Santa Barbara Urban Wine Trail Holidays from £1,018

Mi hijo Jorge esposa e hijo se hospedaron, me informaron que todo estuvo muy bien en hotel Sofia,

Impecable place. Great roof top bar. I hear the sky room is just as good.

Great location and good breakfast

Great property with large rooms close walking distance to the Santa Monica Beach. Good amenities and friendly hotel service provided.

Honest review: Pros: Very near UCLA, staff was nice, bed was quite comfortable, internet was fast enough to stream a movie on my laptop, room was clean, free breakfast (would have preferred more protein, but it was free after all), valet was very quick with my car, reasonable price given how many other hotels nearby are outrageously priced, clearly they use dehumidifiers to keep the humidity level managed (nice for us given we come from a drier climate and aren’t used to the humidity), the staff reached out in advance to see if I had any special requests before arrival Cons: Next to the freeway and traffic goes all night (we were on the freeway side) - manageable with earplugs or if you are a heavy sleeper; no shower door or curtain so good luck keeping water fully in the shower and it was impossible not to be cold while showering; the toilet paper holder was not stable; no microwave to reheat food we brought with us; BIGGEST complaint…the A/C unit was so loud it sounded like an airplane engine starting up and we were forced to turn off the A/C so that we could sleep without being woken every hour. All other inconveniences were minor compared to that. I really hope they fix/upgrade their units. Would I stay again? Yep. Would I make sure to have earplugs? Big YEP! Would I prefer them to have a maintenanced/quieter Air conditioner? Giant YEP!!
