I had a good stay here. It’s a smaller run hotel, and not known for its fanciness, but you’re in Puerto Rico… How much time are you gonna spend in the room other than sleeping? It’s right on the beach, they have a little patio bar/sitting area that’s open on Friday through Monday. Would be nice if it was open every day but it’s enjoyable to sit out there and socialize with some of the other travelers and exchange ideas. Overall, the facilities are dated but clean and a friendly staff, you will become familiar with during your time. I did hear that sometimes the elevator is out of service, so if that’s an issue make sure to consider that. One other nice thing was that there’s a Walgreens and another drugstore right down the street within a couple hundred feet… They sell everything from sunblock to Bacardi. Very convenient. Countless bars and restaurants within walking distance as well. I would get a room here again.

There is zero parking. Some search results say there is some parking. There is none. Then the hotel said we could park at the Hilton across the street for $25 a night. It was $97 for one night. The hotel is old, dirty and smells. Our room smelled so bad of chemicals (presumably some sort of insecticide) we had to leave all the windows open. Then the door wouldn’t unlock. The front desk attendants spent 10 minutes to get it unlocked (yes it has keys not key cards). Then later we got locked in the room at checkout time and had to spend 10 minutes trying to get out. The bathroom has holes in the walls. Parts of broken fixtures are still partially attached. The bed had some sort of a plastic liner under the cheap sheets. It had one small blanket and no comforter. The walls were so thin you could hear everything in the surrounding rooms and people walking down the hall. There is only one outlet in the room. This place is disgusting. The only upside is the access to the beach. Do not stay here!!! Gross

Get ready for an adventure!! Let's start with the good points. The room was cleanish… during our four days we didnt see any bugs or critters. Also the overnight security guard was super nice and was able to help us find a place to watch the Super Bowl. One or two front desk staff were very nice and helpful others ranged from uninterested to absolutely rude. The AC was ice cold !!! Worked very well we had to shut it off it got so cold The adventure!! There is no parking expect to park at the Mariott next door and pay $27 per day if you have a rental the mariott vallet staff are very nice and know what’s up. We lost water Completely to the whole hotel for about 10-12 hours. We heard “the plumber is coming many times. Due to the water loss the toilet got clogged and it took several requests to even get them to bring us a plunger (we had to do it ourselves) Even when back in service the water pressure is Terrible and tepidly warm as best of you like hot showers like I do you will be disappointed. A puddle was in our hall outside our door we wiped it up because we kept tracking it into our room but it kept. Coming back. The roof terrace is a joke. Go see it it’s worth a laugh. The adjacent building is twice as tall so all you can look at is a concrete wall no ocean view lol The room was a little small there is no fridge no microwave, coffeemaker or anything you might expect. TV was streaming only on a dated smart TV. And the WiFi in the hotel was slow.

Old and neglected room. Contour sheet felt like sandpaper. There was no cover sheet just a light blanket. The A/C worked well and there was enough sand on the floor that it felt like walking on the beach.
