Too bad TA doesn't have a "0" to rate this hotel, since that's what I'd use! Avoid this hotel at all costs!!! We checked in 09/27 and about an hour later checked right back out! Walking into the hotel lobby was dark, dirty, and smelled of urine to me, and old molded wood to my husband. YUCK! I thought maybe... more

We stayed at the El Cid and thought the rooms were clean, comfortable and very reasonably priced. Hotel is centrally located to shops and restaurants and to the marina. Good deal for the budget-minded traveler..staff was also helpful and friendly. Would stay there again. more

We were unable to get a reservation at El Cid so we stayed across the street at the Days Inn. We ate several meals at El Cid, though, and let me tell you, it was the best Mexican food I've ever had.

I also had a room with a balcony overlooking the street and enjoyed the view. The only minor complaint was that the bed was too hard for my tastes. There are also typical... more

Have stayed there on business a few times. On the face, it is a resonable place, but I did experience a few problems.For the good-1. In the heart of downtown, very close to shopping and restaurants. 2. The restuarant at the hotel is very good. 3. Good coffee in the morning and a small breakfast available.For the not so good-... more

Went back to Ensenada for a free wekend stay at the La Pinta Hotel. It looked scary so we went to the El Cid where we were a month and a half earlier. We decided to give it a second chance. This time we had a cool room with a balcony overlooking Ave lopez Mateos. This place is hit or... more
