the hotel is a beautiful old mission. Beautiful rooms and nice price. Right on the shopping strip. And it's relaxing.

I'm very picky and when I visit Ensenada, I love to stay here. It is very safe, very clean, walking distance to EVERYTHING! Parking has security 24/7. Give the security a tip, he will take special care of you --- NOT THAT YOU NEED CARE in Ensenada. It is a very safe place near the ocean. Love it!

I stayed at this place on 4/28/08 for two nights. The place was very quiet and it was very nice. The pool area was clean and relaxing. Actually it was very relaxing even though it is located in the heart of the main area. The front desk was very helpful with directions or recommendations. I would not hesitate to return and an added bonus is the fact that it was only 49.00 a night.

Some of the reviews of the condition of the hotel below might be a little outdated because my stay and obvservation of the hotel is that it was perfectly nice.

Arrived into Ensenada for the first time at night. Drove down the way too touristy strip and ugly touristy hotels. At the end of the main strip was the Mision Santa Isabel, splendid mission building and rooms advertised for $49, similar to the hotels on the strip. The concierge was super friendly. The private off street parking felt very secure and at times even had a guard. My room, 212, had a king sized bed, super clean. The bed & pillows were very comfortable. The bathroom had a cool sink with a floral inlay / paint in mission style and the walls, showers, floors were all beautifully tiled. Certainly chipped in some areas, and it was not super modern, but that was its charm. And it was clean and everything worked well. Hot water was fine, shower everything worked great. The floor was refinished wood floor, perfectly nice. It had a great closet with iron clothes hangers which was really cool. The concierge helped with a lot of travel questions and since I was traveling alone, it was nice. The only con was the dining area--I had the buffet breakfast which was overpriced ($7) for what it was. Could've gotten something cheaper and tastier in town.

ENTHUSIASTICALLY RECOMMENDED!
