The location was good and the rooms were very nice although a bit smaller than one would expect. The hotel fell short for business travelers not having any coffee in the room. And the view was mainly of parking lots. Overall, a decent hotel, but there are better with a view and in similar locations

For a place to rest your head, it had a little more personality than your average, and the staff were all friendly. For the price, though, I was a little underwhelmed. Awkward mix of lighting temperatures in the room, the bathroom had a barn door, front desk was jammed into a corner of a very loud lobby, and f&b was really disappointing. I was glad for the $20 dining credit that was part of the destination fee, but beware that room service is served “takeout style” — so that meant I paid $37 (incl fees, before the credit) for two mediocre fish tacos to be delivered in a plastic box with disposable cutlery. Barista coffee the next morning was so bad I almost returned it. Marriott’s got an opportunity to make a good hotel better; I hope they take it.

We had a great stay at Alma San Diego Downtown! The location is perfect—right in the heart of downtown and within walking distance of so many restaurants, shops, and attractions. The hotel itself has a stylish, modern vibe and felt clean and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The staff were friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout our stay, which really made a difference. Our room was comfortable, well-designed, and quiet, making it easy to relax after a long day out. We also appreciated the thoughtful details and overall atmosphere of the hotel. Overall, Alma San Diego Downtown was a wonderful place to stay, and we would absolutely consider coming back the next time we’re in San Diego. Highly recommend!

First night we had to call front desk because TV was not working properly, after the third time engineering came up and telling us that it’s a glitch because tvs are cheap they have to install a sub par item to get tv viewing. They move us to a different room that night. Small lobby, no concession shop for snacks. Homeless people all over the downtown area. We didn’t feel safe to go out at night, area is full of homeless people and a lot of individuals seems like on drugs. Although they didn’t bother us we didn’t take the chance. A lot of transportation available. A lot of places to eat around the hotel. You might have to walk a bit but anything you want to eat, you’ll find it.

Lights in room weren’t bright upon arrival as well as phone was disconnected. Housekeeping never cleaned our room only switched towels once. Valet was really expensive $65 a night added another $150 to the total stay. Front desk wasn’t helpful with checking in problems just sent up maintenance and he knocked aggressively while we had “do not disturb” sign on door.
