"This is an older but very well maintained property. It feels like summer camp with the different buildings and layout. The king size bed linings and pillows were wonderful. Extremely enjoyable stay."
"Very good experience. Welcoming, jovial staff, excellent customer service.
Notably refreshed & remodeled. Very clean, upgraded shower products. Bed was okay, a bit stiff and firm, if that's what you prefer.
Everything well-maintained and in good condition except the king room jetted tub & tile was very aged, cracked, stained (but clean), and needs replacement - so we disappointingly did not use the tub.
Will stay again when revisiting family."
"This place is excellent for its price point. Affordable and clean, excellent and helpful staff. Only issue was the people who stayed in a suite next door were noisy all through the night. I was wishing there was more wall insulation"
"Good location just 3 block walk to work (hospital), clean room, comfortable bed, 1 block walk from Thai food restaurant and small market, good blackout curtain, small jacuzzi tub on site 7-7 winter hours. Third floor San Juan smallest cheapest room was by elevator, so had some noise."
"This place is run down and old. I would not stay here again. I was first put in a room off the alley. I asked to be moved. It appears I was the only one staying there because I saw no other cars."
"They had no freezer to speak of. The staff allowed me to use the one in the conference room, but it was a shock and disappointment not to have one in my room. A definite need when doing an extended stay."
