“In my opinion, this is a neoclassical building in the Santurce neighborhood that houses a modern hotel, well-suited for those interested in the local arts scene. With its convenient business center and memory foam beds, the hotel seems geared towards blending leisure with professional needs; however, light sleepers might find the soundproofing inadequate. Overall, I would say it's a strategically located base for experiencing San Juan's cultural attractions.”
