It was great! The staff was so friendly, and kind. The property was clean. What I like about it is the location and how it was close to uber to places or even walk to have breakfast.

The location and rooms were clean and great! The cleaning staff was very helpful upon my arrival - I was charged $20 to check-in 30 min early which was lame but it was so hot out and needed to get into AC - wouldve appreciated a little hospitality on that but other than that loved the shared fridge space so easy breakfast - can't beat the location!

Amazing and recommend
This property is cute! It os very cleana nd the staff wete so sweet and accomodating. It is a great llcation to everything you need and more. You can walk for food and also uber for a great price to other locations.
It is a self sufficient place with great safety. They also provide a quick guide to help those not familiar with the area. It is a smaller inn but that was a bonus for us. It is also a locak business so +++++

Clean, Tidy, No Nonsense Stay
Very Clean & Properly Kept - They were very proactive in making sure we had the codes for accessing the door & the room.
Will certainly mark this as a favorite to stay put while visiting San Juan

Staff was very friendly and very attentive to the few inquiries we had during our stay, even after hours. The king bed was comfortable and the room was cozy. The shared kitchen area was nice. All appliances are fairly new and the space was very well kept. The staff checked with us on our second day to see if we wanted service or linens changed. A lot of things conveniently located nearby within walking distance or short uber/scooter ride. Overall it was a great stay for me and my wife.

So glad we found this place when on a layover at San Juan airport. Checked in after midnight, and was able to sleep in a fresh clean room. Easy to get to from the airport.
