Super nice owners! Nice spot to stay at.
Went to a concert nearby at North Island Credit Union Amphitheater, and it was a super quick drive.
Charming historic hotel! The owner was the absolute sweetest and gave us great suggestions for restaurants near by. Will come back next time I'm in the area!
The property is a boutique hotel. Clean and decorated lobby that is pleasant in which to read or have coffee. Lovely outdoor area if you want to enjoy food from the venors on 3rd street. Great pizza from La Bella or pastries from bakery across one block. Great location. Great parking. Rooms are clean. Best are the owners. So friendly. John Smethurst. NC.
The customer service takes the cake here! Everyone was so friendly. While the hotel itself is older, it is very well-maintained and very clean. It was a comfortable stay.
This hotel was built in the 1930s and is very old. The owners have a lot of information regarding the history of the building and continue to do regular maintenance and updates. The hotel is on a semi quiet street and conveniently located with easy access to San Diego, Coronado Island and the places I visit in Chula Vista.
A large, walled-off courtyard is where I enjoy my morning coffee as often as possible.
This was my fourth stay at El Primero and I will continue to stay here when I return to the San Diego area.
Easy parking next to hotel, in a convenient location with near by stores, staff was friendly and property was clean and room was cozy. For 1 night it was more than expected.
Very clean room, and Karen is a very nice lady! Very helpful ~~~

Small nostalgic hotel located in downtown Chula Vista so walking distance to breweries and restaurants. Room was very small but to be expected for an old hotel. Bed was hard and uncomfortable.

Small but very clean and quiet….a nice surprise in the middle of town. Bed was very comfortable and tv had a good choice of free movies.
Coffee was served in the lobby in the morning. I will stay here again.

Intimate family owned hotel. Small but very clean rooms. Staff was so friendly and we felt right at home. Would definitely stay here again.
All clean, great attention to the customer, coffee and tea in the morning, strategically situated, near many restaurants and parcs. Fair price. Highly recommended!
I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The availability of restaurants, bars, shops and a park within walking distance. The staff made me feel very comfortable and safe.
This hotel is quiet, clean and safe. The parking lot had plenty of space. The staff is friendly and professional. They put out a very nice coffee bar in the am with multiple choices of teas, hot chocolate and coffee. The courtyard outside has plenty of chairs, heaters and mood lighting. Great property, highly recommend
