We went for comic con and it was terrible probably one the worst hotel we’ve stayed at and we have been going for the past five years. The rooms are dated and tiny and the tv never worked the screen would just be blue even the the repairman was never able to fix it eventually we just stopped attempting to even watch the tv and even after this the manager still refused to switch our room. The view out was also terrible it just faces another room. Overall this hotel was overpriced and dated with non working tvs and tiny rooms.

"Burglar went into our room at night"

The hotel is very nice in general and good located. Unfortunately, the last night someone went in to our room and took my diamond ring. I left the ring at my bed table (I slept next to the door into the room). In the morning it was gone. We noticed things were different in the room for example my husband toilet bag was on the floor. The hotel staff helped us search the whole room for the ring. We asked if they could check the security cameras at our floor but they did not want to. With that said I just want you to use the security look for your safety.

"Average stay, great location"
TripAdvisor user rating 4.0 out of 5

It seems to be a remodel of an old apartment building so the rooms are very small and quite squished together, so if you're expecting a lot of room, you'll be mistaken. During my stay, there was a broken outlet in the bathroom, which made it very inconvenient to use the hair dryer. Other than this, it had everything you need for a typical stay. The location is its biggest selling point, being about a 10-12 minute walk to the convention center. It's located at a major street corner so finding a bus to go anywhere further than Little Italy, Seaport Village, or the convention center is easy. Very close to Gaslamp quarter but not close enough to hear a lot of noise at night.

The Sofia is a beautiful old hotel that has been updated, but still retains it's historical aspects. The hotel is close to the San Diego Convention Center and the Gaslamp. Rooms, while small, are very nicely finished out with and even include a steamer for your clothes, coffee maker, two bottles of wine reasonably priced for purchase, glass wine glasses and coffee cups, and oversized bath towels. The front desk will give you a complimentary metal bottle of water and has filling stations on the 3rd, 5th and 7th floors. The only downside of the property is that there is not currently a restaurant or bar in the hotel. However, they are currently renovating the space for the restaurant and bar and they will open shortly. There are plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
