Clean room with basic necessities covered. Friendly staff. AC runs well. Continental breakfast with good variety. Parking availability is one of the best features due to location. Across the street is one of the Tren Urbano stations.

Very helpful and pleasant staff. Small but very clean room. Breakfast was good. No elevator! Just took my time carrying my bags up the stairs to the 2nd floor. The staff did volunteer to help. Great recommendation for dinner!
Would stay there again.

The room was clean and the staff was friendly. The room had a TV with Roku and airconditioning. The breakfast was a small buffet of prepackaged foods. The hot water didn't work on all days. The property is close to the train station. Overall a quiet and pleasant place.

Nice hotel but no elevator or desk phone in the room. Staff is very nice. Breakfast is minimal. No where to eat around there, convenient right next to a train stop.

The staff were not very welcoming, we felt like we disturbed them when we checked in. The room was ok. The air conditioner was loud and when it kicked on it woke us up. The shower had no hot water. The continental breakfast was good, the coffee very tasty. I hate leaving poor reviews, but this stay was way below my expectations.

No elevator. Lots of fun schlepping 50 pound bags up 3 floors to our room. The room is about 10 X10 with a bed, table and TV that keeps dropping internet connection. They did not turn on the AC before we came so room was about 90 degrees and took several hours to cool down. The bed and sheets were clean. Breakfast included some fruit and pop tarts. I think we left some medication there. Did not respond to our email. Definitely will not be staying here again.

Hotel Nest is super cute w/ spacious, clean rooms, and extra friendly staff. I enjoyed morning coffee in common balcony areas. BUT…the location is strange; not much to do (restaurants, shopping, bars), lots of vacant buildings, and not as lively as I’m used too in PR.
Even still we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel!

It was not suitable for handicap persons as there was no mention of steps, I had a lot of trouble climbing up and down.
Breakfast was far below expectations. Only good part is staff that went an extra mile to help me with my disability. Please mention it in your website.

The room was clean. The floors needed updating. Staff was exceptional--especially Abraham. Very helpful with luggage. Needs handrails all the way up to the first floor vs partial. No blow dryer in room but was provided upon request. Need tourist information and maps in lobby area. Downfall was there was no elevator.
