Very friendly staff! We enjoyed our room and view. Modern, clean, and great service. Only caveats - slippery floor, rolling down blinds takes long, limited streaming ability, no shower door. Small things though. Overall great experience!
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!
Very good property, well maintained, friendly staff. Breakfast was excellent and free coffee in the early morning was a welcome touch.
Comfortable room.
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.
Clean, convenient, well-appointed hotel. We enjoyed dining at the hotel restaurant, found the reception staff very helpful and informative and the room was spacious and comfortable.
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
