Top Mid-City Hotel Reviews

The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room and property were great! Clean and friendly staff. Room was small but more than enough for a couple. Close enough to walk to many local bars and restaurants but far enough away from the lively areas to be quiet even with a room looking out directly over Broadway St. We didn't have a car so can't comment on parking. No complaints!"

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean room, central located to walking activities. It's nice to have a view of the bay but not nice to look onto the dirty roof tops of the buildings in front of us. That I do not know if they can do anything about. On a nicer note we spoke with a lovely lady about different eating places we could walk to, she even gave up a coupon to eat at a few that were in front of the hotel, down the water front."
