San Juan Stop Off
Just 2.5 miles away from San Juan's cruise terminal, this hotel's location is a hit with those departing for the Southern Caribbean islands. Visitors to the Puerto Rico Convention Center also favour this accommodation. Reviewers enjoy the restaurants, park and promenade in this Miramar hotel's neighbourhood.

24-Hour Employees
Staff across all departments of this hotel receive heaps of praise for being friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the beautiful, colonial city of San Juan. Guests found the terrific team ready and willing to assist at all hours, making those stressful twilight transfers a much calmer affair.
positive:
Fabulous Facilities
This hotel's well-equipped gym is popular with reviewers, as is its small-but-perfectly-formed swimming pool within landscaped gardens, oft described as serene, modern and stylish. Guests appreciated being able to use the more substantial pool facility and kid's play area of a neighbouring hotel from the same group.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Room to Improve
Guests have experienced long waits after reporting maintenance issues in rooms. Malfunctioning air conditioning and a lack of hot water in bathrooms are a recurring theme. The occasional traveller finds the housekeeping to be on the sloppy side of spotless, though the majority report sparklingly clean accommodation.
negative:
Lousy Soundproofing
Some travellers have reported disturbances from the nearby airport and cruise terminal, while others needed earplugs to sleep due to the constant rumble of air-conditioning. A few guests have mentioned noise carrying from the room to room and from corridors, as well as from local construction work.
negative:
Eat Out
Guests often grouse about the property's lack of food and beverage facilities, claiming that the simple, snack-based evening menu served in the hotel's small bar/restaurant space fails to offer much respite from cruise food. Several travellers were miffed to find the hotel's kitchen does not offer lunch.
