“In the middle of a race track, in the middle of no where.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 August 2011

person found this review helpful

The hotel was owned by Lajas Racing and was in the middle of its racetrack. Literally. I had to drive under the track to get to the room. The property is also cool because it has a turtle pool with big turtles. There were lizards, etc. And some crazy, loud tropical birds in th emorning. The breakfast was in a cute little cabana style room off of the outdoor pool. The main staff spoke great English. But limited when it came to housekeeping, etc. Which is okay, I was in PR. Just saying. The drive was long and over the mountains from San Juan. You go past Ponce, past the Holiday Inn Casino, and then your exit. And it is YOUR exit. There is literally nothing else at the exit. The race track and hotel. That is it. No gas stations, no restuarants, etc. Nothing. The beds were awesome.

Room Tip: The 300's rooms are newer and bigger. The 200's have high very ceilings.

“Never Never Nevrt Again Unless Uoulike Cold Shower”

I thought being a Choice Hotels it will be to their standards. It was nothing but disappointment in every aspect. Bathroom was so small and No hot water at all. I thought of calling front desk ... Phone did not work. Think twice before going there. Choice hotels needs to reinspect rooms so loyal guest would not suffer... It wss hortible experience. Never again.

“Better than expected”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 September 2010

people found this review helpful

My adult daughter and I stayed here one night during our six-day tour of Puerto Rico. We were simply looking for a decent place to stay in between places on our tour - and the Quality Inn met that need. I had concerns about staying here based on reviews - about it being in the middle of a race track and the presence of mosquitos. Neither were an issue. When we arrived, we did notice that races were going on; the front desk staff recommended the garden side (opposite the track side), and we did not hear the race noise at all inside the room. At check in we were given a can of "Off" bug spray - which did concern us some. However, we did not encounter a bug inside or outside the room. We did not use the pool, but it looked inviting. The breakfast in the morning was good. The garden areas were a nice bonus; we took pictures there to remember the occasion. FYI, I did use Choice Privileges points instead of paying cash for the room, but I would have paid for it if I had no points.

“Nothing special”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 April 2010

people found this review helpful

We needed a place to stop overnight enroute to our next location and came across this place. The staff at the reception desk were polite, helpful, friendly and professional. The rooms, while clean, are really in need of an overhaul. The room looked rather worn out and dated. It was fine for a late night arrival/place to sleep but I wouldn't stay there otherwise.

“Excellent stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 March 2010

person found this review helpful

Everything about this hotel was great. The staff at the desk and the security guard were very friendly and helpful. It was very reasonably priced. The pool and breakfast were very good. There is a charming pond with turtles and large goldfish on the grounds. It is right next to a raceway but we didn't notice the noise in our room and I'm pretty sure it was a race night. There were very few guests when we stayed which was kind of good in that we got the pool to ourselves. If you are visiting the south coast this hotel is a good place to stay.
