We stayed on a room on the 8th floor during our visit. It was clean and quiet, and comes with a microwave oven and a fridge, which is quite convenient. The lady at the front desk was very attentive to our needs and requests. Considering the location and the price, I would definitely go back to the hotel again! More

However, the fridge was still full from the last guests food items and expired milk (ick!), which we had to clean out ourselves in order... More

The best price in the area, near to all attractions, with friendly and courteous staff. Very elemental breakfast, but definitely adequate price-wise. More

Me and my two girls (5,7) went to Puerto Rico for the Christmas break. We had a wonderful time. On the day of our departure we encountered a lot of traffic on our way to the airport and we missed our flight. I immediately called my family and they turned around and picked us up. I remember seen this hotel... More

I would probably give this hotel 3.5 stars - overall. First of all, we liked the beautiful partial ocean view and nice balcony on the 8th floor. Rooms on lower floors do not have balconies. Another plus is that the beach is right across the hotel which is really convenient. There is also a bus stop pretty close to the hotel... More
