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.

This is NOT a hotel it's an over priced very old motel. I payed for a bedroom with a family room and only got a tiny room. I asked the manager and she said expedia lied to me and wouldn't honor what I had booked. I will never come back here.

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.

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.

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.
