Room was clean, staff friendly, price reasonable. We would stay again!

Location was perfect! Walking distant to downtown. Breakfast not included at this time.

The bed was very firm for us. Something a little softer would have been better but this is just my preference.

Hotel pintoresco

Hotel histórico muy pintoresco. Es el hotel más antiguo de Chula vista. Café gratis para el desayuno.

Siendo un hotel histórico, tiene cosas que no son tan cómodas como un baño pequeño.

A very nice hotel, the owner was really kind and provided an excellent service, she took the time to explain everything about our rooms and the facilities, she told us a little bit about the hotel and answered all the questions we had about our trip for the next day. Excellent service. The water from the shower had really good pressure and the beds and pillows were amazing.

The rooms were a little bit nosy, you could here the other guests entering their rooms and TVs

I truly appreciate the hospitality I received when I checked into the hotel. I enjoyed learning some of the history of the hotel and how it was renovated.

Everything was perfect and I loved the room and location.

Run down community, smelly place. I would not go back again.

The hotel is a nice historic building, but it needs some care. The are no extractor fans in the bathroom and the surrounding area is run-down in parts of San Diego. The owner is a very nice person managing everything.

The rooms smell of mildew and the carpets are not clean, no extractor fans in the bathrooms

Not good, lower your expectations… by a lot.

Location is good

The property is far from being a Boutique Hotel, poor design a bad taste, tiny rooms. Of course the rate is good but other reviews were misleading. Additionally they still advertise to offer complementary breakfast with the excuse of Covid they do not.

old, unloved and a bit dirty, but good location and friedly staff

the location is good and the staff is friendly

i don’t this this hotel has been redone since it was first built. everything is old and unloved. the cleanliness could be improved. the toilet looked like it hasn’t been cleaned when we got there. the towels are old and the bathroom is not inviting at all. luckily we were there for only one night. I would not recommend and i will never be back
