This inn is pink stucco and right on the street -- Ashford Avenue in the Condado. The office is open air. Through it you can access a cheerful sitting room with tiled floors and a walled patio garden area with tables. The inn is 3 stories and has no elevator. It is rated ** by AAA. The rooms are off interior hallways. They are quite basic with tile floors and air conditioning. The bathroom in our rooms had only a shower--again quite basic. There is cable TV.
While the rooms are definitely not like the rooms in a luxury American hotel, the place has a certain charm. We enjoy traveling "like a local," and enjoyed our stay. I most enjoyed having breakfast (continental breakfast plus included in room rate) in the patio area among the tropical plants and lizards. We visited with other guests--some from the US mainland and some Puerto Ricans.
Just down Ashford Avenue are a number of shops (some VERY expensive), restaurants, Walgreens, and gelato available catty-cornered across the street. We walked down to Chili's one evening--about 6 blocks. The Condado beach is less than 2 blocks away.
The only parking is on-street, but we were able to get a parking place all 3 nights. The manager let us park in the little drive one night and said he would watch for opening, but a space opened just as we headed up to our room. He stood in it until my husband got the car turned around and parked.
