I had never stayed in a boutique-type hotel before and had always wanted to so we booked here since we wanted to be downtown. I read all the reviews so I knew what to expect and there were no unpleasant surprises. But I was even more impressed with the quality and cleanliness of this hotel .. ESPECIALLY given the age of the building. There ...

My husband and I booked the Sofia Hotel last minute because we were spending a couple of days in San Diego. We didn't know what to expect before we got there, especially knowing it was downtown and seeing all kinds of interesting people hanging around. However, we were surprised and amazed at how nice the hotel was! The rooms are very, very ...

The decor was beautiful. Very hip and trendy. We stayed over Labor Day weekend and loved that we were so close to the Gaslamp District. But the rooms are tiny. The front door opens and there is the bathroom sink. There is no counter space, only one hook to hang a towel and we had to search for over 10 minutes to find it! The shower looks nice with ...

The rooms were tiny, but the style was great. I'm not sure why someone disliked the shower, while staying there I never managed to get more than a few drops of water outside the shower. They give you floor mats for a reason :)

My main thing was the fact that our room was haunted. It was on the sixth floor, and during the night, the lights ...

We stayed here one night before leaving on a cruise ship. We chose the Sofia because it had been recently redone and because it seemed to centrally located. The room was small but adequate. We could not figure out how to work the TV and there were no instructions or TV guide. The restaurant was not open yet but there was a coffee shop next door and a Wendy's across the street.

After reading positive reviews, I decided to give the Sofia a try for two recent biz trips. Not a good choice. For $9.99 a day, the internet connection, when it was working, was painfully slow. Va;et parking is a hefty $25.00 per night. The long awaited restaurant is still not open so there is no room service nor a bar. When checking in on one ...

We had a great stay at the Sofia hotel. The hotel is beautifully designed and the staff is friendly. Although the rooms are a bit small, they have everything that you need. The location of the hotel is very good as well.

Would definitely stay here again.

We booked this hotel based on the price and the fact that it had recently been remodeled. The service was great! It was a little misleading when I booked the reservation. I booked two rooms for two families, both with small children. The rooms were extremely small and so were the elevators. Also, the bathroom is a shower only and only has a partial ...

I'm not sure exactly why there are reviews of a hotel called "The Pickwick," which people dislike so much on this thread, but when I recently stayed at the new Sofia I was extremely pleased with the quality of the rooms, location and the price I paid.

The hotel is still not 100% complete - at the time of my stay they were still ...
