Entire staff were very rude and unprofessional. Did not try to resolve any of our issues. We even got a parking ticket in front of the hotel. If this was the last place to stay in San Juan I would choose the beach instead. Please don’t waste your money at this establishment. Il never go back.

Average overall

The hotel was conveniently located near several restaurants and right by the beach. This was great as we didn’t have to rent a vehicle or Uber anywhere. However, the facility itself could really use a major upgrade. Paint chipping, old and uncomfortable beds. It was very hard to rest at night too due to the paper thin walls. Housekeeping could have done a better job in checking on the rooms (I did have to go to the front desk to inquire about this). The staff was friendly and no complaints there but I think the place overall needs a little more TLC.

When we arrived, there were trash bags outside the hotel, which didn’t give the best first impression. Check-in was quick and easy, but once we got to the room, I immediately felt like I didn’t want to stay. The bed was uncomfortable, the pillows were flat and stained (and there were only two), and the bathroom was very small. I understand this was a cheaper option for a quick one-night stay, but it really didn’t feel worth it especially with the $200 deposit required at check-in. I did get the deposit back after four days, but it still felt like a lot for what we got. The only real plus is that it’s close to the beach. Other than that, I wouldn’t choose this place again

Hotel is run down. Location is great. It would be a good idea to upgrade the property, including the common area with tables and vending machines . There was a leak in the hallway on the main floor. Bathroom was small, but ok. Room dressing room should be replaced. The outdoor area furniture could also be replaced.
