The Alcala Hotel Mission Valley/Seaworld

6/10 Okay

"It wasn't bad, but lacked detail. Only two light fixtures in a room, no overhead light and one of ours was broken, told them, nothing happened, so we had a dim room. You have to go to the front desk for a blowdryer or iron, the body gel bottle was empty so we had to wash with shampoo, the breakfast kept running out of food, slow to refill, only 1 package of coffee for two people and our room was never serviced. Having said all this, it WAS clean, the bed was fine and the staff friendly. It appears they are making an effort to upgrade."

San Diego Mission Bay Resort

6/10 Okay

"I recently stayed at San Diego Mission Bay Resort and had mixed feelings about the experience. The property is beautiful, and my top-floor room had a great view. The resort generally looks like the photos, although the grounds felt much smaller in person than expected. Check-in was disappointing. I arrived early and waited about 15 minutes to be helped despite being the only guest in line. It appeared staff were being trained during the process, which made the experience feel disorganized. I was also surprised by the $40 early check-in fee if a room was available. I knew about the $46 daily resort fee before arriving, but I didn’t feel the included amenities (Wi-Fi, pool towels, pickleball and tennis courts, etc.) justified the cost. The on-site dining was expensive. One mimosa and two shrimp tacos with no sides came to nearly $50 after tax and tip. Service was also slow, and I waited about 10 minutes to be seated on a Thursday morning with very few guests around. The room was nice overall, but there was leftover takeout food in the refrigerator from a previous guest. The bathroom was extremely small, and bottled water in the room cost $8 per bottle. One bright spot was the employee working in the coffee shop. I didn’t get her name, but she was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and provided the best customer service I experienced during my stay. Beautiful views, but the service, housekeeping oversight, food prices, would make me choose a different property in the future."

Bahia Resort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I loved my time there! It was a solo trip and I felt safe. My room was clean and the staff was beyond courteous and helpful. Awesome, drinks, dinner, and sunset! I want to being my family there and have the experience of the bay outside our doors and the ocean within walking distance. Thank you for everything."

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle

10/10 Excellent

"Room and grounds were very clean. Convenient location right off the freeway. Only draw back was that both the ice machine and water dispenser were both out of order but the staff were nice enough to let us use the water dispenser in their break room. Would stay there again."

Hotel del Coronado, Curio Collection by Hilton

2/10 Terrible

"Package we purchased: Cabana with Beach Club was totally misrepresented. From Check-In throughout our stay, staff were very nice however untrained on the amenities included in our package. Wrong description of room ( not on the sand, no view, public walkway in front of the room. Ocean water toxic, can’t swim or touch water, sand as well. Serious consequences if used. Never told this was the case by the Hotel! Room only cleaned once in 4 days, when we called! Parking permit never issued. Manager requested to discuss this horrible situation, She never Responded. Don’t waste your money on this resort."

California Suites Hotel

8/10 Good

"Dated hotel, very nice staff, parking is free but good luck getting a spot. The place was clean, room was roomy enough but in desperate need of updating. The bed was horrible -lumpy and it feels weary worn out. Conveniently located to highway and many local attractions. All and all a decent hotel for people in a budget."
