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 Some of the fixtures are outdated or need replacement, but the bed was really comfortable and my room was clean and fresh.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.

When checking in. I asked if they can accommodate us on giving us a lower level as we had our grandmother with us that is elderly and he walks with the walker and they couldn’t also pulling in. We seen a gentleman take the screen off one of the windows open the window and open the door from the window and proceed to go in. There was a lot of people in and out banging on the doors pets in at the property very dirty. The towels that were given to us were very dirty.
