It was really incredible stay. The staff is so friendly and helpful, they take seriously of your requests (the tv in my room was not working, they ordered a new one and spent 4 hours installing for me) The open bar is soooooo great, unlimited free drinks, coffee, wine etc all the time! The price is sooooooo worth it, we extended our stay due to this positive experience

The hotel was clean and beautiful. The open bar was a plus but you do need to ask for beverages. Don't assume the staff will ask you. Great location and ambiance.

This hotel is beautiful and has a historic look to it, the floor tiles are so pretty! Super high ceilings and very comfortable room. The open bar was an amazing welcome after a stressful day and a nice way to mingle with some other guests, it's a very calm vibe though so it allows you to completely relax right away. The staff was very nice, helpful, and efficient. I will 1000% stay here again!

The place is incredible great location but staff this time was awful

Great staff and I love the location which is walking distance to restaurants and sites. The rooms are sufficient for a short stay, I stayed here twice and got the exact same room both trips. Having the beautiful lobby, bar, and rooftop makes the place feel more spacious. No elevators but the view from the rooftop is worth the exercise.

The staff was amazing at hotel! It's gives you an old time feel. The bar was a great addition to the stay. There was no elevator but the stairs were clean and had all the safety amenities needed. If I ever go back to Puerto Rico, I will definitely look them up again.
