Setai San Diego

This boutique hotel is a hidden gem. It is in walking distance to the Convention Center and the shoreline. One of the most pleasant portfolio rooms in which I have ever stayed. The breakfast was amazing and included as part of my Marriott status. Any asssitance needed was just a minute away.

What can we say about our stay at The Alma, except that is was exceptional! Upon arriving, we were met with a lovely charcuterie plate and treats in our room set up by Ana & Lena, who had also upgraded us to a suite (with a Nespresso machine??? Yesss!). The front desk staff were always friendly, including Jorge, Tre, Axel, and, we’re not biased, but Grace is the best (haha, she’s our daughter). Kudos to Ericka for the fabulous coffee and thrift store recs (that we ran out of time for sadly). Miriam did an amazing job keeping our room fresh, she even folded my son’s pj bottoms. 😂 All in all, y’all made our stay memorable in the best way. We can’t wait to book a return!

The staff here were nothing short of superb. Grace welcomed me, remembered it was my birthday and sent me to my room with a snack bag and some wine! I was blown away at the level of friendliness and service at the Alma.

Our group travels on a baseball trip every year. This hotel experience has been the best. The room and views were extraordinary. The room (and hotel) were extremely cleanly and the hospitality of all employees were second to none, friendly and accommodating. As an example, we asked the front desk for some extra towels on our way up to the room. The attendant was at our room before we got there. Everything was nearby and easily accessible by walking. Breakfast in the cafe was sogood we ate there twice. And usually we choose to eat local when our trips. The Avocado toast and french toast were a big hit. I have never written a review before on tripadvisory and felt it necessary for this hotel on this occasion.

Overnight stay in Downtown SD at the Alma was excellent! Staff is friendly, helpful and the amenities are not lacking. Rooms, restaurant and location is perfect for a night out with a comfortable and quiet room to rest. Pleasantly surprised and pictures don't do the rooms justice as is for the entire property. It's a must see. Modern with a warmth to it and a welcoming atmosphere. Will definitely stay again. Thank you.
