San Juan Inns

Small room, with too many things inside. Price too high for his level.

The Gallery Inn makes a wonderful impression when you first arrive because there is so much old world charm and so much artwork and interesting items in the very cool space. The location in Old San Juan is also ecxellent. The customer service really falls flat. It was hit and miss with the staff. A couple of the staff were kind and somewhat hospitable, but there were several who weren't. The amenities were also lacking. If you are hoping for comfortable spaces to relax and read a book, you're really going to be disappointed. The breakfast consists of dry cornflakes, doll-size cups for coffee, and sliced bread, and store-bought lemon loaf. We heard a rumor that you could request eggs, but no one on staff mentioned this to us, and the guy in the "kitchen" certainly didn't give you the feeling that he would be happy to make anything...maybe it was his lack of eye contact or his back always turned to guests. We were happy to have stayed there once, but we wouldn't stay there again.

One of the room (#10) was originally a car garage and transformed into a room... Horrible place, the toilet and shower is seperated by a partial wall that is not connected to the ceiling and a curtain 'door', not even a regular door, you literally sleeping next to your toilet. Spend the extra 10-15 bucks for a regular room. Overall this place is not worth to stay here, not even a single night.

I was happy that those other very negative reviews were wrong. Casa del Caribe is perfectly adequate considering the price. And the location--in Condado--was great! Yes, I had to jiggle the light switch to make the lights come on, and yes, the water in the shower was hard to adjust. But considering what I paid, I was happy to be a little rustic for a couple of days. The coffee at breakfast wasn't to my taste, but there is a Starbuck's across the street. Although I called from the airport, as instructed, I stood on the sidewalk for 20-25 minutes while waiting for someone to let me in. (There is nobody at the desk after five or six p.m.) I hope they will kick in a few extra dollars to get a router that will get the wireless signal throughout the property--not just in the commons area.

Nothing The staff was never there and the room was filthy. The breakfast was mediocre at best. I would not suggest this place to anyone.

If you are not used to under four or three stars I do not recommend. It needs to be updated and cleaned.

Location is superb, right in the center of upscale Condado and 1 block from the beach. Hotel is bare bones type, lacking most amenities. Staff is very limited (usually one person) who does everything. Rooms are pretty clean under these circumstances. In the middle of my stay, the roof was renovated. Job was very noisy and sprayed black filth all over the grounds, cleaned up only when the job was over. Room telephones did not function and no one came to repair them.
