I had a great stay at this hotel in Puerto Rico. It was quiet, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a smooth trip. The location was super convenient — I was able to get to Old San Juan, Condado Beach, La Placita, and even El Yunque with ease using Ubers. The staff was friendly and helpful, and there were plenty of walkable spots nearby for food and sightseeing. Overall, a solid place to stay if you want both peace and easy access to the island’s best attractions.

Great place to stay, clean and friendly staff. Only complaint I have is that the pillows are terribly thin. The property really needs to invest in proper hotel pillows as these ones are obviously cheap.

Only one pillow per bed was a little disappointing, no staff at the front desk. Other than that, cheap and clean place to sleep.

I just wanted to mention that between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m., the housekeeping staff member was speaking quite loudly, I believe on the phone, and it could be clearly heard inside the room. It’s possible she didn’t realize it, as the walls seem to be made of gypsum and sound travels easily. Everything else was excellent—just wanted to share this in case it hadn’t been noticed.

The hotel was great! The check-in and out was simple and convenient. Loved the style and design. Having a kitchen and a place to store food wonderful even though we only used it to make coffee. The only downside was the neighborhood. There were some really unpleasant or abandoned houses directly across the street. If you walked a few blocks things got better but when we first rolled up we weren’t sure. Overall it was a great clean, vibrant and funky place to stay.

Cute common space. Water pressure and heat on point. Safe code required to enter. Stark white-blue lighting inside the room as a main source of light was terrible. Sounds from common space transferred to inside the room easily. AC fan options inside room. Fast and communicative customer service. Not bad but pls change the color temperature of the lights and perhaps put foam seals at bottom of door to help block out sound.

This place was great for one night. It was close to the airport, clean, self-checking was very easy. The hotel is unique and very pretty. The only thing I would recommend is better pillows and extra bedding.
