I was here with my sisters, and since we are all students, we wanted to save a little and chose this hotel. The rooms weren't clean, the beds had sand on it. We had loud and creepy room neighbours. There were also bed bugs. However, it is in a nice area of San Juan, and the beach is really close,... More

Two nights, and I had a good time. If you are going to look for things to complain then you will find them. I had an awesome time, I had a standard room with a Queen bed. If you don't like the breakfast they serve - right now the street has a great Bakery. Two blocks from the hotel was... More

The reception staff is friendly and very accommodating. I had no problems with the customer service at all. The staff was very attentive to our needs.... More
