The Alcala Hotel Mission Valley/Seaworld

10/10 Excellent
"Jorge will and James ARE my absolute favorites although i’m not quite sure why, but it will be a mission of mine to figure it out because I will literally drive myself crazy until I do. I’m pretty sure that girl up there that works at the front desk. Just don’t like me for some reason and I don’t like that I’m a pretty likable person so it’s gonna drive me nuts until I figure it out just know that chick at the front desk."
