Fun trip!
The staff was very friendly, the hotel is nothing fancy but it’s good for the price. The beach was right across the street and about a 10 minute drive from Condado beach and 15 minutes from Old San Juan. I have to say the hotel location was great for the beach, and visiting San Juan. I definitely recommend a car rental since you pay about 50 per day and just one trip to and from Old San Juan is $42 via taxi. Do not use Allied car rental, this is what is recommended by the hotel; they have absolutely terrible customer service! There are other car rental agencies near the hotel. It was a good experience with the exception of dealing with the car rental people.

Horrifying
I had to go to the emergency room. The room was very moist and moldy to the point that I ended up with an upper respiratoy bacterial virus. They were doing renovations was very noisy during the day that made your head hurt.

Beautiful Beach
The Hotel was ok. A little run down. Staff was very nice. The best part wads the Isla Verde Beach across the street.

New Years Eve Vacation
Easy check in and out, no problems with staff. Decent pool, not as big as we thought it would be. Location was great!!! Walking distance from everything. Clean hotel, a little run down but we were only sleeping there, certainly clean enough. Daily housekeeping great. Took a day booze cruise, had the best time. Plenty of restaurants and 2 good casinos near by. Felt safe.

Nightlife tip:
Short walk from hotel
Went to a little corner bar just 2 blocks to the right of the hotel, my husband ordered 2 drinks, bartender suggested just buying the whole bottle for less money, then provided cups, ice and soda to mix. Great way to save money!

A good place to stay
The hotel was located one block off the beach. The beach was nice, the bus stop was only steps away for a trip to Old San Juan, and the hotel offered free breackfast from the top floor of the hotel which offered a nice view of the surrounding area. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful when we needed anything. The room was ok as long as you don't take a vacation for the luxury of the room. The cable/satellite froze often but overall it wasn't bad. There is a nice resturant on the ground floor of the hotel. Good place for the price.

Needs more work
The Hotel is conveniently located, they recently renovated but only minor details like lamps and mirrors. The doors look really used, the walls are not well painted. The worst part was the smell, the pillows and sheets smelled used (Terrible!!), we had to ask for replacements and the new ones also smelled funny, it was disgusting.
