They didn't help you with the luggage and the elevator its too old that doesn't have sensors, the bathroom doesn't flash and the room are really hot. And its too expensive for watch they give, I was in a hostel in old San juan 20... More

Don't come here on business, or if you need internet, or if you need a toilet. There is no view. Balconies are filled with hot air from the blowing air conditioning. No air conditioning in the hallways or elevator. Toilet sprayed water in my face and flooded half the room. Fat man at front desk said, "I can give you... More

No frills at the El Canario -- but clean, friendly staff, and great morning coffee and simple breakfast. A short one block walk and you are in the middle of the action in Condado. One more block and you are on the beach. Weekends have concerts. Building is in a classic Puerto Rican decor. We were in town when the... More

Very basic, but still right there in Condado next to everything. Most of the more popular hotels were full and I did not want to pay too much, so we decided to try this one since the location was good. It worked out just fine. Don't expect much from the breakfast or the other amenities, but it was a clean,... More

Hidden from the main street of El Condado, and looking right at the Condado Lagoon (hence the name), you'll find this little hotel. First of all I have to say that I agree with some reviews from past contributors. The location is one of the best things it has. The prices are relatively low for its location, as all other... More

We actually liked the hotel. It's in a great location in Condado, right off of the main strip, close to the beach also. The rooms are good and clean. But the front desk person in the evenings is terrible. Very rude, definitely has a clear dislike for tourists. Which is odd given his career choice. During our 2 night stay... More

If you are looking for a clean hotel which is well located, this is a great choice! It's only a 2 minute walk away from the beach and Ashford Avenue (where all the hotels, restaurants, bars, etc are) so at night it is very quiet! Our room had a double bed, AC, cable tv, wifi, a balcony with views of... More

I like its location, close to many restaurants, beaches, airport and old San Juan. Other conditions are not bad if you are not expecting a 4 or 5 star hotel. It has its own parking place and provides breakfast and laundry.

We stayed here two non-consecutive nights in two different rooms. The first room we had was small. The second room was larger, which made a big difference to the overall feel. In both cases the bathroom was clean but not super clean. There was a bit of mold in the soap holder and on the shower head, and I noticed... More
