We stayed at The Sofia Hotel and overall had a very good experience. Compared to other hotels in the area, it’s a solid deal. The room wasn’t huge, but it was perfectly fine for a two‑day stay. The interior shows a bit of age, yet everything was functional and comfortable. The location is excellent — you can easily hop on the trolley to explore the city, and the train station is within walking distance. We even took the train back to LA, which was very convenient. A few small notes: the hairdryer could definitely be improved, but we were pleasantly surprised to find a microwave in the room, which was very handy. The highlight of our stay was the receptionist, who was incredibly accommodating and even let us check in early.

A century-old hotel with a rich history and an unbeatable location. The rooms are clean and luxurious. It's in the city center, so dining is very convenient, and it's not too far from the train station and the aircraft carrier, all within walking distance.
