Top Columbia Hotel Reviews

Bay Club Hotel & Marina

8/10 Good

"The room was clean the water pressure is very weak. The front check in staff and restaurant staff we are great. You cannot order or bring your own food to the pool. They said it takes from their restaurant business which is understandable. Just thought I would let others know since I found out the hard way by ordering pizza for delivery thinking I can enjoy by the pool. You cannot do that but you can enjoy in your room."

The Alcala Hotel Mission Valley/Seaworld

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay overall. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, and the property was in a convenient location with plenty of things nearby. The staff was friendly and helpful whenever I needed anything, and check-in and check-out were easy. I also appreciated how comfortable and welcoming the property felt throughout my stay. I would definitely consider staying here again and would recommend it to anyone visiting the area."
