8/10 Good

"Staff"

The Alcala Hotel Mission Valley/Seaworld

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I stayed here for two days and our stay was wonderful thanks to a fantastic front desk clerk named Elle! Elle was so attentive to us to insure that our room was comfortable, our breakfast was top shelf, and our stay on general was awesome! Thanks to Elle, my husband and I will be staying here a lot in the future! Thanks for everything Elle! Clean room, a/c and heat and awesome breakfast included"

Cosmopolitan Hotel & Restaurant

6/10 Okay

"For an historical experience right in the heart of Old Town, the Cosmo is the place to stay. I rarely have anything negative to say about a lodging because I understand that most places do try hard. But I need to offer some suggestions for Cosmo management. First, the "historically correct" furniture in the room was unusable. The cushions and padding on the chairs and couch were painfully uncomfortable. We brought in the wooden chairs from outdoors for something to sit on. Surely, when Mr. Seeley had the furniture brought around the Cape Horn by ship, the padding and cushions were the best he could buy. So to be historically correct, the padding and cushions should be just as comfortable as when Mr. Seeley was sitting on them. A trip to a local upholstery shop could restore the furniture's usefulness to guests, without compromising the historical appearance. Second, while the clawfoot bathtub was quaint and historic, there were no grab bars to assist in entering and exiting the tub. I know Mr. Seeley did not have these either, but you would think a basic safety feature like grab bars could be added and made to look "historic." Modern guests shouldn't have to risk compound fractures in order to bathe. I'm surprised that the local city codes don't require grab bars. The room does have smoke detectors and I'm certain that Mr. Seeley didn't have those either. Third, some minor things like the loosely attached toilet seat and the room's door not latching could be fixed."
