It’s a great location and it’s a good hotel…road noise from room was annoying even on 7th floor. Should have stayed on other side away from street. Easy walk to everything even convention center was fine.

Excellent stay!
Loved my stay at the Sofia Hotel! I visited San Diego for a concert and it was very close to the venue and other fun places. Would definitely stay here again.
Kaiyah, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel is ok, expensive for what it is. Staff is young and inexperienced. I think the times that hotels like this hired staff that got education in hospitality is long gone. The room was nice but bathroom was dusty .The coffee machine only had 3 decaf bags of coffee most likely left over from people who did not want it. Parking is expensive.
Ildiko, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

First stay
This is one of the nicer hotels I've stayed at and I've traveled a lot. A short walk from Santa Fe Station and from downtown San Diego Gaslight district.
JAMES, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Bad WiFi, but convenient
Only stayed for one night, but I went up having to leave the hotel for a shared workspace other than work from my room, which would’ve been more convenient. Had it not been for the poor Wi-Fi that kept cutting out. Because of this and the room was pretty average in all aspects I would not stay there again especially for work
