no elevator in the lobby, only a staircase. very small room — barely enough room for two people to comfortably walk, get ready, and leave their things. small roach in the "kitchen" sink, ants coming out of the cracks in the caulk that sticks the bathroom sink to the wall, no drinking water except water bottles during breakfast (which is just quick snacks like granola bars, fruit cups, yogurt, poptarts, etc.), dysfunctional air conditioning and water pressure/temperature in the shower, only 1 pillow per person, the list goes on. good place to stay if you don't mind being 15+ minutes from the main parts of san juan and missing out on comfort and amenities in exchange for spending less money. would not recommend if you are trying to have a nice vacation with even a little bit of luxury because this experience definitley caused us to have a little bit of a negative perspective on our trip. would probably be worth it to spend the extra bucks per night at a nicer hotel.

Nice hotel

Cute hotel with a nice history! Convenient location too. I enjoyed the breakfast. The room was comfortable and had a nice little kitchenette if you wanted to stay longer. The worst parts are the shower and the mosquitoes at breakfast in the outdoor area. The shower flooded the bathroom because the drain was clogged. I thought the cleaning person should have realized this if the shower was cleaned, since it flooded immediately. The breakfast offered was very nice with many options. As I was enjoying my coffee, I ended up with very itchy legs due to the 13 mosquito bites. A fan on the floor would have helped them not to land on me.

Compliment

The room was clean and organized. The hotel location is in the Center of Río Piedras. Near, You have an ice cream store, pharmacy and a Police Headquarters. Also, You have ATI a Train Station beside the hotel. The TV service in the room was available in spanish and English. Even the Smartv they have in the room allows You to connect with tour phone using Airplay and or Smart Connect. The services of iron, iron board, blower and iron for the hair, You asked for them in front desk. Over all service, excellent.
