3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 April 2012

It is an old hotel and one of the tallest buildings in Ensenada. I was surprised by the night life of this small port of Baja California. Surrounded by deserts and majestic mountains Ensenada is an oasis of fun and entertainment. This property is located near the main tourist avenue and surrounded by bars, cafes and restaurants.

We stay at this hotel 2 or 3 times a year for weekends away to enjoy Ensenada. Each time we've found excellent staff, extremely clean rooms (and believe me, we've traveled all over Baja) and in general truly like staying here. I don't think people who go here would be the ones griping about english-speaking TV! I would recommend this... More

The Hotel while not a five star is a nice place. No robbers, thieves or other vipers. I been in the "Marina" twice before and am going again with a forward look next month. Always have had a enjoyable stay. More

Arriving there without a reservation on a weekend, we were happy for the availability. The front desk can best be described as functional. While not rude, they lacked any feeling of hospitality. The major problem I encountered was the elevators. I know its Mexico and things don't run as smoothly as in the US but the elevator would bump up... More

Clearly, when you go to Mexico, you don't expect the same quality of hotels as in the US and other countries, so this review is based on those lower expectations. I went to Ensenada on a Saturday on Labor Day weekend with 4 other friends. Preliminary research indicated that most hotels were booked up for the holiday weekend, so we... More

We stayed in a 2nd-floor room for three nights while racing in the Baja Triathlon. Every single night car alarms went off, and two of the nights cherry bombs were tossed from windows above us to the parking lot below setting off even more car alarms. This hotel needs double paned windows for the noise problems. This place is dirty,... More

my husband and i took a last minute trip to ensenada w/no reservations. we walked into the villa marina and got a good deal from their friendly staff. We found the hotel to be far enough away from the loudness of the main strip to sleep at night but close enough to walk just about anywhere. Definately not a luxury... More
