Top hotels in Torrey Pines
The Sofia Hotel
"Very close to everything, unfortunately not as many facilities as would be expected for a hotel that costs so much. In fairness it is a nice historic building well located. The $75 per night deposit was a bit of a surprise and I don’t believe it is mentioned beforehand. I would stay there again however ..."
