I had a pleasant stay at The Sofia Hotel, appreciating its prime downtown location and comfortable room. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially when I encountered a minor issue with the television. However, I did find the room a bit on the smaller side, and it would have been nice to have more amenities available since Currant Restaurant was closed during my visit.
