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. Room was big, clean, basic, but nice. Bed was not the most confortable, but not enough to keep me from sleeping. The grounds were... more

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

Our first visit to Ensenada.... The hotel was clean and the staff very helpful to a point. My biggest complaint is that the bed was like a rock! Very difficult to sleep in it. 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

This hotel is in bad need of renovations; the room didn't appear to be particularly clean, had frayed, stained carpet, dingy spreads, and sheets so thin you could read through them (had it not been so poorly lit in the room that you couldn't read). The front desk staff was unsmiling and unfriendly. Because of some other reviewers favorable posts,... more
