    Housekeeping was inconsistent. Bar manager was not helpful, he wasn’t rude, but he wasn’t helpful. George, maybe Jorge, the bellman was so helpful, so friendly. He truly epitomized great service.

    Beautiful building and rooms overlooking a partially open plaza and restaurant. Sits next to a lovely square and across from a cathedral so beautiful it will make you believe in God again. All of central Old San Juan is within walking distance.
