Top South Mission Beach Hotel Reviews

The Alcala Hotel Mission Valley/Seaworld

10/10 Excellent

"Completely refurbished, nice swimming pool, excellent value for money. Prefer king bedroom on the back of the hotel, they are more quiet."

California Suites Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and the housekeepers provided excellent service. My only complaint was the beds. The mattress was old and you can hear the spring pop. Other than that, the stay was good. I would stay again because of the convenience. I did have a good night sleep until I heard the spring pop. Didn’t use the pool or hot tub this trip."

Paradise Point Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed my time at paradise point hotel. I would say that my main complaint was the distance our room was away from the pool. Restaurants and the lobby. It made it a bit of a hassle, even with a vehicle. Plus the nightly fee of $45 for parking on top of an almost $50 resort fee per night was excessive and surprising. If staff were more willing to help give rides back and forth to our room it would have made my time here more relaxing. But with the heat, it wasn’t very enjoyable."
