We loved staying here! Everyone was so nice, and even according to the locals it was safe to walk from the hotel to near by areas. We are very active and found it convenient to walk to Old San Juan from here and back. Helps with all the eating and drinking! 10/10 recomendé this hotel. Will be staying again!
