- The shower was not draining properly and any use of it over 3 minutes would have flooded the bathroom. - The TV was working on/off all the time. - Closet doors were so badly adjusted that I thought they breank when opening them, very noisy and not practical. - Half the numbers on the safe were not working Bathroom door was very noisy and almost coming off the track on opening - Staff was very polite but probably one of the worst room I ever had, specially for that kind of money.

The hotel was clean, quiet and well located. The room was small. Sadly San Diego has a big problem with homelessness. Restaurants in the area close at 9pm!

As always, the staff is very friendly. The cleanliness of the room was surprisingly bad and the smell in the corridor on the 7th floor where my room was located was horrible.

Lovely hotel
The Sofia is a lovely boutique hotel located only 10 minutes walk from the Santa Fe railway station and 15 minutes to the cruise port. Our corner room was beautifully decorated, and our bed was super comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Not exactly welcoming on check in and in general we were disappointed with the room Small and dark, pillows were possibly the worst I've had at a hotel Tv didn't work and despite maintenance fixing it the remote still wouldn't turn volume up and down or the tv on or off Saving grace was that it is an fantastic location for exploring all directions of San Diego
