Hemet Vacations from ￥567,433

Quick stop, met our needs at a decent price and friendly staff.

A solid downtown base with a few caveats The Sofia does what it needs to do and does it well. The room was clean, the staff was genuinely friendly, and the location is hard to beat — right in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter, walking distance from restaurants, and a city bus stop. That said, a couple of things worth knowing before you book: the carpets and hallways carry a musty smell that reminds you this is an older building. And my room had no operable window — sealed shut, no fresh air whatsoever. For some that won’t matter, but if you like to crack a window at night, this isn’t the place. Overall, good value for the location. Just go in with the right expectations and you’ll be happy.

I had booked this hotel primarily for it being dog friendly and offering dog amenities like food and water bowls and a bed however since there is a new owner they don’t really offer anything. It is a pretty basic hotel with Lil to no amenities however, I will say that the king size bed I slept in, was very clean and comfortable.

Great location. Close to many restaurants and easy to get to other places in the city.

Everything was great, but breakfast was a bit meager. The waffles were good and it was a pleasant surprise to have them made for you. Real cream for the coffee would have been nice. Some fruit would have been nice too. Otherwise it was a pleasant stay!
