Amazing Service- THANK YOU!
Our stay at the Alma was absolutely incredible. After a horrific experience at an Airbnb, we made the reso at Alma, and Nina at the front desk could have not been more wonderful in accommodating us. Nina is literally a superstar who is kind, caring and offers top tier customer service. Our stay at Alma turned what could have been a ruined trip into an amazing weekend in San Diego! Thank you Nina!

I stay here for a weekend trip and it was truly amazing. The property is beautiful, staff was incredible, the location was perfect, close enough to the night life but far enough where you aren’t in the middle of it. Will definitely be staying here again.
