Top Whaley House Museum Hotel Reviews

The Alcala Hotel Mission Valley/Seaworld

8/10 Good

"The staff are excellent, especially behind the front desk went out of there way to help had a group of 7 showed up early stored are luggage safely behind the counter and found us a nice restaurant for lunch. The hotel was recently remodeled so they are still working out some of the kinks that didn't get finished, the pool and hot tub are nice, the exercise room could use updated equipment and another tread mill but it got the job done, my only complaint is towels are too small and they don't clean the bathrooms everyday you have to call."
