The close proximity to shopping and dining options added a lot of convenience to our stay, making it easy to explore and enjoy the local cuisine and retail offerings. Additionally, the neighborhood’s quiet ambiance provided a peaceful retreat after our day’s adventures. The house itself was a delight.

"Very clean and orderly. Nicely maintained and great view. Loved the hot tub and the outdoor features."

"My partner and I had a lovely time! Cyndi was very welcoming, and provided clear instructions via email and text well ahead of time. There were a lot of thoughtful touches - separate towels for the beach/hot tub and showering, little toiletry bags in case you had forgotten something, sparkling cider and cake pops from a local bakery when we checked in, etc. The space itself feels large and bright, and the backyard is lovely. It is a bit of a walk from food/activities, as it's in a residential...

"To start I got a welcome message offering an early check in. Which I immediately asked for and was denied. I was deceived by the picture of the hot tub. Property manager will not turn on the hot tub which is controlled remotely. The water was freezing. She offered to refund my money and said that it is stated in the advertising.

SureStay Hotel by Best Western Chula Vista San Diego Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room "

Ayres Hotel San Diego South - Chula Vista

10/10 Excellent

"From check in to check out everything was great. This is a newer property in a really great location. There are many stores and restaurants within walking distance. We just stayed oned night before heading out on a vacation from Tijuana airport but it was clean and comfortable. The rooms are large and there is a divider between the two queen beds which I appreciated since we were traveling with our daughter and her husband (it gave us just a little extra privacy that we wouldn't have in a typical room with two queen beds). We will definitely stay here again if the need arises."

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham San Diego Chula Vista

10/10 Excellent

"We loved this hotel. Out room was over the lobby, easily accessible with both elevator or stairs. The room nice size, morning food choices very good, staff exceptional. And the buikd, somewhat spanish mission style, a plus next to Denny's with a very cool interior & quality food "
