The Sofia Hotel
The room was very cute and boutique like; great for a one night stay. Impressed with the Nespresso machine and a local winery bottle of Chardonnay in the room. Staff were amazing!

Wyndham San Diego Bayside
Clean, great check in. The sheets had a scent which really bothers me as I am chemically sensitive. Wish you could eliminate the scents in sheets and towels. I like the bathroom lighting, just enough, not overly bright. Same with room.

Sentral Gaslamp Quarter
Shame the housekeepers didn’t provide proper bathroom tissues, warm water showers until my 5th morning at 4:00 am. Street weepers at 3:30 every morning. Otherwise convenient
