Many problems with this hotel

At @$270 per night, there was no hot water and the inside portion of the door lock fell off so one person had to stay in the room to let the other one back in. The hotel refused to give us a discount saying that as we booked through Travelocity the hotel was not responsible for their poor maintenance. No hot water and no door lock in San Juan is a major problem and one which caused us great inconvenience.

This is the life!!

We have tried to book a room in Feb but it is full again! We went to the Sunday buffet which is fit for a King and Queen!! \nThe food quality is exceptional and the service outstanding, as well as the strolling quartet with those lyrical tunes of the culture as well as pops. You must go there after Mass for an elegant afternoon.
