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 hotel to anyone visiting the city. And the prices can't be beat!
We're going back in the next couple of weeks..

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.

first off i am a white american. There is nothing more i hate then to see americans complain that this hotel was not in tip top shape. the hotel was awsome nice people and everything. You white folks need to stop complaining about every damn thing its annoying to me to the staff to the people in ensenada. you guys are to spoiled. first off you need to understand the mexican way of life which is simple to have a good time and not worry. like i said the hotel was nice. nothing was bad there was noise but that is just how mexico is. everything is closer houses, bars, places.

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 and down, skip to another floor, go up a floor while on it was down... I was scared for my life! and the stairs didnt seem to provide any safer option. Being a woman, it is incredibly dangerous to go through the stairs which are on the outside of the hotel at night. There are no lights and its awfully dirty. The rooms were average. Didn't look to clean nor too dirty. Best thing was the view, however for some reason the tiny balcony didn't generate a feeling of safety so it was from inside the room we could appreciate the view.
