The Spotlight on Big 7 Motel Chula Vista I-5

Affordable Comfort Just Minutes from San Diego's Music Scene

Modern convenience meets wallet-friendly lodging at the Big 7 Motel Chula Vista I-5. Located just off I-5 in Chula Vista, this laid-back motel is perfectly situated for travelers looking to catch a concert and crash somewhere clean, simple, and close by. With easy access to Downtown San Diego, the San Diego Zoo, Outlet Malls, and the Mexico border, it’s a smart base for exploring the area between shows.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music fans appreciate the quick access to major venues like the nearby amphitheater and downtown clubs, all without downtown hotel prices. After a long night, you’ll love the motel’s quiet setting—far enough from the city buzz to get some true rest. Flexible check-in at 3:00 PM means you can drop your bags and head straight to the show, and friendly front desk staff are happy to help with directions or ride-share tips.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to split a room and save
  • Solo travelers catching a can’t-miss tour stop
  • Couples planning a weekend music getaway
  • Fans who want peace and quiet after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who’d rather spend on tickets than luxury

Food and Drink Options

While the motel doesn’t have its own restaurant, it’s a quick walk or drive to plenty of local eateries serving everything from tacos to diner fare. Grab breakfast nearby after a late night out, or bring something back and enjoy a quiet meal in your room. Late-night options are available just down the street.

Nightlife Options

You’re just minutes from Chula Vista’s growing nightlife scene, plus downtown San Diego’s clubs, music bars, and cocktail lounges. Want to keep it low-key? Pick up a local craft beer and relax in your room post-show.

What People Say

Guests frequently call out the cleanliness of the rooms, the super friendly staff, and the unbeatable value for the location. Travelers on a budget love how easy it is to get to concerts and then unwind without breaking the bank.

Areas for Improvement

The motel is on the basic side—no frills here. Some guests mention older furnishings and minimal amenities, but if you’re just looking for a solid place to sleep after your show, it does the job well.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want an affordable, clean, and convenient place to regroup after the music ends, the Big 7 Motel Chula Vista I-5 hits all the right notes.

Absolutely horrible, roach infested, unsafe...

Liked: I liked the price...until I arrived and saw what I paid for and what was now "not refundable"
Disliked: I want to start this review by saying that my husband and I travel often and are always looking for a great budget friendly hotel. We have stayed at many hotels for around the same price we paid for this room, but NEVER had the horrible experience that we did this time.I could write a novel about our experience here but I will try to shorten it up.It looks shabby/dirty, needs to be painted, parking lot is super narrow and does not have a lot of parking spaces (Our Mazda Cx-5 was barely able to squeeze through the parking lot).The woman who checked us in was not friendly at all. We had a top floor room (had to walk up these very narrow stairs with Ritz crackers smashed all over them) and once we get to our room, we notice that the door frame/lock is damaged. We had trouble opening it and when trying to close the door we notice that you are able to just pull the door open again (not latching) and have to basically put all your weight into the door/slam it multiple times to get it to latch. The room looks clean, but smells so strong of cleaning chemicals that it is suffocating. At this point, I really wanted to leave but knew there were no refunds and we needed to get to a concert, so we left hoping by some miracle, there would be a parking space left when we got back late.Got back around 11:30pm and there were NO parking spaces left so we had to park on the street with all these sketchy people hanging around. I almost left and drove all the way home at this point as well, but was so exhausted.We get up to the room and as I'm brushing my teeth, I see the most GIANT cockroach I have ever seen on the wall! We immediately packed up and drove home. Such a waste of money!!!I want to end this review by saying I have literally NEVER written a bad review for a hotel. I'm always one of those "look on the bright side" type of people and I could not find anything good about this hotel.
