Chose this hotel to stay the night before we boarded a cruise in San Juan in late January 2012. Our flight arrived around 8pm on a Saturday and we were looking for a place to crash before heading to the port on Sunday around noon. This hotel is literally at the airport, from the baggage claim you'll need to go outside and up a ramp to the hotel entrance. There were signs to direct you once you got outside.

We booked a Queen room for a great managers special rate, which included continental breakfast, and free wi-fi.

I found the hotel to be very clean. The room was small, but adequate for a one night stay, It is probably on par with a 2.5 star hotel. There is a Buffalo Wings sports bar (not Buffalo Wild Wings as has been reported) across the street from the hotel and also a Wendy's. We we had a nice dinner followed up by a frosty from Wendy's which was very convienent. Continental breakfast was basic but good, fairly standard fare with cereal, fruits, hard boiled eggs, breakfast breads, coffee and juices.

Overall we had a nice stay and we would stay here again Pre-cruise, no complaints!

My husband and I stayed there overnight between a late flight from Chicago and a very early one to the island of Vieques the next day, because there were no more flights to Vieques on that date -- which we knew ahead of time. So we had planned our trip to do it this way, since we'd spent plenty of time in the airport in San Juan (SJU) between flights to and from Vieques over the years and had enjoyed the roulette tables in the casino in the hotel. (I usually at least break even.) We figured we'd spend an hour or so in the casino, have dinner, maybe watch some TV and go to sleep.

The hotel restaurant's menu -- and the restaurant itself -- looked pretty unappetizing, very dark and way over-priced, so we wound up eating junk food and food we'd brought with us for the trip. Even the junk food places close down pretty early.

The room itself was remarkably uncomfortable to spend time in awake: dark walls in a teeny-tiny room. If one didn't have claustrophobia before, this would do it! It was too uncomfortably small to even try to watch the TV mounted in a weird place on the wall or to read! And it was so dark! I am not one who likes a lot of light: we keep the lighting very low at home and in "our" rental casa. I have no clear memory of a pool (or maybe it was across from the "breakfast room"?): just... nothing to do and nowhere to go. I'm unsure where other reviewers found a pool, or maybe it was just too forgettable.

Perhaps the worst part was that the casino had been closed down -- not for renovations, as posted, but because people were going through TSA twice: to get to their gate and get "settled in", coming back out to visit the casino, and then going through TSA a second time. (I tend to ask lots of questions of strangers and get the "real scoop.") It was still closed on the next trip, and on our most recent trip (12/11) it was totally gone.

So there was truly nothing to do -- unless we wanted to cab it to a casino, and we didn't -- especially for just an hour or so, after a long day of uncomfortable flying. Also, we were in "island mode": no dressy clothes, etc. Our plan had been to just stay put at SJU, go to bed early and catch our early AM flight.

Never again. We would take a cab to a place we stayed on another trip to Vieques (Le Consulat) or somewhere else -- anywhere else! Oh, but it seemed clean enough -- from what we could tell in the dark.

We were only expecting the very basic to get us through a business trip..nothing fancy. This shanty couldn't even provide us with that. First, we were told they'd accept our credit card, made the reservation with that card, get all the way to PR from the states and were told "we don't take that card" even though we were told they did by everyone including themselves. We were then left with nothing. Customer service was even showing our card would be accepted. Here's a list of what else is wrong with this place.
- No hot water on any morning...We love cold showers--sarcasm
- The room was no bigger than a train car
- The internet never worked -- 20 minute ordeal just to check my email
- The TV was a little smaller than a laptop screen ( I honestly thought it was a joke)
- The iron was broke
- The safe was broke (tried to get the staff to fix it for three days)
- The room smelled of mildew and damp from day 1 until we canceled our reservation and left.
- Holes in the ceiling were plugged with toliet paper
- One lamp in the room and a very dim light on the wall
- A shower that unavoidably leaked water everywhere (which helped with the damp--sarcasm)

Only good about this place?? Steps to the airport... Quality?? In the negatives...disgusting..I would take cleanliness and hot water over convenience anyday.

Stayed the night before our southern Carribean cruise..clean, great staff, and saves leaving airport if you already have transferrs to boat..the rooms are small and bathroom is short on counter space, but is extremely clean, free breakfast, free interenet service add a nice touch. This is not a five star hotel, but is a great place to stay before or after a trip..I will stay again if we leave from this cruise port.
