I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were nice and updated, very clean and comfortable; however, being close to the kitchen area brought some morning noise. The service was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, making me feel like a valued guest. The location was convenient for reaching various destinations, but the tight rooms were a downside. The dining was fantastic with fresh and delicious options. Overall, a welcoming atmosphere with great dining, but noise could be an issue for light sleepers.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although a bit damp and smaller than expected, provided all the basic needs in a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. It was disappointing that there were no refrigerators in the rooms. On the bright side, the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, even waiting up for my late arrival. The location in the middle of Chula Vista was excellent, with plenty of nearby attractions and good restaurants. The dining experience, with its variety of fresh fruits and homemade banana bread, was a highlight, but the lack of refrigerators in the rooms was a downside.
