The Sofia was wonderful to stay at. Rooms were small but the quality of amenities in them made you overlook the size of the room. Loved that it had a microwave. Easy parking. Walking distance to many city locations. Highly recommend.

Customer service was not very good. Valet was never outside, even when you waited awhile. They were not parking other cars- they were chatting with staff. Left the heaviest bag for me to put in the car. Hotel staff had me go into the office to put my luggage on the shelf instead of taking it in the office and storing it. The restaurant was being remodeled. Room was stuffy and clearly not stayed in or aired out for a long time
