Top Lake Murray Hotel Reviews

The Alcala Hotel Mission Valley/Seaworld

10/10 Excellent

"The area is a bit tricky at night but not difficult to get too. If you go too far you end up making a u turn at the baseball field. They offered late night check in, before 1 am. But I called just in case because we were at seaworld. I liked the security of using your room key to get in and out of the parking lot. The pool was well maintained and had lots of floaties to use. This is one of the rare ones with a laundry facility. The front desk is so kind and very attentive. I like that the rooms felt secure and very similar to the photos. Great stay and I would definitely book here again. The location is quite central to a lot of things we wanted to do"

The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was the perfect place to stay as it is at the top of the Gaslamp District in San Diego. Walking distance to Petco Park, the San Diego Convention Center, and the Navy Pier. Plus is just blocks from my San Diego office. Great and Helpful staff and they are always ready to get you directions to the best for or experiences within walking distance and beyond."

Lafayette Hotel & Club

8/10 Good

"I loved this hotel! My only (but a major) complaint is that it was impossible to get time by the pool. People claimed all the lounge chairs early in the morning and stayed all day. One of the main reasons we chose to stay here was the beautiful pool, but there was no organized system for hotel guests to be able reserve a spot or to limit the amount of time people can use the lounge chairs. It was very disappointing. But everything else was great."

San Diego Mission Bay Resort

8/10 Good

"Overall, the resort was wonderful. We really enjoyed the pool and activities for kids. The room was big and also well maintained. Relatively affordable for the area. Just had some cons which is what lowered my rating. The room did not have a microwave and our TV was glitchy. The location on Mission Bay is not the best as there is nothing walkable (the active part of Mission Bay is on the other side). Fun hotel though."

California Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful quiet private stay! Cute fountain to take pics in front of for us tourists. Ice machine that works! Awesome pool that isn’t crowded and has space to actually swim. Hot tub that gets hot. The room was clean but the bathroom was iffy. Hair on the shower curtain and what looked like pubic hair on the toilet seat and floor. I always carry Lysol wipes when we travel so it was no huge problem for us but others may not hesitate to complain. Also I’m a janitor, I know people tend to slack on cleaning the restrooms no matter where you’re at lol. Front desk was quick and friendly and let us check in about 30 mins early. The bed was hard on us but hotel beds are pretty notorious for not being very comfortable so what are ya gonna do. All in all.. we would stay here again. It’s close to a lot of touristy stuff and had free parking."
