I’m not sure if we received a non renovated room, but our room floors were dirty with mildew and other stains. Other rooms we passed by appeared clean and newer tiled. The shower handle was backwards cold vs hot and we weren’t told until we took cold showers and asked why we didn’t have hot water. Some really easy fixes to get the hotel up to basic standards. I try to support local hotels as I travel around the world each month, and there are always hits or misses and this was a definitely a miss for the high customer rating. We checked out a day early and switched to another hotel for the last two days of our weekend.

Staff are very nice. Rooms and hotel are very clean, chill and nice. I would’ve love to enjoy hot water in the roof top tubs. Had a wonderful time though! Highly recommended.
Beautiful view from the roof top.

The place is nice with great customer service. Our shower diverter did not work so we had a cold shower. I appreciate the bottle service and the open bar.

I don’t even know where to start! This property was absolutely stunning! The staff were so incredibly welcoming and friendly. There’s so many things that make this an amazing place to stay! From the breath taking views from the rooms and roof top. To the unlimited complimentary bar. I would most definitely come back here in the future! Highly recommend!

The room was clean , but we kept having trouble flushing the toilet. I would go down to lobby to use the bathroom. One of the staff members at front desk told me he was not a maintenance man and I was given a plunger to unstop the toilet myself. I tried several times and it didn’t work. The next day another employee was there when I went to address the issue and he came and fixed the toilet.

This hotel is not for everyone but if you want to have the feel of living in Old San Juan, in an older eclectic apartment, then look no further! We had our own private balcony with a tub. Yes it’s on the 4th floor, but the stair climb daily was just added exercise. We had the best, relaxing anniversary trip. Oh and COMPLIMENTARY BAR actually means COMPLIMENTARY! An inviting bar, with friendly service that cost you nothing more to enjoy!

The bathroom is small and the water mixing doesn't work well, taking shower was hot or cold never warm, That's my only complaint. Everything else was fine.
