The place was a great place for all of us that traveled. It had a casino for the adults and an amazing pool for the kids. At first, walking through the hallways, i thought that the hotel was going to be a disappointment but once inside the rooms, they are clean and I believe they are all remodeled! It was a bit noisy with construction noise and traffic noise but worth the stay

We had a great stay at San Nicolas Hotel and Casino in Ensenada! The pool is amazing—super clean, big, and perfect for relaxing. We spent a lot of time there and really enjoyed it. All the employees were extremely nice and helpful from the moment we arrived until we left. Their service really made a difference in our stay. The hotel is in a good location, close to restaurants and shops. We will definitely stay here again!
