San Diego World Beat Center Hotels

"Hotel is located extremely close to the cruise ship terminal. Makes this a great choice for cruisers. "

"The Hotel Sofia is a great place to stay in downtown San Diego. Walking distance to anyplace you’d like to go. If not the trolley is just a block away. The staff is very friendly and answered any questions I had to my satisfaction. Will definitely be back. "

"Nice hotel. Clean and pleasent staff"

"The location can’t be. The hotels looking a bit worn. Most of the bars and restaurants weren’t open during a portion of my stay. The rooftop pool was OK, but the rest of the area looked very dated. My room was clean by the sink had significant water damage, and the wood was warped. It’s just looking at its age and needs a major overhaul."

"I booked this reservation over a month in advance, I’d like to say 2 months almost. Once I checked in, Owen helped me. He was rude off the start. I asked if there was a possibility of being in a room facing the city/ ocean side. He said the room he was giving me was their last one. I said if there’s anything he can find please, he chuckled and said there’s nothing left. I said ok and asked if the pool was working, he said no. I asked if he knew when it would be up and running again since I’d be there for more than one night. He said “I don’t know you could keep checking”. I was caught off guard but I had been on the road for so long so I brushed it off. He abruptly asked if I was parking in their garage, I asked if there was a fee. He said yes there’s an additional fee or if not I could find somewhere else. I asked if I’d be able to park outside and he said he said he didn’t know and to follow whatever the street signs say. I said okay and just grabbed my keys and went to my room. No friendliness, information about the amenities, parking, or my stay (unless I asked). The next day I had gone to the front desk to request more towels, as I waited in line overheard him speaking to a Spanish speaking older guest and as the guest was struggling to explain an issue. Owen looked at him and said “I can’t understand anything you’re saying”"

"Breakfast menu was good, we ate there twice. The nighttime menu was good we ate there once. The bridge across to stadium for baseball was good"

"Everything was great."

"Very nice room in a central location!"

"This is an enormous hotel. My room was large, and very clean and comfortable. I loved having the beautiful view of the bay. The shower was great (though the shower door did leak water onto the floor). My room was quiet - although there did seem to be lots of other people on my floor I never heard them from my room. I liked that it was easy to use my Netflix account on the TV in my room. I do wish the bedside light could be adjusted to be less bright. This is an expensive hotel. The most annoying part of staying here was the cheapness - it was annoying to pay a high fee for mediocre WiFi of dubious security. And the hotel restaurants are very pricey, and somehow the desk clerk pushed me into a pricey “Bonvoy” membership which cost about $50 a day and gave me not much in return. When you’re already paying a high room rate, who wants to feel like they’re trying to further gouge you at every turn? Overall this is a lovely place, I would stay here again. But I would resist the extra fees, they didn’t add much."
