La Calma Poshtel
This was exactly what I needed for one night. The room was clean and easily accessible upon arriving. The bed was comfy nice sheets and great quilt. The a/c was amazing lol the room was very cold when I walked in. They provided towels and a few extras in the bathroom.

The Royal Sonesta San Juan
It was a beautiful property, however the room was not as well maintained as the rest of the hotel and did not match up to the price. Also found the cost of food and drinks unreasonably high for what you were getting. I have stayed at other places in the area that were nicer and much more affordable ...

AC Hotel by Marriott San Juan Condado
I absolutely love the AC Hotel! This is my 3rd time staying with them and they are so accommodating. Anything you need just ask. If they don’t have the answer they will find you one. 10/10 would recommend.
