A lovely older hotel in an increasingly buzzing city- Ensenada, Baha Mexico.
Pros:

This is an older motor hotel in an excellent location- right in the center of town. It is done in a traditional Mexican style, and the trooms on the top floor have some nice views. The adjacent restaurant, although open only limited hours, serve delicious homemade Mexican food and other things like hamburgers.

Cons:

The shower isn't excellent, but it gets the job done.
