Excelente lugar para disfrutar San Juan
Pros:

La ubicación, la comodidad, contaba con todo lo necesario para una buena estadía

Cons:

El reducido espacio del baño, dentro de la regadera se encuentra el lavamanos y no contaba con ventilación, tema menor pero es un detalle

Pros:

Fair priced, perfectly located and the staff is warm and helpful. We particularly enjoyed Lin’s welcome. We’ll be back!

Cons:

The room we stayed in didn’t have windows, although it was well ventilated.
It can get a bit loud with inconsiderate neighbors early in the morning, but that’s not the hotel’s fault per se :)

Excelente en general
Pros:

Céntrico para moverte por San Juan. Tiene área de comida cerca para desplazarse a pie. Zonas de visita turística y fiesta a unos pocos minutos en Uber. Todo lo necesario para pasar una estancia cómoda en la ciudad. El personal muy amable y dispuestos a ayudar y resolver dudas. En especial Lin es un amor de persona muy cercano y cariñoso!

Cons:

Algo que yo hubiera podido descartar del hotel sería el aire acondicionado que hay en el hotel, para mi gusto está demasiado frío. Durante mi estancia no utilice el aire acondicionado de la habitación porque con el que transmitía el exterior hacía la habitación era suficiente.
