My stay at El San Geronimo was a mixed bag. While the hotel's location near beaches and dining options was fantastic, my room was small with a less-than-pleasant view. The breakfast didn't quite meet my expectations, but the beds were comfortable, and staff were friendly. Overall, it served its purpose for a short stay. 🏖️

My stay at El San Geronimo was a bit of a mixed bag. The location was perfect, close to the beach and some decent restaurants, though the breakfast left a lot to be desired. The rooms were comfy, but quite small, and I ran into a couple of issues that needed addressing. Overall, it was a decent place for a short stay, but there's definitely room for improvement.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at El San Geronimo. The location was great, being close to restaurants and the beach, but the rooms were on the smaller side. I found the cleanliness to be hit-or-miss, and I struggled a bit with noise both from traffic and other guests. Overall, it was a decent experience. but not one I'd rush to repeat.

Rooms

The rooms were quite small, which was surprising for American standards. I found my room to be clean, but there were issues with sound insulation that made sleeping difficult at times. The bathrooms were functional, though simple, and the layout wasn't ideal for more than a short stay.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating throughout my stay. They were helpful when I needed assistance and even offered to hold my luggage before check-in, which I appreciated. However, I did experience some delays in response times when reaching out regarding charges after my stay.

Location

The hotel’s location was fantastic, within walking distance of many restaurants and the beach. I enjoyed exploring the nearby shopping area and felt safe walking around the neighborhood, despite it being close to a main road. Ultimately, it was a centralized spot for my activities in San Juan.

Dining

The breakfast options were quite limited during my stay. I found the offerings such as bagels and luncheon meats to be a bit lacking, especially with my nut allergy making it difficult to find something safe to eat. A hot breakfast would have been preferable.

While the décor of the hotel gave off a nice boutique vibe, I did notice some areas needing attention, such as leaks in the hallways. The hotel also lacked some modern conveniences, like phones in the rooms, which made requesting assistance a bit less convenient.
