I stayed at the Hotel Miramar with my family prior to our Caribbean cruise. Thankfully, we were there for only 1 night. It is by far the worst experience at a hotel that I have ever encountered. We requested one room for a family of 4 and were given “the biggest room”. Granted, the room is relatively spacious, but none of us felt comfortable at all to really get good sleep.

For starters, we found hairs on the bed sheets, as well as stains on the bed covers. Because I tend to get cold at night, I reluctantly still pulled the covers over me. As I started to fluff the comforter I started to smell this…odor. When I took a sniff I realize the odor came from the stained, dirty, and now stinky comforter. Needless to say, I just opened my suitcase and grabbed a sweater and slept in it instead to keep warm.

The toilet itself is so dirty and filled with grim that I wish there were toilet seat covers provided. The bathroom itself just gave us a really unclean sense of feeling and I felt showering in it might get me dirtier. In fact, all of us opt to forgo the shower, so we can leave this “hotel” as soon as possible and get on our cruise ship!

Despite paying extra for the 2 additional people, breakfast was only provided for 2. I did not go for breakfast, but those that did, said it was mediocre at best and we all still went out somewhere else to grab a bit.

The area around the hotel doesn’t necessary feel unsafe, but I surely will not stroll around there at night with my family.

Over, this was a HUGE disappointment of a hotel. I would never ever stay at this hotel again, and will not recommend this hotel to anyone.

A really good value for a minimal cost. Clean, good location, great staff. Standard economy class with plenty of towels, clean linen, the convenience of a micro wave and fridge. Spacious rooms and a European style atmosphere and continential breakfast. Easy access to taxi, bus line, and the convenience of neighboring shopping with a 24 hour cafe nearby. I would avoid the high cost of dining at the hotel with so many options nearby.

Don't even think about renting a car! Parking and driving are beyond anything to which you may be accustom. You can travel almost anywhere by metro bus or train.

We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed here a few weeks ago for 2 nights. My wife and I and our 2 year old enjoyed our stay..(pre cruise). My little boy loved playing with the birds behind the lobby. The foods next door was good. Nice central location. Re Taxis: Always get a rate PRIOR to leaving the Hotel....we took 3 trips to Old San Juan and had 3 different rates 7.00/10.00/18.00...cruise ship port is about 2 miles away

I really liked this hotel. For the budget traveler this hotel is perfect. It was a 10 minute walk to the beach and the main strip of hotels on Ashford Ave. You would have to run across some streets that are exit ramps from the highway but it is passable. I have walked this stretch at 10pm and felt safe. Lots of police presence makes you feel safe. The immediate neighborhood is nice, filled with small stores, oharmacy, and a supermarket 2 blocks away. Though the hotel ha no pool there is a nice sun deck on the roof giving you nice veiws. I spent alot of time up there.
The hotel strip was nearby and me and my friend were able to enjoy a multitude of cuisine. Lots of variety and good shopping as well. My room at Hotel Miramar was always kept well, clean towels daily and well kept. The staff was friendly but I got most of my questions answered by the hotel's handyman, who was always on the premisis. The continental breakfast was filling and delicious.
My overall experience at this hotel was great. My friend and I enjoyed ourselves immensely and we would definately reccomend this hotel to anyone of our friends.
