Nice facility but road noise

The facility is nice and the rooms are well appointed but the road noise and traffic at night is a problem. The restaurants near by are great but I would not return because of the noise. They need speed bumps on the road in front of the hotel or something.

Quaint Inn nestled within a friendly neighborhood. You can see the beach, which is within walking distance of the Inn, from the balcony. Cute coffee shop right across the street. Easy self check-in and out. Room was spacious and modern. The bed is listed as a king but is two twins pushed together with a mattress connector. The mattresses are comfortable but the dip that's created if the mattress connector isn't secured correctly is very uncomfortable. Overall I really like the Inn and would booked with them again.

Fantastic stay

The location was only a block from the beach and near all sorts of good restaurants. The only drawback was the road noise, which we were aware of going in. If you can, get a unit in the back (5,6,7) where the noise might not be as bad, but some of the cars had such loud subs that I think you could probably hear them loud and clear all the way to the beach! The room itself was spacious, the bed was comfy, the shower nice and hot, and all the amenities were there, including coffee maker, fridge and microwave. Parking was within a block of the inn. Check in was easy and they were very communicative.

Not really a hotel, but more like an Air BNB with self check in and no reception area. Nice clean and modern room with everything we needed, including coffee and waters complimentary. We stayed here for 3 nights to visit El Yunque and surrounding beaches. The top floors 6 and 7 have the nice view of the ocean, and the roof deck outside. Great location for these day trips. This area of Luquillo also has some good restaurants and a nice cafe across the street for breakfast. Easy street parking.

Cute property with a nice rooftop deck and a great walk in shower. Loved the beach chairs and umbrellas that were at our disposal. Very short walk to the beach and a great bar and grill and coffee shop right across the street!

Smooth check in and out procedures. Property was clean and as expected but every time it rained (which was often) the window leaked leading to large puddles on the floor. We sacrificed most of our towels to keeping the floor and our belongs dry.

I didn’t see one cop the entire time I was there. That should tell you how safe Loquillo is. On the weekends it’s loud all weekend. There was someone over the loud speaker till about 6am but I slept through it for the most part. It’s very walkable and have a few great restaurants in the area. The room was so clean. I went solo and never felt like I was in danger. The beach is right around the corner. There is good coffee and breakfast across the street and a liquor store/bar pretty much across the street. Loved it.
