“So Excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 13, 2012

Its new, modern, excellent location and the staff are very friendly. Always say hello and happy to help you in any way possible. The room was clean and loved the modern style, I get sick of the media-chain hotels over-priced room that are never updated. This was a great change! I even enjoyed the spa and pool.

“Good Spot”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012

I enjoyed staying at this hotel several times on my trips to San Juan. It is in a great location, close to the tourist area, yet remote enough to stay with the locals. The rooms are clean and the restaurant has quality food at reasonable prices.

“Below average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012

We stayed one night prior to a cruise out of San Juan. I have no idea why this property is rated so highly. We found the room to be very inadequate and considering that there are no real amenities, it is way over priced at $200 per night. Our room was very small and poorly designed with a sliding glass door for the bathroom facing the sleeping area. There is virtually no counter space anywhere for toiletries or personal items. The restaurants adjacent to the property are not part of the hotel system and do not allow meals to be charged to your room. All in all, a poor choice when compared to the other options.

Saludos Richard1s,

From reading your review, it is apparent that we were not able to accommodate you in one of our lager rooms. We are sorry that we did not meet your expectations and hope that on your next visit to Puerto Rico, you would give us the opportunity to accommodate you in one of our more spacious rooms and were the bathrooms configuration is different. I was happy to see your 5 star markings for our service, which is most important for us. If I can assist you in any way please do not hesitate to contact me directly at yodil.caban@hilton.com.

Always at your service,

Yodil Caban

“Good Place to Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 10, 2012

DoubleTree is a good hotel with very attentive front desk staff. I was impressed by this. The room I had was clean and well maintained during my trip. The bed was comfortable and not the usual too soft beds that kill my back. The room was a bit small but comfortable with a queen bed and desk area and a chair. The pictures on the site are very accurate. There is a restaurant on site with a nice bar that has happy hour from 5 - 7 and breakfast - with omelet station. I only had a burger (which was good) so I did not sample much of the food offering. There is ample space to linger out of the room in the lobby area or at the pool. Across the street the Super Market is open 24 hours and also offers some food to take out that is a good and cheaper alternative to local restaurants. This hotel is not on the main drag (Condado) but the main drag is within walking distance about 20 minutes. There is a bus that stops on the corner that for 75 cents will take you to the Condado or Old San Juan. But beware that the time between buses can be long - Caribbean time I guess. There is a pool and gym with good treadmills and free weights. It is convenient, clean, and business like. It is not a resort but does have an arrangement with a sister hotel that allows guests to use that other facility which is on the beach. I tried the other sister hotel once and it was nice but I did not try it again as I was too busy exploring the city. I would definitely stay here again.

“Best value in San Juan”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 10, 2012

I have been staying at this hotel for over a year, consistently. I travel to San Juan virtually every week and have stayed at every hotel in the SJ area. To date, this is by far the best hotel in the city, and I may dare to say in the island from a value perspecitive. It is rather new for PR standards, recently renovated. The management is top notch, very attentive to details. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive to one's needs. The facilities are extremely clean and well maintained. the rooms are spacious with excellent amenities for the business traveler. For business, there is no better option in the island.

If you are going on vacation; this is not a beach front property and the nearest beach is not within walking distance. Also, the area is not "that great" where you can walk to many distractions, you will need a car or take cabs. However, the hotel is located near major highways and it is centrally located to all tourist attractions; Old San Juan is 10 minutes away and the beaches are 5-10 minutes away by car.

The breakfast at the hotel is superb. The bar may close earlier than a lot of people would like, but it tends to die down after 10:30pm or so anyway, the service at the bar is fantastic.

Overall, this hotel is fantastic for the business traveler.

Room Tip: cornered rooms are bigger. They have a few near the pool...awesome
