Plaza Paitilla Inn Hotel
Excellent breakfast buffet, early check-in and late checkout available, very helpful front desk staff. The pool area was a nice place to spend an hour although the pool could use a refresh. We really enjoyed walking the neighborhood to find laundry, groceries and other services.
