The staff was very attentive/friendly, the room was very good and clean, for the price you could not go wrong. It has a restaurant with breakfast, lunch and dinner with mostly PuertoRican dishes what we ordered was very good. There’s a pool that we didn’t use but looks clean. I highly recommend this hotel.
