Two ladies in our 40s stayed Memorial Day weekend this year, very disappointing. Rooms are very outdated and moldy smelling. Bathroom had mold in ceiling that had to make a special request to come clean. Beds thin and uncomfortable. Despite what it said on expedia listing, not all rooms have fridges- we only got one as it was taken from another room. Pictures on Expedia listing are greatly photo shopped. Location is not great, and its very noisy. Yes its right by the beach but not the nicest part of Condado Beach, and view is partial. On weekends traffic is horrible. There is no parking provided, street parking very limited and we had to pay $40+ a day for a lot 3 blocks away. There is major construction for a new high rise 1 block over. We were hopeful it would stop over weekend/holiday- but nope, 730am every day it started. If you're college aged just looking for a place to crash, this hotel works. Do not recommend for anyone else!

I felt like I was catfished. The Amount I paid for 1 night and the property did not match the pictures. It was disgusting. Stained linens, roach in the bathroom, filthy dirty curtains, bags of trash pilled up in front of the hotel steps, old and scratched up furniture. The elevator is old, dirty, and not leveled. Scary, dirty and you can hear every person on the street.

Staff was unprofessional bickering all the time and if you’re on the first floor you will hear everything they say and argue about.the room was decently cleaned and had great working a/c which was the best part. The access to the beach was also a plus.

Eso no es un hotel, es una ratonera la cual no limpian las camas solo las tienden y dejan las sábanas que ya utilizo otra persona me cambiaron tres veces de habitación y todas estabas sucias llenas de pelos y animales caminando por la cómo obvio no me quedé ni una noche en esa posilga y al mismo tiempo habían dos personas distintas en la misma situación y aparte te bloquean 200$ de seguridad y en la habitaciones no hay absolutamente nada solo mooo insectos y suciedad That is not a hotel, it is a rat trap where they do not clean the beds, they only make them and leave the sheets that another person already used. They changed my room three times and all of them were dirty, full of hair and animals walking around. Obviously, I did not stay even one night in that place and at the same time there were two different people in the same situation. On top of that, they block $200 in security and in the rooms there is absolutely nothing, just grime, insects and dirt.

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.
