The location and rooms were clean and great! The cleaning staff was very helpful upon my arrival - I was charged $20 to check-in 30 min early which was lame but it was so hot out and needed to get into AC - wouldve appreciated a little hospitality on that but other than that loved the shared fridge space so easy breakfast - can't beat the location!

Amazing and recommend
This property is cute! It os very cleana nd the staff wete so sweet and accomodating. It is a great llcation to everything you need and more. You can walk for food and also uber for a great price to other locations.
It is a self sufficient place with great safety. They also provide a quick guide to help those not familiar with the area. It is a smaller inn but that was a bonus for us. It is also a locak business so +++++

Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful! However, we experienced unresolved toilet issues for a week despite multiple attempts to fix them. The location is very convenient. If you’re used to staying at high-end hotels, this may not be the best fit. But if you’re open to a more cultural experience and can adjust your expectations, it’s worth trying something different. If modern conveniences are a priority, you might want to stick with what you’re familiar with.

Clean, Tidy, No Nonsense Stay
Very Clean & Properly Kept - They were very proactive in making sure we had the codes for accessing the door & the room.
Will certainly mark this as a favorite to stay put while visiting San Juan
