Good stay hotel was cute and clean. Staff was great! Cons: Terrible bed. Was woken up at 11:30pm by the smoke alarm which was extremely loud and scared me. They didn’t figure out why they went off.

The hotel was conveniently located in Old San Juan which was perfect! Not to say all rooms are but ours was small with really no view so that was a little disappointing. Other than that our rooms were clean, beds were fine, check in was easy, and staff were friendly. I would definitely stay again when visiting Old San Juan. FYI parking can be challenging..
