The hotel was lovely, but when we got to the parking lot, the lights went out, which was a bit spooky. To make things safer, maybe we could add some motion sensors that light up the parking area when someone gets in to the building

Hotel was fine. Room was clean. We parked our car in the hotels lot (locked at night) and took Ubers to Old San Juan (about $12-15). Be aware there are lots of homeless people in the area.

Last time I was in Puerto Rico I stayed at "Coral by the Sea". It wasn't very nice.. read my review. Hotel Next was very clear am the room was nice.. I arrived after miidnight but the staff were friendly and even carried my baggage to the room. Everything in the room worked and I was given the WI-FI password. It worked fine. Breakfast was fine and It was given help with my l luggage. I asked them to call me a taxi and it arrived minutes late. Bottom line I will stay there next time I am in Puerto Rico. Very clean and well kept a nice interior.

To start it was easy to book a room. Once we arrived the staff member was attentive and even though it was close to midnight, he mentioned a couple places to visit them and there or breakfast sits close by. Amenities were provided upon request with no delay. Room overall was in clean and had all the basic items to get food warm and keep food cool if needed. Thank you!

Decent stay

The best thing about my stay were the ladies at the front desk. My phone didn't work at all on the island and they made sure I got connected to my family. The big guy who checked us in was kind of a jerk, and seemed kind of snobbish, and a smart arse. It was not appreciated. All the other staff was nice. I didn't like someone else's hair in my shower. The breakfast choices were ok. The bed was big and comfy, and the room had nice decorations and kitchenette--no stove. We didn't have any Internet the final morning, so you have to be careful with the island outages and rain, and plan ahead.
