This state was super comfortable, right in the center of old San Juan. The weekend we arrived it was super busy because there was a marathon going on but the front desk and the on-site bar was super accommodating and friendly. Smells real nice inside and super clean and modern. They are doing some work on the place but aside from that it was perfect.

Great central location. We spent 4 days here and the experience was great. Staff is ultra friendly and helpful. This hotel has an open bar which is great. Lots of shops and restaurants surrounding the property. This is a nice little boutique hotel in a building that’s 200 years old. We loved our stay here and would recommend it for active travelers looking for a home base.
