Reviews of The Sofia Hotel 4 stars

Vintage hotel located in a fun location. Walking distance to most attractions.

Room was very small, walls were not sound proof. Room next to us was a little noisy.

Hotel was clean , comfortable and at a good location close to the Gaslamp District.

Room was small and bathroom was tiny. Parking was too expensive.

The room was recently remodeled.

Should be security due to the area. And our neighbor were so loud and fighting and throwing things with loud music shouldn't have to report what is obvious.

Location.

Sofa bed not made up for our daughters, no batteries in either tv controller, asked for a second coffee cup as only one in the room which never materialised. The air conditioner was so loud we all had a really poor night’s sleep. We turned it off and it was still noisy. It was hot in the room so we had to turn it back on.

The location, the vicinity to cafes and restaurants, and the presence of water fountains around the hotel.

The room was cleaned every other day, which is fine, but they had a tendency to arrive in the afternoon, and so my room was not clean on my last day.

Location

Air conditioning is too loud

The hotel is in a nice location that is within walking distance (about 10-15 minutes) from the convention center. The room was clean and updated, although very small.

The room was very small, and the shower did not drain effectively. The staff is not honest: When we arrived, they told us they could bill us for the lot behind the hotel at 40/night. I asked if there were other nearby lots for less, and they said they had no knowledge of that. In the morning, I was able to see that there were three nearby lots, one across the street, all half the price. If you can't say, then say that, don't lie and say you don't know about the lot directly across the street for half the price. Next, the hotel refused to provide an invoice for the stay. Because this was a work trip, the lack of an invoice caused serious issues getting reimbursement for the stay from my work. I would stay away if you are traveling for work.

Nice location, candy at the front desk, good light blocking curtains

Room was small and dirty (carpet not cleaned and had dirt and little things left behind from other guests), small closet that was hard to close. No place to put stuff for 3 people.

Location

No dining , rooms are amall

Property and staff was great

Restaurant was closed

Close to Convention and beach

We got an upgrade to the newly remodeled 7th floor. It was beautiful

In the new room there was no microwave. We had one last time we stayed. We went out to eat and had leftover food that we brought back expecting there would be a microwave that we could heat it up the next day. And there was not. So the food had to be thrown away. Also our second night the air conditioning was not working. It was not blowing cold air. The first night it worked beautifully was very cold. But the second night it was not. We stayed in room 728. We did mention it to the front desk as we checked out.

Beautiful hotel. The first room we were in the AC wasn’t working. The staff let us switch rooms and even upgraded us into a bigger room free of charge!

Only thing I didn’t like was the price honestly. It’s a bit pricey but the location is great.
