My husband surprised me with a weekend stay at this B&B and a concert taking place at Cricket Ampitheatre. I must admit that when we first drove up to the hotel, my immediate thoughts were "oh no, where did her bring me?" because the facade of the hotel is old, rustic. Very old Mexico style. But once you walk in,... More

A short business meeting required me to be in Chula Vista. I was initially going to book a San Diego Hotel room, however, figured I might be able to find something closer and eliminate the travel in the morning. Knowing that Chula Vista is not exactly the garden spot of the West Coast, I searched for something acceptable. As you... More

We had a good experience at the El Primero Hotel over the weekend staying two nights. The room and hotel were clean and the staff friendly. It's a historic bluiding which has been restored with a nice courtyard, Gazebo and fountain. Breakfast was self-service with their assistance.It is located in downtown Chula Vista. We had a great time: Loved it!

We stayed there in the summer and we returned during Christmas week. Pie and Sol are great hosts and make sure that everything is friendly, clean and cozy. Since it was cool, breakfast was eaten at the community table in the kitchen and it was great fun to visit with the other guests over the five days and exchange what... More

This historic hotel/bed and breakfast has got a lot of character and is well run. The rates are very reasonable and a better choice than the more impersonal chain hotels in the area. It was very clean, comfortable, and quiet. Breakfast was simple but plenty of a variety of bread, fruit, cereal, etc. Service was very friendly and it felt... More

My siblings and I sent our parents to Chula Vista (from Arkansas) so my father could celebrate his 80th birthday with his 85 year old sister he had not seen in a long time. My parents had a great time, but one of their highlights was their stay at this wonderful hotel/B&B!! Parents loved the breakfasts, their room was very... More

The hotel is family run and very welcoming. Pie and his wife and daughter are really friendly and made us feel at home and took a real interest in chatting with us - we were particularly made up that the daughter was a Liverpool soccer fan. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The breakfasts in the courtyard were very... More
