Staff were very helpful. I wasn’t too happy about not having an elevator, but the gentleman @ the desk helped us with our luggage. I will be using this hotel again if and when I return to Puerto Rico. Also I was very pleased that the subway was right next door and this hotel is very close to the airport Luis Muñoz Marin. Thank you again ☺️

This hotel is clean and had guest parking. It was suitable if you just need a place to sleep before a flight. Be aware that they enforce highly specific rules, such as dress codes, a ban on visitors, and no alcohol. While the room itself was cute and clean, the policies felt heavy-handed for paying guests on vacation. It worked for our quick transit, but don't think we would book again.
