This May we traveled to San Diego. The first two nights we stayed at the Tower23 Hotel in Pacific beach. We had a great room with a balcony for $269 a night. The third night we moved to the Sofia hotel downtown and payed $249. $28 for parking. This hotel is nice and clean, but the rooms are very small,... more

We stayed at The Sofia Hotel for a week in september 2008 and enjoyed it very much. The room was very clean, and restocked every day - as can be expected by a professional and well trained housekeeping staff. The front desk was very friendly and helpful. The location is within walking distance from the action in the Gaslamp Quarter.... more

Staff was very friendly and genuinely hospitable. Check in/out was very easy. What made this stay great actually started out as a bad situation. After letting the hotel know that the noisy college students were keeping us up, they did everything they could to make our stay better. A manager followed up and compensated us for our trouble. This is... more

My sister and I stayed at The Sofia for four nights. The staff was very helpful, the rooms were clean, beds were comfortable, and the location was perfect for our needs. Walking distance (but not in the hubbub) of the Gaslamp area, walking distance to Little Italy and Seaport Village, great location for catching the bus or trolley. I found... more

I choose the Sofia because I wanted a hotel in/near the gaslamp district and it was the only one I was able to find for a reasonable price that wasn't a total dump. While the hotel is located right near the gaslamp there are definately some scary-ish homeless/crazies wandering around over there. But then again, they are also all over... more

This hotel is located close to the local courthouse and detention center. At night I could hear police sirens. The hotel is nice and clean inside, but the room that we stayed in was very small. We had two full/double beds and it would be generous to say there was 3 feet of space to walk in anywhere in the... more

I visit San Diego regularly and keep on the lookout for reasonably priced lodging convenient to mass transit. It would be difficult to do better than this. If you're expecting the usual McHotel, however, this is not it. My room was small, bordering on tiny, with a view of an air shaft. But it was well-organized, with features you might... more

The hotel was ok, but be sure that you can find a better hotel with the same money that you spend there. more

This hotel has its positives and negatives. The rooms are tiny but the bed is super comfortable. If you get a room facing the street it gets very noisy, if you get a room facing the inside they're quiet. The staff provides excellent service. It is blocks from the Gas Lamp district where there are many restaurants. However, it's right... more
