After traveling to PR out of an emergency, my wife and I tought that staying in this hotel the night prior to boarding our flight to NY would be a good idea. First the price is all a reflection of the location. That is what you are paying for. The rooms are small, the TV is a small flat screen 13 in tv on the wall. The beds are very hard. No room service, the restaurant is just a counter with a toaster over, a microwave and a hot plate. The bar is just liquor stacked up with someone to watch over it all. No parking, except airport parking, and no discount for it at all. During our stay, the water went out, in the middle of a shower. The only thing this place has going for it is the location, but the embassy suites is right in front of the airport, and will be our next choice during the next trip.

This is not where you want to spend your vacation, but for an overnight booked and paid for by the airline that didn't hold your connecting flight, it's just fine. It's a $20 cab ride to Old San Juan and the check-in for American Airllines is literally just outside the hotel doors. As noted, rooms are small and basic, but for sleeping and bathing, perfectly adequate (well, the water could have been hotter). The free breakfast was passable and the business center had 4 computers available, making it easy to alert everyone back home of our delay. I would not go out of my way to stay here, but as it was on my way, it was acceptable.

Even with a facelift inside, this is still fairly basic accommodation with a distinctly 1960s motel feel about it. The price is definitely not from the 1960s!

The biggest selling point is the location - literally part of the terminal building! In fact, if you are flying American Airlines, their check-in desks are a few yards from the front door. The main airport parking, the taxi rank and the car-rental pick-ups are right outside.

The biggest downside is also the location!
Not a very scenic location, nothing to do and nowhere to go, unless you like airport food outlets and the cheesy hotel "casino" (a couple of rows of slots). We couldn't even see the runways! A flight change meant we unexpectedly had to spend two nights here, and without a rental car we would have been crawling up the walls with boredom!

We did try the free rooftop "Spa"... two hot tubs and some sun loungers with a 10ft. non see-through fence around it. Surreal! With a view of nothing but the sky directly above we bathed to the sound and smell of jets taking off and landing!

The rates are inflated to reflect the location. Anywhere else the rates would look like very poor value. The rooms were no better than I would expect from a basic, but clean out-of-town motel. The bathroom was clean and the linen was good quality. The TV was tiny and had a fairly limited range of channels.

We had a late evening flight and asked about day rates. Personally, I think $125 for 9am-5pm is ridiculous! At least they put our cases into secure storage for no extra charge. We opted to save the money and sit in the terminal reading!
