While staying here, I was impressed with nearly everything The Sofia had to offer from the gorgeous rooms, the hotels view, helpful staff, and even complementary goodies in the lobby. I will say I was not a fan of having learning that you must pay to park here as it’s not included in your reservation. I also felt the property lacked more amenities for its guests like a hot tub or even a sort of breakfast voucher for their new restaurant downstairs. Overall, me and my plus one had a fantastic opportunity to stay here. 7.5/10

This hotel was so cute. The lobby to the rooms to the restaurant in the front were all adorable. Ian & Martha at the front desk were awesome! And Mark at the Bar was amazing. The room was great and the microwave and fridge are always awesome to have in a room. I stayed in a renovated room on the top floor and had a view of the ocean from my room. You can hear the noise on the street but its normal in a busy city and wasn't to bad at night. The location of the hotel is great. Its a 15min walk to the boardwalk with restaurants and activates to do. Most places are an 10-20 Lyft ride away and the bus is $2.50 and 10mins away from the airport. The only Cons: * The air conditioner had a mind of its own. It would cut off and on and change the temp setting all the time. Kinda annoying but I got a fan from the front desk when I went to tell them about it and they came up with it within 10mins. One night I was frozen and the next it wouldn't stay on. * The shower didn't drain correctly the 1st 3 times I used it so I was standing in water but it never collected enough to run over. * The walls are thin so if you have loud talking neighbors you will hear them. luckily the loud people next to me were only there my 1st night and weren't up past 12am. Overall it was a great and I will definitely stay there again if I have the chance. So if you are thinking about booking here do it!! Call ahead of time to ask about the deposit details!

The hotel is a beautiful old hotel. The rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. The problem I had was the first room they put me in was right next to the elevators. The elevator doors were very squeeky, and they kept me up all night every time they opened and closed. I complained and they moved my room. The next room they put me in had a faulty coffee maker. The toilet also didn't flush. Those two issues were solved on day two of my 3 night stay. However, I came back from the convention center after work on day two, and my room was not cleaned. I came back at 3pm. I did complain and the manager offered to move me to a suite for my last night, but I refused as I didn't want to pack and unpack again, just for one night. She said she would give me her card for an upgrade on my next stay but she never gave me the card.

The staff were very nice and helpful. We had a 2 double bed room in this historic hotel which was very unique and neat to be in, but also meant very small room. We struggled for space. Finally put one suitcase on the desk and one under the desk with some chair negotiating. The a/c was loud and didn’t work the first night, but they quickly took care of that while we were out. Thankfully it was too hot of a day that day.

Stayed on a business trip beginning of June. Great location, walking distance to little Italy, Gaslamp District and waterfront with many dining options. Staff was polite and helpful. There is a small gym at the hotel but there are options close by. The property is an old, historic building that is maintained well. If you are a light sleeper you might find the location a bit noisy early in the morning but I was ok with that. Overall good experience.
