Top San Diego Hotel Reviews

The Sofia Hotel

8/10 Good

"Our travel was doing the hottest week in San Diego. The AC at the hotel was really struggling to keep up. We did have to switch rooms because the air conditioning didn’t work in the first room, but they were able to accommodate us into a new suite. The hallways were darker than expected. John at the front desk made our stay brighter. Definitely gave recommendations for food and attractions nearby. Convenient location to the Embarcadero, the trains, and all public transportation, which was nice to be able to walk and get to so many places. Also, the Truva restaurant in the hotel is amazing. The food was better than expected. And the restaurant staff were awesome as well. Didn’t expect to pay a “resort fee” … there were not any amenities that were used."
