When we booked, I was a bit concerned because reviews were either excellent or quite disappointing--with very little in between. It all depends on the room assigned! When we first arrived, we were ushered to a rather dark and very musty room on the first floor. It's an old historic hotel and I tried to be understanding when my request for a change was met with a promise for housekeeping to refresh. Once the windows were closed for overnight, however, the dankness returned and irritated my sinuses enough to require medication in the morning. I politely insisted that we be moved that day and was accommodated by Rachel once the checkout period was over. The new room on the top floor was sunny and fresh. No more sinus symptoms! Then, I was able to really enjoy the gorgeous historic property with charming courtyard, the lovely views, the PERFECT location with easy walking throughout Old San Juan to restaurants and attractions, daily coffee on the terrace, and the excellent bar. In addition, a relationship with a property on Isla Verde enabled us to have a lovely beach day with complimentary chairs, towels, etc. And Rachel and her colleagues (am forgetting his name) were gracious in checking in to make sure our stay was improved and all was well. I'd highly recommend.
