This hotel is located within walking distance of restaurants, a lovely park and a street market (on a Sunday at least). The building offers a lot of charm to the hotel as most of the original features seem to have been respected.

This is my favorite hotel in Chula Vista and Southbay Area. It is a vintage building lovingly preserved and owned by a wonderful family. No matter how many times I stay there, I never want to leave!
