Sophia Hotel was great. The room was large, breakfast was plentiful & yummy, staff was great. The complimentary laundry service was a wonderful treat. The area was good also - very near City Mall, which had a grocery store. Also, near Chef’s Pride, a very popular restaurant.
Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2019
