Fairmont El San Juan Hotel

Fairmont El San Juan Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I would say I enjoyed my stay there, but I wasn’t happy about the smell in the room and in the hallways my TV didn’t work the first four days but other than that everyone the staff was very pleasant and helpful. They try their best to accommodate us so would I ever go back? Yes I will and I would definitely recommend but that’s it other than that. They fix those two problems and that are breakfast. I think they need to have more Puerto Rican food."

"Convenience, location, the resort amenities not really the best I find the pool is small and by the way I have stayed at the Hampton Inn many times. The convenience is what I’m looking for. Sometimes a parking was a little stressful because I had to wait for some car to leave or just go around to the back of the hotel to find parking where is I like going into the front but for the future I probably would find a different location to stay again. The food by the pool is excellent by the way that’s one of the best qualities that I found"
