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.

I enjoyed my stay at The Sofia Hotel, appreciating its unique historic charm and prime downtown location. The staff were genuinely friendly and attentive, which made my experience more pleasant.

Currently, there's no restaurant or bar on-site, which was a bit disappointing, but I appreciated that nearby dining options were plentiful. I can't wait to see what the new restaurant will be like once completed.

During my stay at The Sofia Hotel, I appreciated the cozy charm of the historic hotel and the friendly, helpful staff.
