The hotel is a quaint little place in a very nice and vibrant neighborhood in San Juan. The room is nicely decorated with a closet, drawers, and a beautiful bathroom. The staff is very accommodating and responds promptly to any reasonable guest requests. The rooms stay very cool thanks to individual AC units. The kitchen is located upstairs and is shared by all guests."
