I learned of this hotel from Tripadvisor. It was exactly what I had read: inexpensive simple lodging in a convenient location in town. My room was like a dormitory room (small) with a bathroom that included a shower. The price was less than $60 and I only needed one night. It was a place to go to sleep and it was just fine. The breakfast in the morning was reasonable for the price: coffee, cereal, some kind of cookie (or bisquit?), toast. Enough to get you going. And as recommended, I tried the nearby bakery mentioned in someone else's review and that was a nice treat.

Within easy walking distance of the Plaza and the heart of the city, this hotel provided me with a room that was quiet and clean. The hotel service was always available without being intrusive, including maid service to keep the room fresh and clean while I was out during the day and a watchful desk manager to see me in the front door in the evening for an added sense of security. There is also a gated parking facility for visitors. Even with all this, the hotel maintains its historic feel and gave me a real sense of being able to stay at a unique place.

If you're traveling on a budget in Puerto Rico, this is a good choice. Large, clean rooms. One block from the lovely main square in Mayaguez.

This hotel used to be a convent for the nearby church. The biggest disadvantage we found was that the rooms (we stayed in 2 different rooms) did not have windows, so there was no opportunity to get natural light into the room.

The hotel offers free continental breakfast, but it just consists of cereal, toast, small muffins and juice/coffee/milk. Instead, take a 2-block walk to find the Ricomini bakery which is recommended in some travel books.

Stayed 3 nights here while in Mayaguez to see the Caribbean Series baseball games. Hotel is adequate and inexpensive. Rooms are very clean, with a small television (high on the wall). Beds are on the "very firm" side, and because the hotel was full, showers during peak morning hours only reached "lukewarm". We had to ask for a hand towel and washcloth. Maids were extremely friendly; we didn't encounter the rude woman that an earlier reviewer noted.

There are no elevators, so be prepared to carry your luggage up stairs, or request a ground floor room.

We were in room 21, and oddly, there are shuttered windows in the room that open to the lobby. So several mornings we were awakened to people conversing in the lobby. Ask for a room that doesn't have that.

Not the place to stay if you're used to resorts or high-end accommodations, but if you like "unique", you're comfortable in hostels, B & Bs, etc. , and you like to support local busineses, then you'll be happy here.

There is secured parking out back and the front desk folks spoke English and were helpful. Within walking distance are a nice plaza with historical buildings and many unique restaurants.
