"This was a business trip so the lodging was not incredibly important. This location was about what you'd expect if you are not planning to be in the room very often. It's moderately run down, the water pressure is terrible (this may be a California thing), the microwave in our room was broken, and those staying there were somewhat sketchy. The staff was adequate and nice. I personally won't stay there again."

"The windows made the weekend!"

The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"They were great! We arrived early, but they allowed us to drop off our luggage with them so we could go explore until check in time. They offered to let us check in earlier for a small fee, but we wanted to go walk around and explore anyway. So, it didn’t make sense to do that, but the option to do so was nice."
