This place was ok for a last minute booking. Some rooms do not have their own bathroom in the room, it’s across the hall. Common areas do not have AC. Our room had a working AC unit, shower handle fell off when we turned on the water, it was fixed the next day. Staff is very friendly and helpful. It’s not situated in the nicest area. Uber rides to Old San Juan ranged $6-$15.

Upon arrival we were greeted by the front desk who was more than helpful. She put together a little pamphlet of nearby places to eat and things to do which was very nice. The room was cute and clean as well as the shared lobby area. Also the location is close to many restaurants and beaches. The staff were very exceptional and very friendly, and made us feel welcomed. I highly recommend staying here.

Small boutique inn. Our room was spacious and had enough room for the 3 of us. Beds were comfortable and staff was helpful and friendly. Located close to shops, restaurants and the beach. They also had a separate parking lot where I could leave my rental car. Would definitely stay here again, next time I visit PR.

The room has the basics. We need it just for a couple of hours every night (two nights) but the room needs some love and care. The good thing was the service. Miss Botello was amazing, she helped us with everything and made us feel at home. Of course has a good location it depends on what you need was ok for us they can do better and we did make some suggestions

The front desk ladies were so lovely (Nicole and Maria I believe). They made me feel comfortable, safe and were so informative on the area! I would love to come back! My only issue was that there should be a shelf inside the showers to hold bath items. But other than that, it was close to everything and I had a great time. Also loved the waters stocked in the fridge!
