Very Clean and well maintained though somethings could use updating but it was perfectly fine. Puerto Rico is a very lively island so sounds of roosters and traffic here was not bad, compared to other parts of the island. Not a problem with ear plugs or white noise app. Felt safe - people around but no one causing noises. Would definitely stay again!

we had a short time to find a place to stay at in Hatillo and this was the most accesible to main road we found. Not particularily cheap eventhough our room was not nice per say. Rust in the sinks and bathtub. questionable stains on the walls. Bed was comfortable. We had a mini fridge but no coffee maker or microwave in the room. Only place to get coffee was in the restaurant downstairs which was very busy all the time and barely had time to serve to go orders but the food was good. Staff was very friendly. Our room was mostly to keep our things because we were usually out and about.

The room was very clean and spacious.The shower drain strainer needs replacement due to a fragment of the steel is sticking upward towards were someone with there foot could accidentally suffer a minor laceration.It lacks a night stand and two working lamps.A child desk lamp didn't help us much to see.Lacks receptacles on both sides of the bed.The furnishing and bathroom might not be upgraded to a more modern style decor,but everything was very clean and that I appreciated very much since I'm battling with health issues that require cleanliness and it was spotless and I dare to say,I almost felt like I was in hospital due to the great sanitation detergent they used.The attendees at check in and check out are very courteous,kind and helpful.I give the employees a 5 star.Would I stay again,sure,why not.The details I wrote previously are minor improvements that can help to continue selling stays and create more appeal.I would dare to suggest that the owner if decides to remodel the rooms could work with PVC cabinetry to have made in floaters on walls the nightstands,dresser,probably a cabinet for the mini fridge and microwave,closets and bathroom floating vanity,which is more durable,cost effective and can be easily upgraded if desired to change the exterior colors.I hope to enjoy another stay and may the hotel run for many long years.
