I couldn’t imagine a more convenient location for touring old San Juan. There were a ton of restaurants and shops within a few blocks. The major San Juan attractions were easily within walking distance. The hotel was clean and had the Old San Juan charm.

La Terraza de San Juan
Unique and superior amenities. Bryan the barista made the best cocktails on the island and the bar was very classy. Miguel and his mother made the best breakfast I had on the island in the rooftop. The room made you say, “wow!” When you walked in.

We stayed one night on our way to Tortola and our room on the 2nd floor was damp and very dark. No windows and not much lighting. Our next room on our return from Tortola was much better. It was on the 4th floor and it was not damp. It had windows so not so dark. Room was fine for an overnight
