Posada el Rey Sol

I’ll preface by saying this was my first stay in Ensenada in maybe 20 years and overall the town has improved in many ways. But this hotel left much to be desired.
Pros: close to downtown nightlife, provided fast pass for border crossing, allowed a pet for $ 15 per night, included two basic breakfast vouchers
Cons: expensive compared to other hotels in the area, charged for bottled water, no hot water in the shower, loud room and street noise, hot tub was green and foamy, very spotty wifi, poor cable tv service, woke up early Friday morning to find a drunk man passed out next to our 3^rd floor door with a box of empty beer cans. What was that about 24 hour security? Maybe he was the security.

We stayed here two nights. Place was clean an safe with 24 hour security guard. Its priced right for the budget and its pet friendly. We brought both our dogs and they loved it here. Bar, pool, and spa onsite which was awesome. All staff is super friendly. Free breakfast but only two options… The food was BOMB though. Over all we would stay here again you know exactly what your gonna get and its walking distance to night life!

Ok… firstly, four stars is relative… this is Ensenada, after all. When I stay at a in-​town hotel, there are several things that are important. A quiet, off street room (booming music into the night just doesn’t cut it); a comfy bed; decent towels and good water pressure; a working TV with a few English-​speaking channels. This place has all of these!
Plus, the staff is very friendly and helpful… and they have a couple of great promotions… Almost Free, which gives you a bottle of wine and a fast pass and Sunday Stayover, which makes your Sunday evening a half-​price event! Because we flew down, we took advantage of the latter, but if you’re driving, you need that Fast Pass.
I recommend this place for staying in-​town. Walking close to all the fun bars and restaurants. Quiet and clean. Solid all around!
Get. In. Here!

Came here a few weeks ago for a wine tour my friends and I have been wanting to do. We wanted to stay in downtown Ensenada, so we can walk to the restaurants after we got our wine on and not have to worry about driving. This is also an «Americas Best Value Inn» hotel room, so look for that when you book the room. My review:
PRO’s
*Cost: Great price! We got it though a broker website, and after searching 3 websites we got a very good rate.
*Downtown: Location was great for being in downtown Ensenada. You could very safely walk to and from downtown. I just wouldn’t walk to far down east of the hotel at night.
*Room Décor: We actually got a nice room had a modern touch. This could be the luck of the draw though, as our other two friends had older style rooms. We could tell since our other friends rooms did not look like ours.
*FREE H2O and WiFi: Two free bottles of water, but the WiFi was kind of weak. You may have trouble streaming Netflix of anything that requires a high bandwidth.
CON’s
* No Iron: Had to request an iron from the front desk. We walked down to pick it up.
*Small Shower: Very small (but nice) shower in the room. I could barely move in that shower.
*SLOWWWWWW WiFi: It was a bit slow, can you tell?
Overall, a nice clean room at a very reasonable price. You could pay more for a nicer room by the water, but you could get 2 – 3 nights here for one night at a really nice hotel.

This place is okay. I was disappointed with the bed. It felt like I was lying on a rock. Then I order towels and they don’t bring them. So I call them asking for towels again, and they tell me that they’re washing the towels. Then finally I call again and they finally bring the towels. Then the door handle fell off. It wasn’t the best, but it comes with a fastlane pass to cross the border quicker.
