What guests think

MISION SANTA ISABEL draws praise for its central, walkable location and consistently friendly, accommodating staff, with many guests enjoying the clean rooms, comfortable beds, and charming historic style, though some note street noise and the building's age.

Secure, gated parking and a courtyard pool are appreciated, although the pool cleanliness is occasionally questioned. Rooms vary in size, with some suites spacious and others described as small, and decor favors character over modernity. A few guests reported maintenance or amenity gaps, including inconsistent Wi-Fi, TV or hot water issues, and limited on-site dining. Overall, expect a historic property with strong positives and a few manageable trade-offs.

Great location and just great staff... the hotel has lots of parking which is a plus and is walking distance from several key spots downtown Ensenada. The hotel is quite old and is in nee of some TLC, beds are comfortable but overall facilities need a facelift.

Impeccably kept rooms at historic property. Kids loved the pool, room was amazingly clean and the property was well preserved with beautiful touches. Parking is gated, service was spot on and the location is unbeatable. There are no refrigerators or microwaves in room, but given that it's kept to its original design I'd give up those amenities. There's a fridge in the lobby that can be used by guests. I'd love to come back here.

When we got there, the bedspreads were wet (I guess they don’t fully dry them before putting them on the bed). The walls are paper thin, and while there were only 3 rooms booked in the hotel, they put us all in the same area rather than spreading us out to give a quieter experience. You can hear everyone passing by on the street, anyone talking in rooms around you, the staff in the hallway. Don’t count on using the fan in the bathroom at night - it sounds like a soggy jet engine, and will likely wake up the whole hotel. Overnight our friend in one of the rooms was attacked by fleas, although we aren’t 100% sure that happened at the hotel, but he started feeling it overnight.

La primer noche en sábado, excelente. El domingo se armo un San Quintín, pero el lunes la admon comento que sí lo habían notado, pero no hicieron mucho, Total, los rijosos ya se iban y los que ya habíamos pagado seguro no tendríamos la dignidad de irnos. El lunes tratan de compensar sin que yo acepte. Pero a las 11:30 mandan más clientes a mi propia habitación, cual refugio o no se que. Un caos de servicio, el hotel en si esta OK.
