Santa Ysabel Mission

Conveniently located The Sofia Hotel was a great choice to stay while visiting San Diego. The room was very clean and nicely decorated. Parking is available behind the hotel building, We paid 40.00 USD per day. No need to pay extra for vallet parking as the parking lot is a few steps away from main entrance. If you don't want to drive around, there is easy access to public transportation Public transportation and many dining options within walking distance. I will definitely stay here again.

Very nice! Would stay at again.

A few days prior to our arrival, they offered to upgrade us to a 2 bedroom suite with ocean views for an extra $40. We got basically a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo in the bungalow section of the hotel with a kitchenette, two balconies, and ocean views. That part was excellent. It feels like about half of the hotel has been renovated and half is in desperate need of renovation. Unfortunately, our suite was in the part that needs reno. The couch was kinda old and not super comfortable. The bathroom light in one of the bathrooms was a little touchy; the switch had to be wiggled a bit at times to get it to actually turn on. There were no light switches on walls and no overhead lights, so the place felt a little dark at night. The service was excellent and we loved using the heated pool and hot tub each night! The property is very close to this little sea lion cove, children's beach (seals), and very walkable to lots of different restaurants. If we stay here again, we may try to request one of the more updated rooms. Overall, the hotel is great, but very outdated.
