Staff was very friendly and accommodating. We arrived early and were allowed to check in. We asked to remain in the parking lot after check- out to attend the Sunday Farmers Market, and it was not a problem. Very nice family run hotel and some great historical photos displayed.

Hi Jill, It was sure a pleasure meeting you and helping you to accommodate your early request for check in. Having built the hotel in 1930 and being the first hotel in Chula Vista we wanted to make the hotel a small gallery of history in San Diego. We truly love to make our guest feel at home. I hope to see you in the near future.

Hi Jose, It means a lot to us that you had given us a perfect review. Given that we are built in 1930, judging the book by is cover until you come into to the hotel is a must. Hope to see you again in the near future.

Great location For my needs. Hospitality great!!

Cons: Not a thing.
Location: The retirement complex where I visited a friend is a mile straight up third Street. A park is 4 blocks away.
The owners were very helpful to assist my needs. I did leave feeling like I had made friends. The breakfast buffet offered the best fruit as well as much more. I felt very safe. I will book again when travels take me to Chula Vista. God's blessings on this business.
