I like luxury on a budget and was a bit disappointed with the Alma San Diego. Staff were amazing as was the bed. I would call the room minimalist. It was little more than a square. The tv remote didn't work, neither did the electrical outlets next to the bed for phone charging. Also the overhead light didn’t work. There were 2 small drawers for clothes and a very small closet. The trolley ran next to the hotel, thus there was a continual ringing about every 5 minutes. The property did provide a white noise machine that we used when in the room. Food choices were limited but it was very good. For the price, I won't return to this property.

Overall the room was ok but the deposit is 150 per day and that was not explained when I checked in. I also don’t like that they don’t have a microwave and the sink in bathroom wasn’t draining at all from day one and they never sent someone up to fix that. Then it isn’t safe at all, sooo many unhoused people and dirty area and very very noisy! I will never stay again and if you’re looking for a get away this isn’t the place for a pleasant trip.

My overall stay was good. My room was nice and clean. Customer service was whatever. The negatives are, valet parking cost $65 dollars a day with no other parking options. There’s homeless people everywhere which makes going out at night not safe. There was a murder at a lounge called Cielo Rooftop lounge, that was a block from my hotel. Lastly, I didn’t have hot water the last day I was there, so I was unable to take a hot/warm shower. This hotel wouldn’t be my first option when I visit San Diego again.

First, we had no idea the hotel was hosting a Singles Only party at the rooftop pool. It wasn’t on any of the booking when we made our reservation a party was going to be there. The party made the pool crowded with no room to sit/lay down. Also the amount of drunk people was disturbing and inappropriate. Luckily we didn’t have our kids with us this trip. Just wanted to relax at the pool but we were not able too. Next the transient population outside of the hotel was unsafe. There was a transient outside the hotel smoking meth just last night. Lastly. The check-in process. I didn’t know we were basically forced to do valet parking and on my reservation.online check in. I wanted check in by 1200. Needless to say, the room wasn’t ready Room was great though

The staff and service were exceptional—truly welcoming and attentive! The pool wasn’t heated, but it was still a pleasant area to relax and unwind. One issue I noticed was the showerhead, which was positioned at an awkward angle. This setup isn’t very convenient, especially for Black women who may need to avoid getting their hair wet. I’d strongly recommend considering a more inclusive and flexible shower design. Overall, the ambiance was fantastic and really added to the experience!

I will definitely be coming back this hotel was beautiful inside and out plenty of restaurants,bars, and even clubs everything shuts down at 2:00 am which is plenty of time to go out have fun and then come back to a beautiful quiet room for much deserved sleep

Great hotel, not so great outside

First off let me say the hotel was gorgeous and very clean. However once you step outside and you try to go a block north or south you run into homeless. I’m originally from NY, I know how to deal with them but this is a different level. Outside the hotel doors the streets are dirty, the bums are smoking crack and literally dropping fecal matter on the streets. From the time we walked from the hotel to the convention center and vice versa we were nearly disgusted. Once we got back to the hotel at night we never left. There is nothing to do within a block or two walking distance as everything is a club, or it’s disgusting. You couldn’t tell in the sidewalks were wet from water or the bums relieving themselves. We did absolutely enjoy our hotel stay and the onsite restaurant was great, but there was nothing else for us to do. We left the hotel just ready to get back home. So much so we got the airport about 7hours early because downtown San Diego (away from gas lamp) is absolute garbage. Being there made my wife and I enjoy and appreciate where we live now. We would not book this hotel again, until the city gets a much needed clean up. OH! The best part is that in top of the expensive stay you have to pay tourism taxes, and fees EVERY SINGLE DAY. We paid over $200+ for tourism fees just to stay in the city. I’ve never heard of that before, but I guess that’s a California thing. They should pay us to stay there, seeing as how much of a dump California actually is.

The property itself is beautiful and clean and staff were very helpful and friendly. However, we will not be staying here again because of their “incidental” policy.

Wish there was coffee more readily available. They have it in the lobby but only during morning hours and it wasn’t displayed or consistent. However, it WAS good when we caught it and they brought us a Keurig to our room upon request. Beds were the most comfortable EVER. Sheets were crisp and clean. Lobby was beautiful and staff were super friendly. Pool was so inviting and set up was beautifully decorated.

A Gem

Such a nice hotel. The room was spacious and clean. I really liked it. The only downside was that it was rather dark as only two bedside type side lights were available. The service was wonderful. Trey at the desk was w fantastic and quite helpful. Juan who worked at the Valet was also extremely helpful.

Cute chic hotel- they offered free filter water and free morning hot coffee. The hotel cafe was convenient and good. Hotel staff were very friendly. My only complaint was hearing the bus track noise every a couple of minutes. We were on the 20th floor which was nice but on the city view side.

It WAS convenient to the trolley line but as a result is surrounded by homeless and panhandlers. The room was dimly lit without opening all the curtains. No real door to the bathroom, just a sliding glass door. No fan in the bathroom so the mirror fogs easily from the shower (no tub) The room DOES have USB charging ports but no real night stand - just a mini shelf big enough for a phone. There is a digital safe in the closet and a mini fridge
