The host & owners Karen & her lovely mother. Very friendly & welcoming, they would go out of their way to accommodate my experience in this very charming delightful 1930's, Chula Vista's FIRST hotel. I was booked in the Mission de Alcala. Each room had their own plaque on door w/the history behind it in the room for guest to take back some memories of this Delightful hotel. I Highly recommend staying here. It was clean, comfortable and lots charm from the 1930's Art Deco period. I would certainly come back & stay here when visiting my brother & his family.

Save your money........check in at Motel 6.
Way over-priced! You would think, for $136/night there would be a microwave and small refrigerator in the rooms. Nope. No breakfast either. The water in the bathtub was either too cold or too hot. Could not control the temperature. The bar of soap was tiny.....only lasted me 3 days. The only amenity was free parking. I will not return to El Primero

This was a historic boutique hotel within walking distance of restaurants, pubs, bars and coffee houses. The hotel was very clean and inviting. The hostess Karen was very hospitable and gave us some pointers. There is a very nice courtyard to enjoy a drink or just sit and relax with beautiful plants and lighting. I definitely have found a little gem to book if visiting San Diego. I can’t wait to return.

A GREAT STAY!
I didn't know what to expect. It turned out to be a very well located small Hotel, Boutique style built in 1931. Very well kept with the friendliest hostesses. The room was a little small but very functional. Everything worked well. From TV to great water pressure in the shower, to a comfortable bed with pillows which you may select from soft to hard. The location was close to restaurants and shops that made my stay more fun. I will definitely will return to this Hotel.

Do what you can with what you got
Front desk staff are lovely people and truly want you to enjoy your stay. Entry into the hotel is secured. Though the building itself is very outdated, rooms are small and cleanliness of the bathroom was subpar. The door to the bathroom was not aligned so there was a very visible opening at the top of the door, the shower was dark and in need of re-tiling. Electrical needs updating, there were power strips for the outlets. The walls are very thin, you can hear EVERYTHING in the immediate rooms next to you aside from regular conversation.

Small, old, but very nice hotel. Patio seating, lovely lobby, coffee/tea (and I think hot chocolate) in the AM. Room clean, bed reasonably comfortable, power strip on the desk for your rechargeables. Ice available near the patio. Shower narrow, water pressure not great - but quiet area, parking lot, and overall a good experience.

A Neat Historic Hotel, Nice Staff!
Nice, very old 1930’s building with lots of charm in the Chula Vista area of San Diego. Small rooms but of course for the time it was built it makes sense. Probably could use some paint and general spruce up. The bed was very comfortable and there were large soft bath towels. Quiet peaceful sleep and walk to restaurants and coffee shops.

Such a great place to stay
We were in town for three days, on a lengthy road trip from Missouri. Chose El Primero based on the reviews, great price and convenient location. Karen, the owner, was a delight. A good, kind-hearted person. We definitely felt welcome. We hope to stay here again on a future visit to the area!
