We loved our stay at the Sofia Hotel. It was a great location. Super central to everything we wanted to see. And the hotel itself was beautiful.

Location was very convenient to the areas of San Diego that we wanted to visit (little Italy and petco stadium). Room was a bit cozy, but very clean and stylish. Staff was friendly and helpful. Also enjoyed the restaurant off the lobby. Only complaint is the elevator is small, but it's a historic building so kind of expected.
