino County, California, given in 1839 to the dedicated soldier, smuggler and politician Tiburcio Tapia by Mexican governor Juan Bautista Alvarado. The grant formed parts of present-day California cities Rancho Cucamonga and Upland. It extended easterly from San Antonio Creek to what is now Hermosa Avenue, and from today's Eighth Street to the mountains.

If you're a fan of the great outdoors, you'll love exploring the hiking trails at the North Etiwanda Preserve or taking a dip in the refreshing waters of the Cucamonga Creek. For those looking for a more laid-back experience, the Victoria Gardens outdoor shopping mall is the perfect spot for a leisurely afternoon of retail therapy.

Culture enthusiasts will appreciate a visit to the historic Cucamonga Service Station, which has been transformed into a museum showcasing the city's rich history. You can also explore the city's vibrant arts scene at the Lewis Family Playhouse or the Rancho Cucamonga Cultural Center.
