Absolutely Disgusting and Unsafe – Avoid

This was by far the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. From the moment we entered the room, it was clear the place had not been properly cleaned in a long time. There were dirty towels, visible dirt and grime on the floors, smears on the walls, and most disturbingly, bugs in the bed. To top it off, we found an undisclosed object of an unidentifiable shape in the freezer – completely unacceptable. Trying to address these issues with the front desk turned into another nightmare. It took a full argument just to get refunded for one night, despite the condition of the room being completely uninhabitable. On top of the filth, the property felt incredibly unsafe. We were chased to our room twice by a homeless individual wandering the property, and ended up sleeping with chairs pushed against the door just to feel a shred of security. Save yourself the stress, health risk, and potential danger. Do not stay here.

Charming Multicultural Experience

This is a lovely family owned and serviced little hotel/motel. Guests of all walks of life are treated well and the place is kept very clean. Some of the fixtures are outdated or need replacement, but the bed was really comfortable and my room was clean and fresh. This is one of the nicer low priced accommodations in Chula Vista. And the price is quite competitive with other hotels in the area. The neighborhood is urban ish and very walkable with interesting stores and restaurants all along the main street.

DO NOT waste your money here. I understand you pay for what you get but I’ve traveled to a lot of places before, and payed way less for a decent stay. This place was disgusting. First off, everything was stained, the chair, the couch, the pillows, the shower curtain, the towels, everything. I’m talking brown stains on the towels and shower curtain and red stains on the chairs. Secondly, I couldn’t even pickup anything without hair being on it. There was long black hair on the pillows, the sheets, and the bathroom sink and graffiti was written on the mirrors and in the fridge. There’s also a lot of weird activities going on outside too. Drug dealers selling dope out of rooms, tweakers getting high on the steps and digging out of the garbage can, prostitutes going in and out of rooms, and people sleeping in their car in the parking lot. This hotel doesn’t even have enough respect or decency for their guests to put lightbulbs in the lamps or clean the mold out of their fridges. My point being is this, they should be shut done or sold out to someone who cares to have a decent hotel. Overall this place could get someone seriously sick or hurt from the people that they let hang around there.
