I have stayed at this hotel many times during my travels to Puerto Rico. It has always been clean and accommodating. We were checked into a building adjacent to the main hotel on this trip. Within moments, our baggage and bed linens were overrun with tiny roaches. The front desk attendant was very polite and helpful in immediately relocating us to a different room in the main building. The replacement room was very clean and roach free. I will chalk this experience off to an unusual one off and give them the benefit of the doubt.
