I've been coming to the Chula Vista Center AMC for almost three years, and the escalators leading…read moreto the second-floor theater have been broken for nearly that entire time. At first only one side was out of service. Now neither escalator works, yet the same apology sign has been sitting there for years. What's even more frustrating is that the nearest regular staircase is gated off, forcing everyone to use the stationary escalator steps or walk towards the north side of the mall. Escalator steps are steeper, taller, and can be slippery, making them much more difficult to navigate, especially for seniors, people with mobility issues, and families with young children. Yes, there is an elevator, but it's farther inside the mall and not conveniently located for people simply trying to get to the AMC. I see people struggling on these stairs every time I visit. What I don't understand is how the mall continues investing in new development while neglecting basic infrastructure that's already there. New restaurants and new construction are exciting, but before expanding even further, Chula Vista Center should invest in maintaining the property people already use every day. Functional escalators to one of the mall's biggest attractions shouldn't be a luxury. Three years is an unreasonable amount of time to leave both escalators out of service. If repairing them isn't possible, then at the very least open the regular staircase on the south side so people have a safer way to access the theater. Do better. This has gone on long enough.

The holiday decorations at the mall were pretty, well-lit, and simple. I feel like the simplicity made the decorations standout and gave them more taste.

The popular feature at this mall is the kids choo choo train that drives through the first floor of the mall. It runs about every 20 mins with so many little kid passengers. Overall, I recommend this indoor mall. The parking is not bad, parking is free, and the food court is constantly expanding. The vibe here was good on this visit.

There are plenty of ways to enter and exit this shopping center with stop signs or either by stop light. It is conveniently located off highway 54 with 2 exits available by freeway.

I've been to Cotijas, Baskin Robbins, McDonald's, Subway, Vons, the petstore and even the flower shop. I've discovered the açaí bowl place next to subway. I've discovered an in store Starbucks at Vons (that makes better Fraps than the actual Starbucks locations). I've discovered a library across the street. All this, playing Pokémon go in this area. This whole place is loaded with in game content and a lot of players frequent the area while enjoying the local businesses. For many of us, the games presence was the defining difference maker as to why we would come here instead of let's say Otay Ranch Mall or Chula Vista Mall. Or another food location or Wal-Mart or even Costco's. It had a gym that many of us took pride in defending (a gym is an in game location that players Pokémon battle over for territorial control based on 1 of three team factions). Anyways, I thought about going to my favorite taco but ended up siding with cotijas over here since it is in this parking lot and I see that all the stops are being removed along with its gym. Nothing against cotijas, but the main reason that won me over here most of the time WAS Pokemongo. I understand some players hog the parking spots that may effect small businesses (real life greater than gaming life). But I just wanted to voice my opinion on this. This shopping Centre may not lose a lot of money. But this specific one is probably going to be crossed off of my main spending locations. It obviously needs every dollar it can get as small businesses constantly come and go. Like hallmark is already Out of Business here. Your local food spots were great for gamers though. Shutting them out isn't a great idea In my opinion because you miss out on extra business. Especially when your parking lot is a well known reference spot. "The Vons" is all we had to say and Pokemongo players knew which Vons you meant. Now it's just another Vons to us. Well probably migrate to another shopping center or area. But disappointed here for sure as this was my favorite due to the location. You see we wanted to consolidate trips. Have our cake and eat it too. Now it's either a Pokemongo event day or a Vons area day. I can't count how many times we shop here after a go session. Or just come here strictly for shopping before playing on the way out. This is a big rant for sure but somebody has to do it lol. Best Wishes and Thanks.
