They gave us a room with 2 compressors running all day/night outside our balcony window. We could not open the window for fresh night air because the compressors were making this very loud noise.

I would also like to extend a sincere apology for the inconvenience experienced during your visit. Certainly, this is not the image we hope to convey. It is only through feedback such as yours that we are able to maintain and indeed where necessary, improve upon the service that we provide to our valued guest. Be sure we are following up on the specific situation you mention. We hope you'll give us a chance to show our improvements and decide to stay with us in the future. Best regards.

Great hotel

Pros: Price, quiet, friendly staff
Cons: Info about amenities could be provided in the rooms, like the restaurant schedule, locations of things, etc.
Location: Less than a mile from what I think is the main tourist area near the cruise ship port. Plenty of restaurants and stuff.
The staff was friendly and helpful, and the room was clean and had a balcony with a decent view. Parking was fenced in and guarded. The restaurant in the hotel was nice and had a bar. Big pool, although it wasn't really pool weather when I stayed.

Very bad they were remodeling & under construction

Pros: Nothing what so ever.
Cons: Burn it down and rebuild it from the ground up including staff.
Location: There was nothing with walking distance.
The hotel was far from a lot of what Ensenada has to offer. When we first arrived we parked our car in there "secured" parking lot only to return and notice parts were taken off our car. We were only away from our car for about an hour too! Then first thing in the morning 8am we woke up to construction sounds like jack hammers and nail guns. This was not a good place to stay. The pool however was nice but dirty and it was being used by a local Ensenada swimming team for practice so we just kept being asked to stay at one end by the swim coaches and staff. I wish I'd stayed somewhere else. To top it off our credit card numbers were stolen by the staff there and used several times to purchase goods online and elsewhere. I know this for a fact that someone there stole our credit information because it was the only place we used my card.
