Palomar Inn

They are awesome in every way perfect staff Thank you yoshi! Perfect rates. Perfect rooms always satisfied whenever I stay.

I have stayed here numerous times. I keep coming back because the rates are fair priced, the bed is comfortable, it’s clean and there is a couch in every room. So I usually grab some takeout and come back here to the Inn to rest.
The guy at the front desk, I believe his name is Gilberto. Has hardly any customer service or communication skills.
We were asking about the rate of the room that we were staying in and he just said «110 $». We rephrased our question and he said again «110 $». Again we tried to ask and he started to raise his voice to my girl friend. And he said «It doesn’t matter it is still 110 $.» We gave up on the guy. Because as soon as he went back to typing up the information on the computer he was taking breaks in between. He had the show Sabado Gigante on. He was so rude to us but was laughing while watching tv.
There is an older man that usually checks me in. He is really nice and explains everything. I’ll try harder to get him to check me in. It is worth it to stay here it is just that one guy that makes the business look bad if you have never stayed here before.

For a place that bills itself on having wi fi to the extent that they put lit 5 foot signs on the top of the building stating «FREE WIFI», they’ve got a lot of work to do. My experience: it’s an entirely unsecured wireless connection that got ‘access to network’, but not internet access. My room was at the end of the hall, where the wireless got 2 bars out of 5. I walked to the office with my laptop, where the connection was full, but still couldn’t get online. The guy at the front desk had no knowledge about or access to their modem to restart it. His solution? Call Palomar Motel, which is a few hundred yards away, but still managed to show up on my computer with 2 bars. He asked the Palomar Motel guy for a password, got it, and promptly wrote it down for himself because he couldn’t get on either. Really quite comical after I got done feeling frustrated.

A very decent hotel with some charm.
The actual building has a vintage 1970 architecture. Everything from the stucco ceiling to the easy-​ride elevator will take you back to a time before I was alive.
The continental breakfast was on par with any other. Fresh coffee, baked goods and individual boxes of cereal. The tv channels are good, the view of mexico is relaxing from my room. Not too much noise interference from the trolly if you flip the air conditioning unit on. The price is comparable to any hotel in the area. Come here for the prestige. The Palomar inn is a gem.

being the procrastinator that I am, I didn’t get me and the kids a room prior to coming down to welcome their dad back from deployment. After hours of looking of me and my dad searching for a room, we had to settle for this one for a few nights.
The staff was super nice, older little Indian feller and really nice cleaning lady.
Upon entering the room it looked and smelled clean (very happy). Carpets were even clean. Made me feel much more comfortable when I seen that Other families were staying here (I watched parking lot for a few minutes).
I was concerned about the noisy palomar st. but with windows closed you couldn’t even hear traffic.
Continental breakfast was not to my standards (cause I’m a fatty) but it was good enough for my 8 year old and the Starbucks is in walking distance.
Overall I was pleasantly surprised that it was a decent, safe and clean hotel. Is definitely stay here again. And for $ 70 a night whatchya expect?! :) oh FYI there’s no pool! Boo!

Stayed here over memorial day weekend, got a room with 3 days notice and it was great. very comfy bed, and could not beat the price, guy at front desk was great, not that talkative but had no problems at all.

It could have easily been five stars. I happened to have a room that was over sanitized with a window I realized was broken after midnight, I couldn’t fall asleep because I couldn’t breathe. Apparently there were not any other rooms available that night anyway so unless they could replace the whole window and wake my kids up, etc there is no way to remedy that situation. I am not sure how I am supposed to sleep in a room with a broken window and obviously that was not going to happen. The employee on staff that early morning when I called for a refund I had to call the police on because they were that awful. When I explained this to the manager he did not care. Perhaps some people cater to everyone EXCEPT mothers with their children and intentionally do things to make their lives more difficult than necessary. This was absolutely the case in this situation and I do not recommend this hotel.

