Upon arrival we were greeted with a line of 5 parties waiting to check-in, one employee at the front desk. We waited over 15 minutes before someone finally noticed and sent for some help. We were not offered help with our luggage and then told we had to take the elevator up, cross the bridge and take another set of elevators up to our floor.
We paid for a suite and though it was large, the door to the patio stuck, the door to our room stuck and one of the two elevators in our tower broke down, causing crowds of guests trying to utilize one elevator in a large hotel. We also asked THREE different employees over a two night stay (AND TIPPED),a front of the house employee, housekeeping and a manager if we could get a blanket for the sofa - No Blanket was ever delivered. The halls were consistently filled with dirty towels and linens. only being cleaned up after 5 p.m. and the majority of employees were polite, but not overly welcoming.
The pool was nice but unusually cold, the hot tub was lukewarm and the beach, though the lagoon was nice and the water clear, if you like waves - I wouldn't recommend staying at this property.
Upon check-out we had yet to receive our bill, I had to approach the front desk and request it, then the front desk employee asked if we enjoyed our stay... my response, "not really" he then interrupted me and said - "here is your bill".
We moved to another hotel, it was also listed as a 4 star and it SIGNIFICANTLY changed our view of San Juan. It was worth the additional $25's a day for the service, hotel location and comfort. We are HHonor Members and I don't believe we have even stayed at any other HH location with a 4 star rating lacking the cleanliness and service.
