Wouldn’t stay here again. Located at the very end of a street that is not well lit. When I checked in I immediately felt unsafe. I almost left. After I checked in (front desk person was very nice). I was directed to the back of the hotel. Which was dark and hard to access. I had to zigzag up to the 4th floor where there was a group of men loitering in front of their room. Also the elevator was draped in construction type blankets. Pool was closed (no prior info was disclosed about the closed pool). The room was small and clean. Tv did not work! Stains on the wall in the shower. Coffee maker didn’t work. Do not recommend.

The Alcala, formerly known as The Riverleaf Inn, is definitely an underrated hotel gem in San Diego. With new management and newly renovated facilities, I couldn't be happier with the stays I have had. While its location may seem a bit off the beaten trail at first glance, it's literally a 15-minute drive away from just about everything San Diego has to offer. The upgraded rooms, new 24-hour common dining area, as well as a continental breakfast that has a myriad of options from delicious waffles to easy grab-and-go options like string cheese and yogurts, have been welcomed surprises. The new management has definitely done wonders for the aesthetics, overall comfort, and security of the hotel, but my main reason for staying here has always been the exceptional staff. Raul, the morning front desk manager, is an integral part of this hotel and exudes professionalism, patience, and flexibility when dealing with patrons. He is wonderful, not only to chat with when checking in or out, but also goes above and beyond to meet the needs of the people staying at the hotel. He is a huge reason why I keep coming back to this hotel and has always made me feel welcomed and appreciated. The house staff is diligent and professional, and I appreciate all they do. I highly recommend The Alcala Hotel for anyone looking to stay in San Diego. Raul and the rest of the staff will definitely make sure your stay is comfortable, safe, and enjoyable.
