The room was impressively spacious and clean, making it feel like a home away from home, especially with the comfortable sofa bed. I appreciated the helpful and friendly staff, enhancing the overall experience. The location is a major plus, with great restaurants within walking distance, adding convenience to our stay. While the furnishings were generally nice, the sofa in the upgraded room showed some wear, indicating they are still working on improvements.

Solo traveler comfort in a great spot

The room I had was huge and clean, felt like a big apartment with a kitchen, a real home away from home. The staff were incredibly helpful, especially when I needed them to show me how the kitchen appliances work. made cooking a full meal easy.

It wasn't exactly a bargain, but still reasonable for the value.

Our group had an awesome time! We caught a San Diego Padres game and visited the San Diego Zoo. The stay was cozy, with a great kitchen for late-night snacks. Just a heads up, check-out is at 11 AM, which is standard but can sneak up on you! Definitely a place we'd come back to!

I had to check out by 11 AM, which felt a bit rushed because I wanted to enjoy the last morning with friends.

I had a pleasant stay with my friends. The King Studio Suite was spacious and felt like an apartment. Staff were friendly and accommodating. The outdoor pool provided a nice spot to relax. I appreciated the convenient location near the trolley station. 🏖️

The king studio suite I stayed in was cozy and had everything I needed, including a great kitchen for cooking my own meals. I loved lounging by the outdoor pool and soaking up the sun by the relaxing deck. The only downside was that the bathroom could have used a little more attention to cleanliness, but overall, it was a pleasant experience! 😊

Decent Stay with Room for Improvement

The room had a spacious layout and comfortable beds. However, the kitchen lacked utensils, and the fridge leaked onto the carpet. Despite the pitfalls, the hotel provided basic breakfast options and decent service.

We had a decent time during our stay, especially with our little ones in tow. The space was perfect for our family, complete with a kitchen, which helped us save on meals. We also enjoyed the nearby restaurants and loved going to the San Diego Zoo!

In my wife’s opinion, the sofa bed needs to be improved for comfort.

i had a great experience at howard johnson. the staff was super friendly and accommodating. they moved me to a freshly renovated room that was almost brand new, apart from the sofa. the outdoor pool was nice, and it's very close to the trolley station into san diego, making it convenient for exploring. definitely looking forward to coming back!

totally recommend

The overall dining scene nearby is a real treat! Denny's is just a hop away for breakfast classics, and Dragon Express is perfect for a quick Asian bite. I loved the spacious King Studio Suite and the friendly service kept the vibes high during my stay!

But let's be real, the cleanliness left a bit to be desired. I found a couple of critters hanging around and the wooden floors were always a bit grimy.

I had a nice stay at Howard Johnson in Chula Vista. The King Studio Suite had plenty of space, making it feel cozy and homey. The full kitchen set-up was fantastic for preparing light meals and snacks. Customer service stood out. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, making me feel welcome from check-in till check-out. However, cleanliness could use some improvement. I noticed some areas weren't thoroughly cleaned, and the wooden floors appeared dirty throughout my entire stay. I also encountered a few critters, which was concerning. The sofa bed looked worn and not quite inviting. Parking was accessible, but it didn’t feel secure considering my concerns with cleanliness. Despite these issues, the location was great, with plenty of restaurants within walking distance. I enjoyed the overall ambience of the area.

The room was spacious and felt like a cozy apartment, with a full kitchen and separate living area. The staff were incredibly friendly, always ready to assist and ensure a comfortable stay. I truly enjoyed my time here.

Improved cleanliness in common areas would be helpful.

It was just a great fit for a budget stay in Chula Vista, definitely great for the money. The breakfast options were pretty decent, especially the make your own waffles. Know that the towels might not be the best, so bring your own if you can.
