Awesome service.

Great service. Clean rooms. Cute hotel. I will stay here for sure.
MINERVA, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very friendly staff and comfortable room.
Harumi, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Unexpectedly small room

It is a family run hotel. It is dated and the room is exceptionally small. There is literally no space to move, just atand. There's also no space to keep your bags. The fake knobs on the doors kept falling off. Otherwise, the bed was comfortable owners were friendly and nice area. It is a good hotel for a 1 night stay, just that be aware the 2 person room with a single bed is extremely small.

George, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Strongly recommend El Primero!

Karen was wonderful. She greeted us and gave us a bigger room for free! I love the art deco design and the San Diego theme. Each room has a different historic designation. The outdoor patio and gazebo are wonderful places to relax. The hotel is within walking distance of restaurants, bars and a park. Bravo!
Susana, 1-night trip

Nice hotel just walls were paper thin. Could hear everything in next room and hallway

The owner was so nice and the hotel is so cute.
taylor, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good location, no thrill hotel

Not your traditional hotel, no full time person at desk, no breakfast or anything such as that. Did see some coffee and hot chocolate packs, but that was all, but plenty of places to eat within walking distance. Hotel was clean, rooms on the small size. We got a King size room and was not a traditional size room. Overall it was great for us as we had an event nearby. 7-11 Across the street if you need to buy snack or drinks.
Victor, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very welcoming host that was enthusiastic throughout about having us stay at the historic El Primero Hotel and in the morning gave us a tour of the lovely and healthy indoor plants they had propagated as well as the voluminous physical guest check in books that had guest notes, cards, and currencies from every end of the globe. My girlfriend and I very much enjoyed our stay although we wished it had been on better terms (water line shut off at our house). Would recommend to others.
Marcos, 1-night trip

Kimie, 1-night trip

Such a delightful place to stay. I loved the secured patio! The neighbourhood is full of great places to eat. The staff went out of their way to be helpful. The bed was super comfortable and I really appreciated the cotton sheets! Will definitely be back!
