Nice but could be nicer

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

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

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

8/10 Very good

A really cute family run place with a lot of nostalgia. Comfortable, basic and I loved the feel of the place. Quiet neighborhood. Would recommend.
Sarah, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

I would recommend. It was a nice place with friendly staff and clean rooms. The bathrooms are a bit cramped, but that just comes with historical buildings.
Timothy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Unexpectedly small room

It is a family run hotel. It is dated and the room is exceptionally small. There is literally no space to move, just atand. There's also no space to keep your bags. The fake knobs on the doors kept falling off. Otherwise, the bed was comfortable owners were friendly and nice area. It is a good hotel for a 1 night stay, just that be aware the 2 person room with a single bed is extremely small.
