Johnsondale Holidays from £860

This was a stopover for us and totally fit our needs. Building is old and dated, but very clean and convenient. Beds and pillows comfy. A must when you need to rest up from travels. Space is limited, especially in the free breakfast area. Pack and go is best . Front desk friendly, but it appeared that international Travellers had a bit of prearranged lack of communication. Not sure who's error hear. But that led to a delay with our check-in process, and a good deal of empathy for Int'l guests trying to check in. A note to such Travellers, be very clear on check-in requirements when booking. Especially related to form od payments and alterations to booking. Other than that, cleanliness was most important to us as weary Travellers

Solid hotel.

The staff was very helpful in providing a room before the usual 4:00PM check-in time. We were able to get situated, freshen up, rest and get ready for the Padres vs Dodgers game. The room was very clean, brought up to date and extremely comfortable. I love the fitness and yoga rooms. The location of Hotel Sofia is perfect; a nice equidistant walk to Little Italy, Gaslamp and the water.

Breakfast option

Great resort in Long Beach outside of city but within easy drive and walk to many restaurants and attractions. Exceptional room with view, staff very personable and accommodating. Enjoyed the restaurant for drinks and dinner and have no significant issues with our stay. Really excellent venue with great ‘beach’ pool and views. I would recommend better in room, heavy towels for this caliber hotel. Our initial room did not have a view, actually looked out to a ‘garden’ tree which if we had stayed longer also would have been overview of a wedding. We booked via 3rd party which is maybe why room did not have view and management could have easily comped our upgrade as it was special occasion and hotel not fully occupied however we do understand bottom line. Lobby staff were helpful and extra nice for checking-out with clean spacious rooms and spectacular grounds. There are not many places near the hotel for snacks and the lobby has limited and pricey options, so stock up on your way. Self- parking fee is a bit much. Highly recommended staying here if in the area.
