Subpar
Pros:

The location was good it’s near everything. The property was clean and well kept.

Cons:

Paper thin walls I could hear everything in the hallway and from the rooms all around me as if they were in the room. Someone came into my room at 9 am on the day of check-out and checkout wasn’t until 11am. I was in bed at the time. The room is extremely small.

Hotel de 4 estrellas pero con características de Airbnb.
Pros:

La ubicación es muy buena porque esta muy cerca de la playa , cafeterías, restaurantes y lugares de interés turístico.

Cons:

Yo lo reservé por esta plataforma y con un precio cerrado para 9 noches pero luego cargaron a mi cuenta más dinero de lo acordado, reclamé al hotel y dicen que es asunto de Booking.
Durante nuestra estancia vinieron solo 2 veces ha limpiar la habitación aunque dejábamos el cartel en la puerta para solicitar limpieza, (parecía un Airbnb), las chicas del servicio pasean por los pasillos muy temprano hablando muy alto entre ellas, no respetan el descanso del huésped, la habitación tenía una ventana pero bloqueada por lo que no hay ventilación natural en el interior.

0 RECOMENDABLE, BUSCA CUALQUIER OTRO ALOJAMIENTO.
Cons:

Decepcionante. La primera habitación presentaba varios problemas: la manivela de la ducha estaba rota, uno de los grifos del WC roto y había un fuerte olor a humedad bastante desagradable. Además, era muy ruidosa.
Ante esta situación, tuve que solicitar yo misma un cambio de habitación. No solo no me lo ofrecieron inicialmente, sino que además pague un suplemento por la nueva habitación.
La atención en recepción fue muy inconsistente: mientras una persona me indicó que no había disponibilidad, otra posteriormente me dijo que sí y así con todo, muchísima falta de profesionalidad. En general, la atención al cliente fue bastante deficiente y poco amable.
En la segunda habitación, que se suponía de categoría superior (tipo suite), el aire acondicionado tampoco funcionaba correctamente, y parecía que el problema era conocido, ya que había un cubo colocado debajo. A esto se sumó la falta de ayuda con el equipaje, a pesar de que iba bastante cargada y salí sola del hotel.
Tampoco pasaron a limpiar las habitaciones aún dejando el cartel de que pasaran y comentándolo en recepción.
En conjunto, la relación calidad-precio me pareció muy mala y la experiencia general también, tanto que me fui una noche antes de lo que tenía pagado.

Kind staff and great breakfast, but the room condition fell short of expectations
Pros:

The housekeeping staff, and especially Suhei at the front desk, were very kind, welcoming, and always willing to help.

Cons:

The room fell below expectations. The air conditioning was not working properly, and the toilet had issues, some of the fixtures and details in the room seemed unfinished or not fully maintained. Also, during my two-day stay, the room was not serviced or cleaned. The room did not have a phone either, which made it less easy to communicate with the staff.

The overall impression was that the property may have gone through a recent renovation, but still needs improvement in some of the smaller details.

On a positive note, the room was very clean when i first got in and bed was comfortable, the restaurant next door (Mome), which I understand is part of the same group, was excellent, their breakfast is exceptional, and the service there was very pleasant.

Pros:

Location was next to restaurants and easily walkable to beaches. Modern facilities and staff helpful to provide recommendations for restaurants. Felt safe and close uber to downtown Old San Juan and cruise port.

Cons:

My account had been hacked and was sent messages to verify my reservations twice in attempt to gather personal financial information...never happened before to me on booking.com and see now new management when checked in. Also could not get hot water for shower and told after that facet worked in reverse?..

Comfortable bed
Pros:

The bed was very comfortable. A good location on the whole. Spacious room that would suit a family.

Cons:

Check in staff member came across as rude (the morning staff member was lovely however). Cistern in the toilet wasn’t working properly - had to fiddle with the flush to get it to stop flowing. Lots of areas in the room felt unfinished - exposed bits of wall/plugs etc. No extra lock on the door which would have been nice.

this hotel was close to OLD TOWN San Juan which was convient, as well as close to the Cruise Piers 4
Pros:

Breakfast was good and the location was very handy. Lots of choices and the service was perfect. Since it was only the 3rd day in operation they were off to a great start. Staff was friendly and helpful The owner came over and introduced herself. I wish them well in the days to come and as business continues to improve they wall be offering longer hours and further choices for lunch and dinner perhaps. Given its new beginnings the layout was bright and clean, The satff was eager to please and help in everyway possible.
