Good value

Great pool area, clean rooms & decent free breakfast. It is on the beach, however you have to walk through the garage to get there and they do not provide chairs for guests on the beach. Other than that decent hotel and good value. Good restaurants down the street.

Average Hotel

We found the room to be clean but the carpet looked like it hadnt been replaced or cleaned in 10 years. The room had a damp moldly smell so we kept the AC running all the time to help with the dampness. The advertisement said the hotel had WiFi but when we got there we found out you had to pay $13 a day for it. The complimentary breakfast was great and they gave us about $100 of coupons for drinks at the hotel that you could use at the main bar or at the pool bar. We found little ants in the kitchen and when I told the front desk, they sent maintenance right away to exterminate. It's an old hotel but it served its purpose which was

good weekend getaway

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. The only problem we had was that the first room they gave us was on the second floor next to the air conditioning unit, the view of the ocean was beautiful but the noise from the ac was too loud. We asked to be moved and were quickly given another room on the 7th floor. The hotel staff was very friendly especically in the bar, she was very informative and sweet. The beach was clean as was the pool area. We would stay again.

We rented a scooter for 40 for the afternoon and drove into san Juan. The scooter was the best because there was so much traffic and it was easy to pass more quickly than in a car and easy to park.

Good

The service was good, but from the previous reviews I was expecting more. The wi-fi is not free and its somewhat expensive to pay for. I liked that it had free parking for our rental and free continental breakfast with a decent amount of options. We got there and requested a king size bed and the accommodation was not available so we ended up in a bedroom with two double beds which are too small in length for us. Aside from these things it is in a great location near restaurants, beach and airport, has a pool and basic necessities to have a place to stay and go out and explore.

Not all its cracked up to be

While the staff was always friendly and very helpful, I would not stay at this hotel again. The doors connecting all the sections of the hotel were always locked, you needed you key to enter every part of the hotel. You had to exit the hotel through the parking lot to the beach, and pass through a gate. Our room was on first floor, by the pool. It had a private outside area, but if you closed the door to go to the pool, there was no way to open it, you had to re-enter through the hotel. I often felt like I was in prison. The pool closed at seven. The breakfast was expensive, $15 and it was nothing more than a fancy continental. The hotel decor was very dated, the rooms were lacking electrical outlets, the furniture was old and the comforters and rugs looked like they were from seventies. Our room also had a kitchen, with micro wave and fridge, utensils and dinning ware was provided. If you don't mind the combination seventies condo/prison feel this hotel isn't that bad. However, for a hotel listed as on the beach, its not all its cracked up to be.

Excellent location and service

Excellent location, close to restaurants, casino, steps from the beach....but...our room was located just above the Hotel Trash location and our room smelled really bad all the time. Since the hotel was sold out they were not able to give us another room. Beside that, everything else was excellent.
