“In my opinion, its position in Zona Centro makes it a practical choice for experiencing Ensenada. The hotel's unique rooms, each named after a different Mexican city, add a layer of local color. Live Cuban music and an on-site spa create appealing diversions after a day of exploring nearby attractions.”
