Pleasantly surprised by this little hotel. Location is great (at one end of main strip) and was very happy with our room - comfortable bed, good cleanliness, little 'kitchenette' area. Our room walked out onto a nice 'sun patio' area that was shared by other guests. You could walk down to the pool area from here. Unfortunately, the pool left... more

Don't let the lobby fool ya! The lobby was clean and the overall appearance seemed O.K. but the room was not. Nothing looked like it had a clean rag taken to it in months. The toilet had that paper tape around it that says disenfected or something to that effect, but when I lifted the lid it definitely was not... more

We did not stay here...why you ask? Well the guy working at the front desk was a total jerk. We walked in there with smiles on our faces and left feeling pissed off. All we wanted to do was take a look at the room before we paid. We wanted to know what the room was like before we committed.... more

Very good hotel. We didn't book anything in advance, we pretty much just walked in and asked for a room. We got a Jr. Suite for a little more than a $100...pretty cheap for that category.

We'd never been there so weren't sure what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised. The staff was friendly, the room was great, and our 2 day stay was great! more

And there are no coffee makers in the room. Would have really liked to have that amenity. Otherwise, we stayed on the pool side and it... more

This was my tenth visit to Ensenada in the last three years and my fourth stay at the El Cid Hotel. I wish I had found the hotel sooner. The rooms are very reasonable priced and I usually book a room for at least a four night visit. The rooms are clean and the cleaning staff is very helpful if... more

Diane from Los Angeles We have just returned from staying in 2 rooms at El Cid. I was nervous about staying there after reading the bad reviews on Trip Advisor, but it had been suggested by a friend who enjoyed it. It is certainly a great location for shopping, in the middle of the main street. We requested quiet ,... more
