Favorite Hotel in Chula Vista

The property is old but very clean. The owners were very nice and treated me like family.

This was such a lovely place to stay. The owner was so kind and genuine. The patio area was so welcoming. I will stay again!

The staff (owner) was very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself was quaint and filled with history. We really enjoyed our stay and would gladly do it again!

Wonderful family owned hotel very well taken care of . Would I stay again?Absolutely!

It’s clean enough but the property isn’t as well maintained as it could be.

We enjoyed our stay! An antidote to a corporate hotel stay: human-scale, friendly, had character & history. Great location right near Chula Vista’s downtown strip (breweries, coffee shops, restaurants, park) — an unexpected surprise full of options but still very quiet and calm. The courtyard is a nice place to chill out. Perhaps the hotel has seen better days, but if you don’t mind things being a little rough around the edges, the character is worth it. Inkeepers added a personal touch that made us feel at home.

First the room we reserved was not available because the carpets were being cleaned so we were moved from a premium room to a tiny little room that you could barely turn around in. The room was not cleaned, trash emptied or towel changed for three days and only then after we complained. The owner offered mulitple excuses none were valud. We had stayed there before but trust me we won't stay there again.

Everyone was very friendly, made you feel right at home. It’s a charming hotel. Easy parking made it convenient. Small room, small bathroom, but that’s expected considering the age. It was roomy enough for my husband and I. It was clean and comfortable. Best ice machine too!!! I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel was nice and simple. Karen and Katie were very kind and friendly, and the staff made me feel at home.

The place is super cute and clean. Receptionist and owners are super sweet and attentive. I will definitely return!

Great little, historic hotel run by a local family.

All excellent

It was perfect everyone were nice there I recommend this place

Friendly people, walking distance to shops , restaurants. Clean. Quiet.

Just right! Simple, quaint, comfortable, friendly, easy. Perfect. in the support email they state "ARRIVE AS GUEST, LEAVE AS FRIENDS, COME BACK AS FAMILY" - I think this sums it up perfectly. When I need to stay down in this area again I'll definitely return to El Primero.

I like my stay at El Primero. The owner was very sweet and kind

Amazing customer service and beautiful property!

Friendly staff-clean room
