Well, we got what we paid for! My boyfriend and I stayed at the Coqui Inn because of the cheap rate (apparently there was a 10k race in town when we went and almost all other lower priced hotels were sold out). The Coqui Inn provided what we needed, a place to lay our heads and night and shower.
Good points: staff was really friendly (treat them like you want to be treated), location was close to bus line for trip to Old San Juan, larger hotels (for tour to rain forest) and the beach, $10 cab ride to/from airport (extremely close!) and Internet access in the lobby to check email.
Not so good points: someone mentioned no wash clothes or shampoo, TRUE!, was very noisy (walls and doors paper thin), not very safe secure room (no sprinkler system, actual keys for entry with just an additional chain to lock the door) and the water pressure in showers leaves A LOT to be desired (we changed rooms once bacause of water pressure, 2nd room was better, but not much) and forget about an iron and ironing board!
All in all we had a good stay, probably because we weren't in the room much and it was just the two of us who went to the island to see the island, not to see the Coqui Inn.
All in all, we got what we paid for and had a fabulous time on the island. The Coqui Inn left a lot to be desired but was not all that bad. Fortunately for us we didn't have any travel delays and our reservations were in order when we arrived. We did request and got a late check out with no problems or additional costs.

Reviewer: Traveler from Illinois
The day we were to stay at the hotel, our flight was cancelled due to weather and we were not able to fly until the next day. As soon as the airline alerted us, we called Coqui Inn to explain the situation and ask for our money or at least part of our money back on our prepaid room. The management was adamant that no refund or partial refund would be made. "They have rules and they make no exceptions! " They did not offer us a credit for another day either. The $123 we paid for nothing is inexcusable in my
book, and they can rebook the room! The situation was caused through no fault of our own and at least a partial refund would have made us think highly of the hotel. Now we are letting the numerous people we know who travel to San Juan to stay away from this facility.

Like some of the reviewers, we booked this hotel for one night before leaving the San Juan area. I wish we would have spent the extra $50 to stay in a decent place.

It took 45 minutes to check in and we were the only ones in the lobby. The clerk kept answering the phone and talking to people as the walked up. I had reserved two rooms on the hotel's website, but she would not honor the price and charged us more for the rooms.

Once we walked the gauntlet, a maze of poorly light outdoor hallways, we found our windowless room. The linens were dirty and the thin metal door let in all of the noise from outside. There were a lot of punks hanging out and getting high throughout the hotel.

While I could stay here alone, I would NEVER take a family here.

Not a bad place. Not a top of the line place either. But it sufficed for a place to sleep and shower.

Nice big pool to lay out next to if the beach got to be too windy (since the sand pelting was not my favorite thing to endure).

"Breakfast" alternated between donuts, muffins, or honey buns, and coffee.

The chinese restaurant next door had the BEST sushi I have ever had.

Reminds me of staying in a dorm room, or one of the cheap beach front hotels in Miami. "Sufficient."

However, why complain about accomodations when you should be out enjoying the weather, beach, and tourist attractions?!? TV had some good channels. Clean space, clean sheets, clean new(er) towels. No face towels or shampoo, so bring your own.

The walk up and down the overpass/stairs wasn't too bad. A little bit further from the beach than I am used to, but for the price, I cannot complain.

Burger King was a cheap way to eat and keep costs down.
Kept some bottled water in the mini-fridge - the coqui inn sells bottled water cheaper than Burger King (FYI).

Hotel staff friendly and accomodating. I was able to check in early. $11 taxi from the airport to the hotel. $14 taxi back to the airport. $10 taxi to the local casinos. $0.75 air conditioned bus ride (each way) into old town san juan for some fun shopping. I would consider this hotel again.
