It could be better cleaning and more service. My room was not clean the next day.
They have a great pool and huge restaurant, but the food was not good.

This was our first time staying here, and it was for my birthday weekend, celebrating with family. Unfortunately, from the moment we arrived, the service at the front desk, poolside, and the restaurant was disappointing. Although our group was large, we’re experienced travelers and always tip well, especially since many of us have worked in restaurants and food service. However, the majority of the staff provided poor service, with a few exceptions who were kind and accommodating. Overall, the experience was underwhelming, and I’m not sure if I would choose to stay here again. On a positive note, the pool was lovely. Construction was happening all in the entrance. Parking was easy. There is a large parking lot across from the hotel.

This is a great hotel, first time staying here. Customer service is amazing, all areas of the hotel were kept up.

We had a modern room that over looked the pool. The car park across the road was easy to access and though reception was busy, we had access to the room an hour earlier than expected which was great.

I’d usually give it 5 stars but this time was different. There was a new employee I hadn’t seen there before and he was rude!! Also, our bathroom door had an issue and we had to tell them 3 days straight in order to get someone to come to just take a look. Not the experiences I’ve had before at all. Usually everyone is super nice, attentive and friendly, not this time though.

I always enjoy my at San Nicolas Hotel . It's the only place I stay now . I tried many other hotels and they weren't bad but this has become my favorite . I feel safe , my vehicle is secure and the staff is always friendly . I love the olympic size pool which is well maintained . The only thing I am not happy about is if you're in the pool and want to order a drink , the waiters rarely come around and It takes way too long to get your drinks . That is the only unaccceptable practice poolside . I am not talking about an isolated incident . Even when there are only a few people poolside . I have to hunt down the waiters . That is something that has to be addressed . Other than that complaint , I love the place !

The humidity odor was terrible, rooms were fine, pool was ok, they had to switch us to another room because of the AC unit was broken and kept making a noise every 17 seconds (I timed it) and the humidity. My son forgot his earbuds in the first room and when he found out that they were in there (through Find my iPhone) they said that there is nothing that they can do because the room was already taken. The front desk guy (Lennin was his name) had a terrible attitude during our five days stay in the hotel and when I first told him the issues we we’re experiencing he turned and laughed!

We've stayed in many Hotels in Ensenada, and this Hotel was one of the best so far.
The Hotel did need a little upkeeping in the hall ways and carpets were pretty stained which gave a particular smell.
The room was amazing!! Very clean and super comfortable bed. Having a refrigerator would've been nice to keep our drinks cool though.
The pool is big and very nice. We didn't get a chance to get into the jacuzzi because it was always packed. Usually the same people were there for hours, hopefully they didn't leave with there insides cooked! They should have a sign limiting the amount of people in the jacuzzi at one time and also a time limit of 30-45 minutes at one time.
Overall service and food was great!!
We will definitely stay again!

This is a beautiful place, with amazing facilities and friendly staff. Nice location, it takes about 20 minutes (walking) from the hotel to Ensenada's historic downtown area. The restaurant is also amazing, specially the Sunday buffet.
The only reason we didn't give it 5 stars under "Property condition & facilities" is that, the hallway has a weird smell, probably because the carpets get wet when people go to their room after being in the pool, and there are no windows.
Having said that, we recommend this place and we'll be back for sure.

We loved the renovated bedrooms. Showers are not clean, mold is growing. Everything else was excellent for the price.

The property overall was a great experience having the pool for the kids. I personally feel that there can have some updates in the rooms but it was a great time. They have 24 hour security parking for the vehicles.
