Price was reasonable, located close to beach and El Yunque. Very noisy liquor store/bar on corner. Hard to fall asleep because of noise. Bed was comfortable, shower had hot water

Fine, clean room if a little stare. The blue or red stripes painting on the walls make things starker. Our room (#1) has a very comfortable kingsized bed. Two blocks from the surfing beach & then 2.5 mile walk along secluded beaches to the Luquillo food kiosks). Corner near the motel has some nice things during the day can get gritty at night (beer store nearby). Nearby on-street parking can be hard to find.

great option for Luquillo
Service was great. They were super helpful during check-in (had to clal, there is no desk) a town-wide black-out and late check-out. Room was big and 99% clean (some dust in places, but nothing to keep me from coming back) 5 stars, probably the best option in Luquillo given the location (by town center and the beach), price and condition of the place.
