I didn’t enjoy any VIP benefits. I have the free upgrade but the agent said that she won’t give me any upgrade and if I wanna a better room I should buy it. She at first lied to me and said she doesn’t have any availability and all rooms are booked when I showed her that I can buy the requested room. She said if I want the upgrade I should buy it and she won’t provide any free upgrades. She also didn’t mention any VIP benefits. Worst checkin. While showing her the availability of the ocean view room, she felt corned and she asked me to wait and she wanted to check in local guests.

City Express by Marriott is a nice hotel, but I did not find a lot to do around that area. I have always stayed in downtown Ensenada which allows for you to walk around and stop at coffee shops and window shop.

I didn’t like that they never gave us clean sheets on the bed. We never noticed it the first night we slept but once we did we asked for housekeeping to clean the room but they kept the same stained & dirty sheets. Never staying here again!
