San Juan Inn

San Juan Inn

8/10 Good
"The location is amazing, you are right on the mountain! The staff was wonderful and helpful, especially the little lady in the diner. She was swamped, but served everyone quickly and kindly. The facility is definitely starting to show its age, it's clearly been remodeled several times, and the dead bolt for my room was either broken or fake because it spun all the way around."

"This place was amazing. The host was great and responsive. I wish I could have stayed longer because it was so relaxing. I would definitely stay again in the future. It is great for couples too. The host did say there weren't a lot of food options close by which is so true. Grab some things before you check in. The store at the front is so cute. If you want a drink or to make a cocktail, sit outside and relax, the store is perfect for that."
