2/10 Poor

Park area is safe. Staff was friendly.
Miguel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

As two young girls traveling solo, staying somewhere safe and comfortable is a top priority. El Primero Hotel had the perfect balance of a warm, welcoming staff with comfortable rooms, along with a vintage, but updated, atmosphere. The family running the hotel was so kind! Anything we needed was met in five minutes or less. Thank you for a wonderful stay! <3

Maricruz, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Nice but could be nicer

It’s clean enough but the property isn’t as well maintained as it could be.
Rosi, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Charmed in Chula Vista

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Richard, 2-night trip

Super nice people and nice facility
shawn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were very friendly and courteous. We arrived rather late at night and did not call to give them a heads up. They were apologetic for giving us a smaller room than normal but it was our fault and not theirs.They make you feel at home. It is a nice hotel
Lauro, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The owner took such personal care of me while my husband was in a nearby hospital. I recommend the hotel for anyone wanting a quiet stay.
