The Sofia Hotel

8/10 Good

"Parking was easy. A little confusing but they did have an attendant out there who helped us out. "

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel San Diego - Mission Valley

8/10 Good

"I loved the resort ,the staff ,the room and cookies. The only issue we had is that we couldn’t enjoy the indoor pool to its full potential because there were having swim classes. I’m all for the swim classes but i dont think the classes should be given on a pool that its for our guest to enjoy to its full potential."

The DEXTRO Little Italy, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent

"room was clean bathroom also soaps provided dispensers clean. water temp and pressure was off but not enough to complain (at that time) parking was convent and safe (gated) but very small spaces. breakfast was simple but good. staff was friendly and helpful. was in walking distance (3 blocks) from the main part of little Italy. i reccommend and will be back"
