Great hotel, great staff it is close to the glasslamp quarter but be ready to pay additional fees not mentioned on Hotels.com. Parking fee, guess amenities fee, historical preservation fee, transient fee this adds to around $60 per day. I would still recommend this hotel but would be good for the site to mention additional fees.

Sofia is our go to hotel in Downtown San Diego - we live outside of the city and it’s our choose hotel for staycation. It located in walking distance from everything downtown (Gas Lamp, Little Italy, Embarcadero, Seaport Village, East Village, Petco, Rady Shell, Balboa Theater, Civic Theater, etc). The typically have the best rates of anywhere in the area and the rooms are clean. It isn’t as updated as other places in the area, but it is the best value we’ve found.
