Top Columbia Hotel Reviews

The Sofia Hotel

6/10 Okay

"The hotel is very well located in downtown and the rooms were very clean and super nice fluffy towels. Soap and shampoo in shower were very nice, but only a small bar of soap for the sink. This hotel does not have any catering/restaurant, so if you arrive late like we did there are no food options other than door dash. Rooms are small and walls are thin (had to bang on the wall at midnight because we could hear the Tv in the next room). Although there is coffee service in the room, they did not restock it until we asked (2 days later) and they did not restock creamer and sugar. TV selections were poor with no streaming options and seriously old cable options."

Paradise Point Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"The room was clean but mixed with some things new and other things old. Never had hot water for the shower however the shower was large. Our view was awesome loved watching all the sailboats, skiers, row boats, kayaks etc. We even seen a purpose. People with dogs let them poo without picking up not nice when it's in front of your room. "

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Really enjoyed our 1-bedroom suite at the Hard Rock. Room Service was excellent, along with the rest of the amenities. Very nice staff! You can't beat the location in downtown San Diego. Tons of things to do, shop, and eat near by. Maryjanes inside the hotel is a fantastic place to eat as well. "

The DEXTRO Little Italy, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Room was great. Had great views from the 16th floor. Bed was very plush and comfy! Great location. Very close to many restaurants a few streets down. Only down side I would say, is that they did not have any toiletries available in-room other than bar soap. Other than that, I would definitely stay again. "
