"Convenient Location, but Not Quite a “Suite” Experience"
TripAdvisor user rating 3.0 out of 5
Reviewed July 23, 2025 NEW
The Sofia Hotel was clean and conveniently located, which we appreciated. However, there were several downsides to our stay. There’s no restaurant on-site, which wasn’t a major issue overall, but after a long day of driving and being at the beach, we would have preferred the option to dine in without having to leave the hotel again. The A/C was extremely loud—it made it difficult to get a good night's sleep. The bathroom door offered almost no privacy, as it was partially see-through. There were no complimentary waters in the room, which felt like a small but noticeable miss. Also, we booked what was described as a suite, but there was no door separating the bedroom from the sofa bed. Our daughter could see directly into the bedroom, which defeated the purpose of booking a suite for added space and privacy. Overall, it was a decent stay for the location and cleanliness.

The 7th floor is amazing, the staff was gracious and friendly and I love staying here. The Nespresso Machines and coffee in each room make this such an amazing experience and I highly recommend.
