The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time staying at the Sofia Hotel. We lived on their 7th floor which was recently updated. The hotel is very clean, great service. Love that it has a water filling station and access to nespresso pods. The restaurant downstairs is also great. Also liked the location, so close to everything but still quiet enough to rest!! Highly recommend ✨"

San Diego Mission Bay Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect"

The Dana on Mission Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is wonderful, just know that if you stay in a room with a bay view in the 1000 building, it faces a public park where they party loudly, camp, and have fires going which makes your room smell like smoke. They were very accommodating and moved us to another room though."
