Nice hotel
Great hotel room small but cosy and comfortable
mary, au1 night family trip
Fair
Great Location but major drawbacks
We were very disappointed to pay over $240 for one night in a very cramped room. There was a further $13 charge for amenities like bottled water! The shower was quite narrow and only half screened resulting in a large puddle and soaking bathmat. The toilet was lower than usual making for difficult sitting. The 'city view' consisted of the office block across the street. The friendly service and late checkout saved the Sofia from a total pasting in this review plus the free guided walk and history talk of the downtown Gaslamp Quarter on weekend mornings.

Very good
Good for a business trip.
The staff was extremely friendly and hospitable. The hotel itself is very clean and nicely decorated. Only complaint is that although the a/c was working it did not cool off the room very well and it was stuffy. Other than that a one night stay was not bad.

Exceptional
I always choose to stay at the Sophia when i am in San Diego. Staff is friendly, rooms are clean and comfortable, and the attached restaurant is very good.
DEBORAH, us1 night business trip
Poor
Bug and filth infested
I have stayed in hotels in 3rd world countries that have been cleaner that The Sofia was. The only reason I chose this place is because ~6 years ago or a bit longer it was a so-so boutique hotel. Clearly they have gone down hill rapidly. I was very nervous sleeping in the bed and the morning after my nerves proved for a good reason (see photo). This FAKE Eyelash was found in my bed leaving me to believe the linens haven't been changed for who knows how long. The floor they put us on was filthy and under construction. the size of the room was hardly functional and the toilet was so low to the ground my elderly mother fell multiple times just to sit on the pot!

Low to mediocre
Small interior room. Window few feet from next wall and window. Had to leave AC off at night, too loud. Carpet old looks dirty.
Martin, us3 night business trip
Very good
San Diego location hotel.
Great location & the onsite restaurant The Currant made amazing Beignets, breakfasts & happy hour cocktails!! 7th floor was undergoing bathroom upgrades as we left. Our room had a rather uncomfortable bed & was a tad small But all in all experience was good.
Kathryn, ca4 night trip
Very good
No door 🚪
Loved the room we had the king suite but ..... No door for any privacy and the bath door was not very good... always getting stuck. Other than that we had a great stay there
