Stayed here for 2 days mid August. Temperature was HOT! Should have read the reviews first. Unfortunately Hotel San Nicolas was fully booked. We usually stay there. When we tried to make a reservation by credit card, we were told we had to pay cash at a bank in Mexico. Had our daughter pay cash in Tijuana to hold the... More

Made my reservations with Kayak.com had no problems with Kayak. My sister made reservations with Hotel.com. When we first checked in (Saturday night), the front desk told my sister that Hotel.com had dropped her reservation, but luckily the hotel had a room available. Was told they ran out of TV remotes and air conditioning remotes. TV was operable but the... More

This hotel was terrible. The pictures show a really nice hotel witha jacuzzi and room really clean. But that's not the case. The bed were really hard and not confortable. We had book the hotel for 4 days.End up leaving the next day. They dont have parking. So you have to park in the street. Not so safe. Terrible service.... More

This is a cheap and very basic accomodation. The staff is friendly and the rooms are clean, but you can sleep at the Corona Hotel, which is only 150 m. away for just 10 USD more, and it is a more suitable option. The hotel is better than the ones that the Desert Inn chain has in Loreto or Guerrero... More

9 friends of mine and I stayed here for my bachelor party. We got four rooms with adjoining balconies. Staying at this place was fun. it is a little bit of a walk from most of the action in Ensenada, but still fun. We bought insurance and parked three cars out front and did not have any problems with burglary.... More

This is certainly not a place to take children - the walls were stained, the heat didn't work, towels were dirty, the carpet was dirty and the toilet was broken. Although the service was fine for the most part, there is no lobby and the pool was dirty. It is not a place I would recommend.
