It is a historic 1930s hotel, so rooms and bathrooms are small. However the owner of as very welcoming and everything was clean! It was a little expensive but we booked last minute, and we were happy.

This is a wonderful place to stay in Chula Vista. You are just down the street from many restaurants and shops (easy to walk to) and the hotel is wonderful. The owners were excellent and the rooms were adorable. I loved the historic nature of this hotel and would definitely stay again when I'm in the area.

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.
