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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
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.

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.

This was a rare find, that I must have walked by a million times, but found with Expedia. Stepped back in time to a hotel that makes you feel there is no need to be rushed, on your phone or have to hunt down staff. Gorgeous owners/staff, gorgeous hotel, easy parking, high end toiletries, and a beautiful courtyard if you need to have a place to rent for a gathering
