My stay at The Sofia Hotel had its highs and lows. The hotel's historic charm and prime downtown location were definitely highlights, making it easy for me to explore nearby attractions. However, my experience was marred by some significant service issues, including an incident where I was given keys to an occupied room, which was quite alarming. Overall, while I appreciated the friendly atmosphere and the gorgeous architecture, the service left much to be desired. 😕

My stay at The Sofia Hotel had its ups and downs. The staff was friendly and helpful, which made check-in a breeze (even during these times!). However, my room was quite small and had some inconvenient features that impacted my overall comfort.

During my stay at The Sofia Hotel, I appreciated the hotel’s clean and historic charm, though I felt the overall value for the price could use some improvement. The location is totally a win, with easy access to the harbor and Gaslamp district. On the downside, the room I got was quite small, and there were some unwelcome inconveniences like a lack of proper space management in the room. Overall, I had a decent experience but would like to see more thoughtful amenities next time.

My stay at The Sofia Hotel had its ups and downs. I loved the prime location, just a short walk to the Gaslamp district, and the helpful staff made my check-in smooth. However, the room was quite cramped and had some issues, like the poor water pressure in the shower and unreliable WiFi. Overall, it was an average experience, but I probably wouldn't stay here again.

The room was small and I entered directly into the bathroom, which felt awkward. The shower was pretty, but the water pressure was disappointing, drizzling weakly. On the positive side, the bed was comfortable, though there was hardly any space to move around.

While the hotel restaurant was closed, I was glad to have a Starbucks nearby for some quick coffee options, even if it was pick-up only. It was a bit limiting, but I found it manageable.

The gym had a decent setup with a few machines, but I noticed a lack of sanitizing supplies, which was odd. Additionally, it was frustrating that there was no WiFi in my room, but I enjoyed the flavored water available on my floor.
