The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel, but ice was not easy to get...only starting on the 6th floor. But the spagetti factory on the back side of the hotel was very convenient. also, across the street from the HUGE San Diego convention center(5 stories tall), do not take the stairs over the top middle, go around south end to get to "the Shell" for concerts! ***There is also a 24/7 Subway sandwich store AND a mini mart on the back of the next block that was also very convenient, as most of the places (like CVS) in the area close at 7pm, other than bars and clubs. Do NOT take "pedicabs" VERY EXPENSIVE $40/person!"
