This hotel is not a hidden gem. However, it is a very economical place that is clean, secure, has ac, and adjacent to the area where people walk and discover bars. It lacks a refrigerator, iron, and iron board. Regardless, it offers you the opportunity to save money otherwise you spend in other resound chains. I like the beds and subsequently the security control and cleanness of this place. Around the corner is plenty of adult entertainment, a local fonda that had great food, 7eleven, Starbucks, and a McDonald's. And other local restaurants.

Safe, clean, fairly comfortable. For a quick night it's perfect. Room is a bit warm, noisy when people walking by your room. Parking is secure though and the beds aren't too bad. Really great price too.

This location is very close to shopping centers and restaurants. When I booked a room in this location the clerk was friendly when helping me pay my room. The rooms are big enough for 2 adults to rest in comfortably. The bed was king size but is a spring mattress and it took a while for me to get comfortable on it. The bathroom was clean and we'll maintained. The best part is that the location is well guarded and I felt comfortable and safe.

Cheap, clean, and built so the parking area, as well as the lobby, are walled in, so no worried about worrying about the car while staying here. Easy walking distance to nightlife, comphy bed, quiet, and the bathroom was quite nice. No bathtub, and there wasn't really any hot water when I took a shower. Nor was there anything on TV that wasn't in Spanish (yes, I realize I was in Mexico) yet watching Pulp Fiction dubbed with Spanish was still hilarious. No complaints, really... Went with my family and saw three rooms, they were all nice and clean (and had hot water for showering). Everyone was happy, especially with the price. Would return.

Clean rooms and hot showers with secure parking, a little noisy at night but overall a fantastic deal. Oh and free breakfast of pan dulce and coffee and very friendly staff, but with no English, but if you can speak Spanish then this is the best deal in Ensenada!
