Exciting view, great location
We spent only one night at the hotel because we wanted to visit family before heading to our final destination. The hotel room was like all other HoJos including the fact that the AC was set at a very low temperature. Unlike at other HoJos, the temperature control did not seem to work. We had to turn off the AC so we would not freeze in a tropical island! The restaurant at the top of the building where breakfast is served was great with a 180 degree view that included the ocean side and the island side. Our room faced the island side and we enjoyed seeing the airplanes come in for a landing, and the clouds roll over the mountains, and the rain falling in sections, and the traffic flowing below us.

Good digs for the price
This hotel is great for the price. It has convenient access to the beach and the rooms were well-equipped and clean. The place is a little run down and some people in the party complained of a musty smell, but we didn't spend much time in the hotel. So it was fine over-all. Breakfast comes with the room, but it's pretty meager, so I usually went to the Starbucks in the El San Juan hotel a few blocks away. NOTE: Some of the rooms don't have windows! Luckily I read reviews before I booked, so I made sure to reserve the rooms with windows.
