Stayed at the Alamo Hotel and honestly, while the hotel itself was super nice, the best part of our whole stay was the bar, all thanks to Rooster and Gabe. These guys were amazing. So fun, personable, and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. They seriously elevated the whole experience like they just got what we wanted without us even having to say much. The drinks were on point, the vibes were even better. If you’re ever at the Alamo, do not skip out on the bar. Rooster and Gabe make it feel like the place to be. Can’t wait to come back

Work trip with 40-50 people. Great location (heard of San Diego, bars and restaurants close by). Hotel is bright and cheery. The real highlight is the staff- everyone smiles and works hard to make sure the guests are taken care of. Particular shout out to Angel- he helped with check in and made sure my room was ready. He also explained the various offerings at the hotel and he made sure to check back in with me later in the day to make sure all was well. Excellent customer service Angel!

We had a splendid stay with a delightfully helpful and engaging staff. The people who checked us in were so friendly and affable. All of the bar staff at the lounge cafe were fun and personable, especially Rooster. Highly recommend the farmers market tomatoes and roasted beets! They were fresh and flavorful.

We had the best drinks and conversation with rooster at the bar. Very kind friendly, and welcoming. Made great impression on Alma! 10/10 get the Mint Condition you will not regret it . I also recommend the calamari it pairs well with the drinks!! CHEERS

The bartender, Rooster, really made the experience memorable! He made us feel at home and explained a new, fancy drink he’d created. Highly recommend! It’s a safe bet for female patrons, too — no weirdos in site! I would come here solo without concern.
