We wanted to stay near older part of San Juan before we left on our cruise. We stayed on a Saturday. We checked in,first sign was they didnt have ice,ok no problem. The pillows are about the size of a maxi pad, dont ask for more because they didnt have any more available. Our second night was on a Sunday, balcony sweet that you dont dare step out on. First sign was he had to go get the elevator, last date of inspection was 2007. Still no ice for my soda that I just got across the street, which was closed he said so they couldn't buy ice. Waking up to head home from our vacation, got in the shower at a point it got **warm** for it instantly go to ice cold. Had to finish by shutting off the water then turning it back on. We even checked the sink and no warm water.. I was over with this Bates Motel.…

I didn't think this hotel deserved an average rating. I was disappointed. It may have just been our room. It had a bad musty/sewerage smell. We stayed 2 nights and didn't remove our clothes from suitcase. When we got to the next destination all our clothes had that same smell. They are in the process of remodeling a few rooms at a time. I will say it is in a perfect spot in the middle of Old San Juan. We felt very safe roaming the streets even at night.

First of all, the location is amazing. The middle of Old San Juan calls for you to step right out side the front doors. And step out you should, because this place is only intended to be where you take a shower, turn off the lights, and sleep in a room with potentially no windows. It is clean, but older (I did mention it was in OLD San Juan, right?) and has a bit of a “you get what you pay for feel.” But seriously, stay here, just don’t stay IN here. We used it as place to crash out after a red eye flight to NYC followed by our flight San Juan. And we slept very well with the AC on in total darkness. Check in is at 3, out is at noon, leaving us lots of time to explore. And they held our bags for free before we took off to board our cruise. It is not the Ritz, but we left feeling rested and clean, so a win in our book.…

It was sufficient for what I booked it for. We stayed the night before our Carnival Cruise docked. We got there after Midnight and we had no problems checking in. The elevator was broke however, the guy at the desk carried the heavy bags up for us.

The accommodations here are very basic. The interior rooms have no windows; the lights in my room were either obnoxiously bright or too dim. The shower was difficult as the pressure was very low and lacked temperature regulation. However, I will say the staff were very friendly and helpful during the stay. You could not ask for a better location in Old San Juan. You are literally less than 10 minutes walking from almost every major place you would want to visit. As many other reviews have stated, you do get what you pay for; however, if you are just looking for a place to crash as you explore the town, I would recommend giving this place a try.
