If I come back to Puerto Rico I will definitely stay at this hotel again. Clean rooms, very nice staff and housekeeping. They have a shared area with big clean kitchen and the fridge. I can’t say anything bad about this hotel. They have private limited parking but if you can’t get a space there, there’s street parking available too. There’re a few food places within a walking distance as well. They even let us use the shared shower in the hotel if we needed to after we checked out.

The bed was uncomfortable as it sinked in the middle. There was also a green light from the fire alarm that was distracting to sleep with. Other than that, the room was clean, it looked nice and it was quiet.

The room was comfortable, clean and cozy. The hotel space was clean and quiet and allowed for a lot of privacy. The location was close and central to everything even with amazing food locations close by in walking distance. The staff were welcoming and attentive and the locals that live in the area were help full and very kind. Would return back here any time i go to Puerto Rico. it's worth every dollar spent. Please support this hotel and business you wont regret it!

Property is different and unique. The staff are amazing. The property is fairly new and staff need to work on cleaning on the small places that are starting to show they need more care such as wipe doors and walls down daily if need too. Bathroom downstairs where the twin room needs a complete redo because there is no ventilation at all and the shower has green mold on all nozzles that needs to be cleaned or replaced. I really liked the king room where it was nice, quiet and spacious. The entire facility is quiet and nice just little things need to be addressed. I enjoyed my stay and will stay again.
