If I come back to Puerto Rico I will definitely stay at this hotel again. Clean rooms, very nice staff and housekeeping. They have a shared area with big clean kitchen and the fridge. I can’t say anything bad about this hotel. They have private limited parking but if you can’t get a space there, there’s street parking available too. There’re a few food places within a walking distance as well. They even let us use the shared shower in the hotel if we needed to after we checked out.

The room was comfortable, clean and cozy. The hotel space was clean and quiet and allowed for a lot of privacy. The location was close and central to everything even with amazing food locations close by in walking distance. The staff were welcoming and attentive and the locals that live in the area were help full and very kind. Would return back here any time i go to Puerto Rico. it's worth every dollar spent. Please support this hotel and business you wont regret it!

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.
