"Check in was great! Communication through text was amazing & informative. Got there late and instructions to get to our room was really well done. Would have had a hot breakfast, but the yogurt, banana and boiled egg was an added plus to get us gluten free peeps ready for our trip to San Juan. Office girl had to locate once, but overall it was an A plus in accommodations and service."

"The room was clean and comfortable. The chairs were a little uncomfortable, but but terrible. The bed was not great ... it felt like maybe the bracket in the middle was loose. It squeaked and wobbled when I rolled over. That said, the staff were really friendly and it's a convenient location. I would give this place another chance for sure."
