This place is a very basic hotel. No bells or whistle in the regular rooms. We stayed here because we were able to park our trucks and trailers that we used to pull our SXS.

4th of July Stay

We basically paid for an amazing view and the beach front location. The place needs better TLC and hopefully they’ll upgrade their WiFi cause it was virtually non existent. If you need a quick sleep on the road I’d recommend otherwise there is much needed upgrades and improvements.

Weekend in Ensenada

We drove down for a weekend in Ensenada. I found this motel listed under two different names on different sites. It is about a 10 minute drive north of Ensenada. That didn't bother us and the price was good, but I think next time we might look for something in town. It was a clean room, but a little small. We have a family of four with an adult sized 14 year old and found it a little tight. But we didn't spend much time in the room, basically sleeping and showering. They also offer RV spots and they looked nice, they were right across from our room. We had the garden view room, but a short walk across the parking lot takes you to a nice view of the ocean. Staff was helpful and nice.

Do not recommend this place if you want security.

The door to the room don’t not have a deadbolt lock only a lock like you would have on a bathroom door, also the windows didn’t lock. Bathroom sink faucet was broken and leaking all over the floor. I will definitely not stay again. We were only there for a few hours to sleep before continuing on our vacation so all of the problems were no big deal.

The property is nice as it feels secluded and safe. The Wifi is terrible. I don't reccomend it if you seriously need network connection. I stayed there 3 days and just on the second day I was briefly asked if I needed supplies. It's a nice place if you want to enjoy watching the waves but don't expect to go in the water. It has an extremely small rocky beach and when the high tide arrives, the beach disappears.

Clean with comfortable beds located on the outskirts of ensenada. I was happy overall with my stay. No internet access for me, they told me no password required but the signal was weak, this was a bummer for me. Front window closed but the lock was broken allowing anyone access to my unit, i was not happy about this and asked the lock be fixed they said they would fix in the morning and they never did.

Buen lugar. Good place to stay

Dice playa priva y si lo es pero no es para descansar y nadar. Solo 4 habitaciones tienen vista al mar y se ve hermoso y escucha muy bien. La habitación de nosotros se escuchaba cada k pasaban carros ( necesita mejor ventanas) pero en general muy cómodo y agradable. Los patios muy agradables muy limpió todo. Excelente para tiempo de covid .... tu propia entrada no comparte AC con nadie. Regreso pronto pero con vista al mar :)

Poor maintenance & stingy on towels

The place needs some TLC, it is well located. Not in tourist area, but close to the entrance. Several food options close by. Parking was convenient in front of the room. Read the reviews and my expectations were not high, but just needed a room for the night. Water does smell bad, but they do provide water for brushing teeth. Old building with very thin windows allows a lot of noise in from the highway. The beds are "sleepable", but you can start to feel the springs. My issue was with the service, interacted with night person and morning person. I reserved for 3 people, my Wife, my Son and me. After arrival, I asked for an additional towel for morning shower. Was asked if I had reserved for 3, which I had. It was a young kid, he said he didn't have access to towels and that the housekeeping staff did not arrive until 830am. Told him I needed to leave by 8am and needed an additional towel. Said he would try, never happened. The next morning at 730am I went to reception and there was a new clerk, older gentleman. Same thing, he asked if I paid for an extra person, and I told him I reserved for 3 PAX, so I was expecting 3 towels. He grudgingly went to an adjacent room and gave me an extra towel. Based on how stingy they are with towels, that is probably reason why they don't invest in updating and maintaining the place. Has a lot of potential, but they need to invest in their property and in towels. Will probably not stay here again.
