Lack of cleanliness. The pillow shams had stains on them that appeared to be like old blood stains and there was dust all over. The bed were super uncomfortable and not enough pillows.

The staff was amazing, the lobby very inviting, and the location was perfect. We were able to walk to all the nightlife, down to the marina, and enjoy everything Downtown San Diego has to offer.

The room was a little small but had everything we needed for a girls weekend. There were 3 of us in a room with 2 double beds. We were really only in the room to change clothes and sleeps so it worked out fine.

Our goal was to find a hotel close to The Spreckles Theater and convenient to the Santa Fe Train Depot. The Sofia Hotel is a few blocks from the station and just across the street from the theater. What a pleasant surprise!
