4/5 found this review helpful

great value for the money in san juan, puerto rico. Hotel is close to bus line & used it to go to Old San Juan (buses stop running at around 9pm). The room was clean, a/c & shower in good working condition. The hotel close to Ashford Ave w/lots of resturants & some parks. Only stayed 2 nights but price was right. From the airport- taxi for 2 people w/4 pieces of luggage $17.50-20 (total) & fr Old San Juan to hotel for 2 -$8.00(total).

7/7 found this review helpful

Great place to stay, it is modest, but comfortable and clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. The only problem was if you have a lot of luggage as we did (we were going on a cruise) the elevator is small, and we had to make a couple of trips. Other than that, great place, good location.

“Nice and Modest for a local Hotel”

El Canario by the Lagoon

24 Aug 2007
5/5 found this review helpful

I just recently stayed at this hotel for an overnight stay before and after my Southern Caribbean cruise leaving from the Port of San Juan. I booked a group of 20 people altogether and we all thought the hotel was great for a short stay.

We were across the street from the beach, and in close walking distance to restaurants, stores, and nightly entertainment. I would stay here again if I needed short stay accomodations but not for an extended stay. There was some minor confusion with the arrangements for my group and I think this was because this hotel isn't used to accomodating groups that often. They could stand for some renovations to be made but all in all the place was clean and comfortable.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — It was close to the Port of San Juan and the pricing was quite resonable
    • Disliked — elevator was too slow, we even carried our luggage downstairs one due to the long wait.

“great staff/beautiful hospitality”

El Canario by the Lagoon

3/3 found this review helpful

my boyfriend and I stayed for a week, the rooms are very clean,
Ruth was very friendly , beautiful hospitality.the front staff were excellent , very friendly, kind but most of all always with a great smile and a warm welcoming, Rafael (I beleave that is your name) keep up the great job and keep smileing. Richard you really need alot of improvement and try to focus more on your guest and their concerns, than your computer, eye contact and a smile goes a long way and the impression will be a lasting one. I will come back to the canario WE LOVED IT. Keep up the good work guys.
