The room was comfortable, clean and cozy. The hotel space was clean and quiet and allowed for a lot of privacy. The location was close and central to everything even with amazing food locations close by in walking distance. The staff were welcoming and attentive and the locals that live in the area were help full and very kind. Would return back here any time i go to Puerto Rico. it's worth every dollar spent. Please support this hotel and business you wont regret it!

Property is different and unique. The staff are amazing. The property is fairly new and staff need to work on cleaning on the small places that are starting to show they need more care such as wipe doors and walls down daily if need too. Bathroom downstairs where the twin room needs a complete redo because there is no ventilation at all and the shower has green mold on all nozzles that needs to be cleaned or replaced. I really liked the king room where it was nice, quiet and spacious. The entire facility is quiet and nice just little things need to be addressed. I enjoyed my stay and will stay again.
