This is the worst hotel i have even seen. The other bad reviews are true even though some people were being kind. Upon arriving at the hotel they inform you that if the 1970 tv remote control is lost or damaged there is a $500 fee, if you lose the key there is a $300 fee. If you smoke in... More

My room had unmade beds and a piece of chicken had been left in the microwave from the people before! to top it off there are so many bugs. any review that speaks highly of this place obviously work there....

This place is a step below a youth hostel. The rooms are old, filthy, small. The pool in the picture is really a fountain. Check in is 3. Not 2:45. My flight was early and I arrived to the hotel at 2:45 and the woman at the desk figured an appropriate greeting was "check in is 3. Come back." The... More

I was here with my sisters, and since we are all students, we wanted to save a little and chose this hotel. The rooms weren't clean, the beds had sand on it. We had loud and creepy room neighbours. There were also bed bugs. However, it is in a nice area of San Juan, and the beach is really close,... More
