Best Western El Cid

We were in Ensanada the day before the Baja 500 (not intended). Anyway we stayed at the Best Western El Cid. The room was beautiful with lots of Mexican tiles. The bed was comfortable and the staff was great less

We really enjoyed our stay. Friendly staff. Clean room. Perfect location near shops, restaurants, bars, etc. Hotel is older but charming. We would stay here again. Has parking, easy access to marina as well. less

This hotel was booked from a second party website for $225 for three nights including taxes ,but they charged me $252 because and REFUSED to honor the second parties website price and basically said TOUGH crap!!! So they essentially STOLE $27 from me. The pool is NOT heated and has a ugly motel like ambiance as well as being freezing!!!!!!! Each room is different and some are grungy as Hell!! Our bathroom had black and green mold in the shower tiles and the sink for the room is in the kitchen area!!!!!!!Our view was hideous and we had to ask them to clean the room!Some of the rooms are nicely redone with tiled floors and new bathrooms but ours looked a nicer version of a Bates Motel!!! Best Western has poor quality control on their products so of course quality varies at each hotel!!! Restaurant was tasty and very well priced but NO WAY in Hell would I stay there again!!!! Also no screens on the balcony and a huge green bug jumped into my friends bed and she had to kill it with a shoe. Also bedding looks old and has seen better days!! In fairness to the hotel they are trying to spruce up and add a fresh coat of paint to the hall walls outside the rooms!!! Book the hotel thru a second party site because they charge 30% more for walk in customers!!!Only good thing I can say about this hotel is that the location is good!!!!! less

The Best Western is right in the middle of the Red Zone, where all the bars and cafe's are. Clean, friendly staff, nice rooms. Parking a bit tight, so don't bring your RV. Value was good. The best breakfast was 5 blocks away at Maru, on avienda Miramar, across from Juarez Plaza. Look for the three Hermanos store on corner as the big landmark. less

Really great staff, everyone was professional and super friendly. I have stayed at a lot of places and this is one I would go back to and would recommend without hesitation. The building has old character and history, it's clean and everything works. I didn't get a massage at the spa, but it's on my list to do. I wouldn't stay any other place in Ensenada. DO NOT STAY at the place across the street, I checked in there first and they had bugs crawling on the beds. I promptly checked us right back out and ran over to El Cid and I said "I am soooo glad I changed hotels" about 20 times that night!! less
