Top Otay Hotel Reviews

The Alcala Hotel Mission Valley/Seaworld

2/10 Terrible

"The room was incredibly dirty, smelled like mold, and the towels smelled like mildew. Toilet and sink were not clean. Body wash was empty. The hotel looks very old and run down, I’d say the photos are misleading. I would not stay here again."

The Sofia Hotel

8/10 Good

"While staying here, I was impressed with nearly everything The Sofia had to offer from the gorgeous rooms, the hotels view, helpful staff, and even complementary goodies in the lobby. I will say I was not a fan of having learning that you must pay to park here as it’s not included in your reservation. I also felt the property lacked more amenities for its guests like a hot tub or even a sort of breakfast voucher for their new restaurant downstairs. Overall, me and my plus one had a fantastic opportunity to stay here. 7.5/10"

San Diego Mission Bay Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Very family friendly resort ! We enjoyed the pool and the restaurant with our daughter’s family and our young granddaughters. The hotel was able to provide connecting rooms which was wonderful and kept us connected the entire time, they also accommodated an early check in for a small fee and a late check out , also for a small fee which was very nice when traveling with small children. Property is a little older and could use some refreshing but was clean and well maintained and the staff was very friendly, bar tenders were fabulous! Parking was super convenient and close. Walking path near the beach provides access to two close neighborhood parks. Would recommend and would return."