Someone must have been murdered in our hotel bathroom or something else really bad. There was blood stains that had not been cleaned ALL over our bathroom floors, bottom of the shower, toilet handicap handle. To make it worse it smelled horrible like someone died. We informed the manager of the hotel who said he couldn’t do anything! Blood is something a customer can sue for an a major health violation! What if we had been with kids? Or had an open cut? Horrible horrible place not impressed.

Note: this is a review for the –customer service– of Palomar Inn. I was not able to stay there.
I had to cancel my reservation today. I booked directly through the website. Yogi answered the phone and was extremely helpful. I was not charged for anything and he gave me my cancellation code.
I read some reviews on some websites saying that he is rude. This is not the case. He was extremely helpful. I am all about customer service (see my searing reviews about other places!)
Aloha!

This inn is awesome. A block from the Palomar trolley station. Nice people are front desk and a great comfortable bed. 27″ Samsung LCD flat screen tv and a nice powerful shower with clean towels. $ 60 with tax on a Friday night. Best deal around town. Highly recommended.

for the price of this hotel/​Inn its worth it, its clean and comfy the staff are friendly. free wifi the room was spacious with to kings bed and its free coffee and pastry in the morning. for 59 per day its great price in the area.

For the price of this hotel (we paid 55 $) it was worth it. Not my first choice in hotel considering location and looks, but for that price you can’t really complain. They have nice TVs with lots of channels, it was fairly clean, it was noisy outside our door but we were just staying there to sleep one night so we really didn’t mind! I would recommend this hotel to someone who isn’t to picky and is looking for a good price and decent quality!

The motel reminded me of a hotel I stayed in TJ — Mexico. Dirty and old! Motel room –family suite was spacious with 3 Cali king beds, fridge, microwave ovens, cable television, and working air conditioner. These were the pluses. But, rooms were not clean enough (found a spider nesting in the bathroom & roach was discovered in one of the fridges) and furniture was outdated. They advertised Free Wifi? How ridiculous! I brought a laptop & tablet which were wifi enabled. Unfortunately it was inaccessible. The motel owner & staff were great and customer focused. Motel price was cheap. But, I have to say, I will not return to this place the next time I am in the area. Palomar Inn needs a extreme make over immediately.

AVOID THIS PLACE!!! THE OWNER IS FISHY, The Night Clerk is a douche who always wants to argue with you, and he wants to give you a «discount» if you stay an extra night. The Place is noisy and the traffic makes it hard to get in or out. There are no Close restaurants and if you try to order any food from any place in chula vista for delivery, no one wants to come to this dump as it’s out of the way.
AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS! Go to the comfort Inn on E st it’s much better!

ok so when me and my boyfriend decided to go to chula vista for a vacation we found this hotel and booked it. From the price we assumed that it wouldnt be that great but we were both wrong.(: The hotel to us was more than comfortable the maid service did a great job very nice friendly people. The hotel was by many places that could help with the common needs like a grocery store for snacks and the gas station is rite across the street as well as the the freeway if you wanted to go sightseeing. The hotel also offered pretty good channels so we were able to watch the big basketball game and soccer game no problem. All and all we slept comfortably and the hotel is defintely one that we would go back to if were ever in chula vista again. GREAT PRICE.GREAT HOTEL.PERIOD.

This place is horrible and a waste of money. It is right next the free way (I 5) and a very close to a busy street. The rooms are extremely uncomfortable and noisy with street noise. The owner is an Indian guy, very tricky, dishonest and misleading. He tries to say good things about his hotel which none of them are true. Do not fall in his trap. My wife and I reserved a room online for $ 68 per night, which was not bad, but for reason, and we changed our mind about it as soon as we arrived in the parking lot of the hotel. I asked the owner that I was not happy the way the hotel was described online and that he should refund us, but he even did not want to talk to me. We should have left when we saw that the parking lot was empty. This place should not be called hotel.
