My buddy and I stayed here for a few days and had a great time both in this Hotel and in Ensenada in general. We had suites and I can honestly say it is worth the few dollars extra if you can afford it as you get a much larger area and balcony etc The staff are very helpful and... More

This older hotel on the main tourist drag has lots of rustic Mexican charm - plenty of tile, dark wood, stained glass, wrought iron, molded stucco and artesenal work on the walls. It's a little worn - e.g. cracked tiles in places but that brings some authenticity to the place. It's far enough from the noisy bars to the north... More

Went with the family and had a great time. The hotel and the staff are really nice. The hotel is extremely convenient, you walk out of the hotel and you are where all the action is. Rooms are very large and have nice balconies facing the main street. Jaccuzzi was out of commisssion. Continental breakfast is: Butter, Jelly, Toasted Bread,... More

I stayed here in Dec. 2012, the room was clean but the A/C didn't cool the room at all. The pool and hot tub were unheated and worst of all my shower was broken (valve just spun around) and had no hot water. I called the front desk twice and was told just run the water for 10-15 minutes. After... More

I spent my last weekend over there I really enjoyed my time there. The hotel is near to all ... So location is awesome ... People on front desk were so kind ... Rooms are good and so clean. We had a good time

As many mexican best western hotels, El Cid needs a lifting. Rooms are okay and all, but it lacks a quality touch. Breakfast are really basic and the lobby is tiny.

We went to Ensenada for an overnight trip and stayed at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean. Even though the hotel is located in a busy street, we did not feel the noise nor the music from the bars nearby. Their personnel was very friendly and acommodating to our requests. The hotel was very charming and overall we... More

The hotel is in a good location, walk to all the bars, restaurants and shops on the main strip. It's also a problem when you have a room facing the street and next to the disco! It felt like the dj was in the room with us and whoever was singing karaoke sounded terrible! This goes on till 3-4am. The... More

Over the years I've stayed here at least a half dozen times and it has always been enjoyable. The rooms are perhaps a little "rustic" but that just adds to the charm of the place and what the heck? It's Mexico! If you want over the top luxury, go to the Bellagio in Vegas! The rooms are split level, have... More
