Super noisy and dirty rooms. My wife and I needed up having to get wipes to clean all the dust. The linen was stained. We also killed two baby roaches.

Hair was found on the room and restroom floors. There is tile everywhere in the room and when you shower, condensation gets on the tile flooring which creates a slip hazard. My family almost slipped a few times. There is no where to sit in the room other than the bed. Parking was terrible and not convenient. Road construction all around the property and was forced to move our vehicle from the street at 7am.

While the hotel was ok, the surrounding area was terrible. We wish we had know this before we rented the hotel. Also, during the night, people kept coming in an out of the hallway making a lot of noise.

So glad we found this place when on a layover at San Juan airport. Checked in after midnight, and was able to sleep in a fresh clean room. Easy to get to from the airport.
