The staff was very friendly and it was nice to have 24hr supervised parking lot. The pool and jacuzzis were beautiful. Very fun to have a casino right next door. Great location. The carpets in the halls were very dirty, the beds were very hard and walls are paper thin. We had noisy neighbors and felt like we were in the room with them.

The staff there was so friendly. I watched Super Bowl 2026 there and the staff had a special menu and drinks for the game. Shout out to the bartender William at the restaurant for all the wonderful drinks. He was on top of it. I will definitely start staying there when I go visit Ensenada. Also, the pool is hugeee with three huge jacuzzi as well. So much space. Don't forget about their casino. Nice!
