Top San Diego Hotel Reviews

The Alcala Hotel Mission Valley/Seaworld

The Alcala Hotel Mission Valley/Seaworld

8/10 Good
"Staff were all very nice and helpful. The room was clean - the sink in the bathroom doesn’t extend far enough into the basin so there was always water all over the bathroom counter which was a bit annoying - but not a big deal. Our room key also stopped working 3 times but staff was always very quick to help. Overall a good stay."
