Good overall, but could not control air conditioning system from turning off in the middle of the night several times and turning on abruptly. Resting was a challenge for this reason. I love the location, food and service. Only thing I would change is being able to control my own air in the room and parking situation, if you are lucky you get parking in front but if it’s full the hotel offers no parking.

The hotel was beautiful but overbooked. I paid over $700 a night for 2 beds and ended up with one bed and a rollaway. I received a $100 hotel restaurant credit to compensate. The location is good but I was disappointed with the room.

This is a beautiful place to stay for a few nights in Old San Juan. There seem to be many events at the property but we did not hear a thing in our room at night. The pool is nice and the wine/cheese hour is lovely. They did not clean our room everyday and that was disappointing, but we had a wonderful stay overall and would go back!

Amazing historical location. The service of the room staff and the person helping with our laugage was amazing. The pool area was clean and peaceful. The terrace place offered an excellent midday break. I would probably eat outside the hotel because the restaurant service was a bit slow for my taste, but all in all it was an excellent stay and i would definitely come back again.

Hubby thought it was “fine”. ~Run!

The hotel is in a very popular historic area with lots of restaurants and shops. Very cool from that perspective. It’s exactly what we wanted. The building is hundreds of years old and in a way, it was interesting. However, they seemed to have made very few improvements. We checked in and got the keys, which were actual keys on a key chain. I was kind of excited thinking it was sort of cool and hip, but it was the first sign of how the rest of the stay would be. The interior was very dark and dated- heavy dark wood with lots of scratches and gashes in the walks and woodwork. Absolutely everything is original, which some people probably like, but I found it to be creepy. It felt like a junky old, worn out building that smelled old and dirty. As I laid in bed and looked around, the old phrase “bed chamber” came to mind and it made me laugh. I feel like the owners are hiding behind its authenticity s an excuse to not update it. Couple other things to note, there is no parking, not even on the street and no valet. You have to park in the public parking garage a half mile away and drag your luggage uphill and over cobblestones. What sums up the entire stay and really says it all is that the shampoo and soap containers in the shower were completely empty. Plenty of conditioner though. When we were dropping off the keys at checkout, I mentioned that they need to fill the shampoo containers and the response was “you didn’t mention that last night”. Huh?
