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!

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.

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.
