Reviews for Alma San Diego, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
Highly Recommend for Events
We recently stayed here for our BlueModus Day work retreat, and everything about the experience was outstanding. The hotel is clean, beautiful, and clearly well-maintained, but what really stood out was the staff. Everyone was friendly and kind, and they made our two-day event seamless. A special shoutout to Yvette Martinez, Paula Arango-Quintero, and Yesika Lavyn, who went above and beyond in helping plan and execute our retreat—no detail was overlooked. The food was excellent, from our poolside reception dinner to each breakfast and lunch. This is not only a fantastic place to stay, but also an ideal venue for hosting events. Highly recommend.

Hotel excellent - Area frightening.
The hotel itself was excellent — the staff were friendly and helpful, the room was comfortable, and the service was great. However, the surrounding area felt unsafe. There were many homeless individuals openly using drugs nearby, which made the immediate vicinity uncomfortable and unsettling. Interestingly, just a few blocks away the environment felt calmer and more welcoming, but right around the hotel the atmosphere was concerning.

Great Place
This is my first time at the Alma. Such a nice hotel that made my vacation in SD great. Sophia checked us in and told us some great spots to check out, I will definitely be back!

Good costumer service
Angel in front desk helped me out so much and answered every question I had and request, such a sweet person. Was my first time in San Diego and he gave me such good places to visit. Great costumer service.

10/10!
My experience at the Alma was amazing! The rooms are beautiful! The drinks and calamari at the bar are worth noting as well. Sophia at the front desk was so pleasant she really kicked off my stay with a great start!
