"The hotel and the room was clean, but all you get is one bedroom and one bathroom. So a little tight. We were able to hear the toilet flush from The Other room, in the middle of the night. Noises in the hallway, we had no windows. It was in the center of everything So that was awesome."
"This is the second time that I have stayed at this hotel and it is a really nice boutique space in San Juan, specifically the Santurce area. The rooms are super spacious for the affordable price range and smart TV is absolutely a plus. Also, it is a great place that is walking distance to good food and central locations like the museum of art and other great amenities. Absolutely a value stay!"
"Hotel staff. Very rude. There was no staff all over the hotel when we arrived for check in. There was a sign on the desk “ back in 30 min”…. Really? Then, when the guy came back it took like an hour to check in a group of 10 people…..
I understand that is entitled to lunch break but Thais is the hotel management. Unacceptable.!"
"I loved everything about my stay at Casa Blanca! The staff was fabulous!! They recommended a good barber and always pointed me in the right direction for whatever my fancy was in the moment. Super friendly and the coffee in the lobby is TOP NOTCH! Strong and bold.
The free water was also amazing! It was hot while I was there but the water in the lobby was always crisp and refreshing. Thank you! My stay was more than memorable."
