“Typical mexican best western”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

As many mexican best western hotels, El Cid needs a lifting. Rooms are okay and all, but it lacks a quality touch. Breakfast are really basic and the lobby is tiny.

“Great location, friendly personnel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

We went to Ensenada for an overnight trip and stayed at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean. Even though the hotel is located in a busy street, we did not feel the noise nor the music from the bars nearby. Their personnel was very friendly and acommodating to our requests. The hotel was very charming and overall we had a great experience. We will come back!

Room Tip: Ask for back side rooms to avoid the street noise

“Good location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2010 via mobile

The hotel is in a good location, walk to all the bars, restaurants and shops on the main strip. It's also a problem when you have a room facing the street and next to the disco! It felt like the dj was in the room with us and whoever was singing karaoke sounded terrible! This goes on till 3-4am.
The room was fine, comfortable and clean, just ask for a room at the back away from the disco.

“Great place for the price and a very friendly staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 August 2010

Over the years I've stayed here at least a half dozen times and it has always been enjoyable. The rooms are perhaps a little "rustic" but that just adds to the charm of the place and what the heck? It's Mexico! If you want over the top luxury, go to the Bellagio in Vegas! The rooms are split level, have a bar to sit at with a small fridge, microwave and a sink. The rooms we've stayed at have balconies that face the street and I've always liked sitting out there before the evening starts having a beer and watching life in Ensenada go by. The beds are not the most comfortable but they are suitable and anyhow as I get older most hotel room beds bother me!

A small word of warning: the rooms that are closest to the disco can be pretty noisy in the evening but I've only noticed it at the rooms adjoining the disco. Otherwise I have always found it relatively quiet and felt very safe there.

We're coming back down within the next month and I'm already really looking forward to it!

“Best Western Standards”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2010

had a pleasant experience from the desk clerk to cleaning staff. WiFi friendly in room, pool-nice. Best Western had a promo where you book two nights and 3rd was freee, that of course, was a plus!!!
The hotel is in a great location. You can walk to Papas and Beer, restaurants and shops. Hussongs Cantina has tuesday and thursdays 2 for 1 beer promo all day and night. Nothing to do with the hotel but Mango Mando pub has beer for a dollar on tuesdays....
The pool in the hotel is not heated and the water it is cold.
Our room was located on the second floor and somehow we heard lots of noise from ??? thumping /bass ???
Restaurant had good food and be sure to ask for special menu ... coffee, juice, warm bread and main dish for eight dollars....
