“Amazing view , Super comfortable all around amazing experience”

Lena was amazing help! i’ll definitely be coming back after the service she provided

“A great stay at Alma hotel”

The room and the view from the 20th floor was absolutely stunning. I highly recommend upgrading to a room with a balcony if you can. There was not just one balcony but two, both looking in different directions over San Diego. The staff and room service were friendly and professional. I would recomm… more

I would recommend the Alma hotel to anyone visiting San Diego.

Location: walking distance (about 1 mile) to the waterfront. Across from a tall parking garage, so quiet with no facing windows. Close to trolley with an inordinate number of unhoused, some doing drugs openly.There is more litter than closer to the water. Does not feel unsafe, though if one has situational awareness. Valet parking (we did not use). Clientele appears to be young well-off couples with dogs and children. The restaurant allows dogs at the tables. Staff: young staff who seem somewhat unengaged. We often felt invisible, especially while waiting for restaurant service. Once engaged, staff was pleasant. Our requests for another chair and extra supplies were taken care of. Room. Very high ceilings in rooms that have large windows and are probably bright during normal weather. The lighting is inadequate with only bed mounted lamps and one “atmospheric” hanging lamp. There is no light over the table or the mini-bar. Window coverings are adequate. The bathroom door is a 10-foot sheet of frosted glass (heavy) hanging like a barn door that provides minimal privacy with gaps around and of course, glass. This would not bother some. The door is surely a liability being very heavy and difficult to open and close. There was fecal matter on the bathroom tile, likely because the room is totally tile in textured excrement-colored tile. The room seemed clean but who knows? There is the overhead shower with no hand attachment and no grab bars. One bed was made with the tags on the fold down at the top putting them under the guest’s chin. Insignificant but noticeable lack of attention to detailed service. The towels are of Motel 6 quality. Restaurant: good food but not a value with a limited menu. Slow service. The waitperson petted a dog and then proceeded with the work of setting service and serving without washing hands. There were dogs. OK with me but some would find dogs literally at the table, in laps, on chairs, unpleasant. This is not a destination hotel but rather a stop over. We stayed during a storm so did not use the pool or the fitness center.
