Kimpton Alma San Diego

5 out of 5! Are at the Alma restaurant and the food was amazing. The Cesar salad was delicious and had sliced sardines (much more delicious than it sounds!). Even better, Ellie provided excellent service and was very professional, attentive and friendly. Highly recommended!

The alma is such a beautiful and well run hotel. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I enjoyed my time here. Rooms are spacious, cafe is very nice and convenient. I would definitely reccomend it to anyone visiting downtown san diego

I rarely write reviews, but after my stay at Alma, I feel it's important for other travelers to know what to expect before booking. Unfortunately, this hotel didn't meet my expectations for a four-star experience. The Cafe: The hotel offers a $35 per room dining credit, which is essentially an amenity fee, but there's only one place where you can use it – the cafe. This cafe is so busy that when I tried ordering room service, it took over 30 minutes just to place my order – and this happened two days in a row. If you decide to dine in, expect significant delays in getting your food as well. Parking: The valet parking is $60 per night, which is already quite high. Even though I called the front desk 15 minutes ahead to have my car ready, I still had to wait downstairs for it. The Rooms: I stayed in connecting rooms. The non-accessible room was small, and the shower design was strange. The half-glass partition left the entire bathroom floor soaked and slippery after every shower. Checkout: Make sure to thoroughly check your bill before leaving. In my case, they forgot to apply my Amex credit in one room, and in the other, they missed applying a $35 dining credit. Traveling with a toddler is challenging enough, and unfortunately, my experience at this hotel only made things more frustrating.

Decided to stop in for a drink with my wife and let me tell you if you want to crack up with jokes and be served some drinks that are unique and good I would definitely stop in here. Rooster our sever made us laugh so much we will definitely be coming back!

Popped into Alma to have a few drinks while we were enjoying SD. Rooster not only was awesome, his character and funny personality was so amusing, he kept us long past our “one drink” stop and stayed for hours!! We will be back for sure. Please list his working hours for us so that we can plan around his schedule!!
