  I booked this downtown spot for one night because it looked nice and the reviews were solid. I stayed an extra night because it’s such a lovely place and room, walkable to food/drink, and especially because the proprietors were super friendly and warm people. Definitely will be back soon!

  A really nice independently run hotel, they are very attentive to customers and the rooms are clean and nice if not a bit small (at least mine was). A nicely updated old school hotel that feels like a bed and breakfast.

  We stayed here May this year which was 6mo ago its family owned and our stay was great. Karen made us feel like we were at home . This hotel was above and beyond our expectations. We Love that it is a historic hotel and it's rich in history. This is now our favorite place to stay when we are in town visiting family. There are some really good restaurants nearby and a coffee shop with pastries, all are in walking distance. We will definitely be back .👍thank you Karen for your hospitality.💝

  We have stayed in the San Diego area many times as this is one of our preferred vacation locations. Hotels are quite expensive in the area and generally not very pleasing. We were beyond pleased with El Primero, the staff (owners) and the accommodations. I found some of the reviews offending, this is a historic hotel that they have worked hard to bring back to life. This is NOT a luxury hotel nor do they claim it to be such, it is much nicer than many of the places offered in the area. However, the location is amazing, the rooms are clean, the staff is BEYOND friendly and it is most certainly a wonderful place to stay. We were on the bottom floor, room closest to the lobby and we never heard a sound from any of the other guests, the staff is so amazing and so full of information on things to do and places to go. It is within walking distance to an array of amenities. We highly recommend El Primero and will most certainly stay here every time we visit southern California.

  My husband and I came out to explore the San Diego area and our stay was better than we could have ever imagined! The hotel itself is well cared for and beautiful, with lovely furnishings and the cutest outdoor patio, excellent teas and coffee, and interesting historical elements. We were delighted to spend some time getting to know the owner and her family - we mostly spoke with Sol and Karen, and both women were so friendly, kind, and upbeat, just two of the loveliest people one could imagine. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will only stay at the El Primero from hereon out as San Diego visitors - the customer service is truly unbeatable!
