"Amazing value! The hotel and its location is perfect for the budget traveler who isn't planning on spending the whole trip in the hotel room. This room was no-frills except where it counted -- the bed is very comfortable, the AC is quiet and cold, and the bathroom/shower is clean and well-appointed. Walking distance to some incredible restaurants in Miramar, the arts district, and La Placita. A short 5ish-minute Uber ride to the beaches and Old San Juan. Around the corner from some really great...
