San Nicolas Hotel & Casino in Ensenada doesn't have hot water…read more I complained to management about the water being cold, but they did nothing. The TV cable services, like Netflix, Hulu etc. didn't work either. I asked for a refund, but they ignored my request I did not issue any refund. The elevator was broken and they had put yellow tape around it. I could not get another hotel nearby, because all the hotels were booked and overly priced for last minute reservation.

This amazing hotel and Casino has been around since the late 1950s and is located in the heart of…read moreEnsenada, Baja California, Mexico. Tons of great history in this hotel as it has hosted water sports in the past, off-road racing, and beauty pageants. Walking distance from the beach-five minutes, driving distance from the historic town shopping center. This hotel is very well kept, and I believe a highlight of it would have to be the pool area. Decorated with palm trees and well kept giant birds of paradise. There are three functional hot tubs in addition to the very large lap pool surrounded by reclining beach chairs. The inside of the facility appears aged, but not in a degrading way, but rather gives off retro vibes. I did not have the opportunity to eat in their facilities. They did provide you with two standard size water bottles in addition to coffee and cream. My room was very well kept, was clean and definitely gave off resort vibes. The staff here was very friendly and very flexible when it came to park in the car in the registration area. They provide self parking or valet parking for a small additional fee. The parking lot is gated and is monitored 24 seven by security personnel. In this hotel, I felt safe and did not get a sense that I was a rough area. Reason why I did not rate this hotel a five-star has to do with the water coming from the shower. It is a known fact that while in Mexico, it's not recommended to consume water coming out of any home faucets or showers. Upon showering, I noticed the water having a mineral/sulfuric scent. It wasn't overpowering nor overbearing, but to those sensitive to smells, this could've resulted in a poor experience. At this time, I am not sure if it has to do with San Nicolas being an older hotel or if this is a common occurrence with hotels throughout Mexico. I would recommend staying here however (TIP) I would also suggest researching the water issue with nearby hotels if you are particular about water smells.

This historic building is walking distance from the cruise port and free to explore! We noticed…read moremany tour buses and excursion groups arrive in waves. We entered through the courtyard where several small vendors sold souvenirs. It was convenient for me to pick up a few gifts for friends in a low-key setting compared to the crowded shopping spots around Ensenada. Walking around the building, there is a mural highlighting missions along the coast, various rooms with historic artwork and preserved architecture. I especially liked this circular room that had art on the ceiling. We made our way to the bar where they gave samples of margaritas and Mexican coke. We ordered a Tamarindo Margarita to enjoy in the courtyard. It provided a light buzz and was only $9. https://yelp.to/yvJyIxstTB Towards the front of the building is a small coffee shop. This exits to the outdoor area where many people relaxed on the lawn. Cool spot! We spent roughly an hour here. I would come back for another margarita. Maybe get the mango next time :)

The historic Hotel Riviera del Pacifico in Ensenada was first opened in 1930! It is impressive how…read morewell this monument has been preserved for nearly 100 years. The locals refer to it as Ex-hotel Riviera. It is now used by the Mexican government to manage different types of municipal business. I drove from Sacramento to Ensenada as part of the dual citizenship campaign that happens once a year. I've been working diligently to get dual citizenship for my children as I am dual citizen, myself of Mexico and the USA. They could not have chosen a better location to perform such a ceremony. There is a restaurant on site, but I did not get an opportunity to try the food. If you appreciate history of Mexico, this might be a neat site to walk-through.

(There's 3 hot tubs) Who would've known watching your kids IN the hot tub with them ISN'T allowed. With that being said, if you plan on taking your kids here, you can only watch em from outside the hot tub. Weird!!! Security was rude. Extremely condescending. I didnt come here for that. Complained to "management" they did NOTHING. Definitely will NEVER stay here again!!!

Went wine tasting in the Valle de Guadalupe and used the hotel as a base. Recent upgrades and…read moreattentive staff are a real plus. It caters to the offroad crowd for the Baja races. Secure parking, available Fast Pass for the border crossing make this worth the stay. The rooms are good size and we had one overlooking the Olympic size pool and three Jacuzzi's. Pool side bar and restaraunt give it a resort feel. The attendants poolside are pretty strict with the wristband entry pass and the dress code. The front desk will assist in any questions and help coordinate excursions. Depending on the time of year, probably one of the best spots in Ensenada. We found spots closer to the wine country but I think for full service and ease of destination. This is the spot! Quality-4 Service-5 Value-4

After checking…read moreout several local motels grouped in the area, we skipped the Hotel Presidente and the Casino hotel and some substandard venues and rested with Motel Coronado. Our friendly check-in clerk was Rosa and we were satisfied with the room and well satisfied with the price. This is your best bet under $40 in that First Street area, AKA Ave. Lopez Mateos. Didn't hear road noise at night, but maybe cause we were sooo tired. The Federal Police station is nearby on First Street, so add that as a safety factor.
