Top Río Piedras Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Juan Hotel & Casino

10/10 Excellent

"Embassy was close to everything even Old San Juan was only 12-15 min car ride away from hotel. I love that we could walk right up the street to Isla Verde beach. I also loved the ammenities of the pool, hot tub, complimentary breakfast was a nice touch and saved some money. The on-site hotel restaurant had great food and drinks as well for lunch or dinner at a reasonable cost. I would definitely come back and book again. Entrievenos which is only a block away was a nice upscale steak house that me and my husband also tried and that was a recommendation from the hotel. Overall great stay in a good location and also very close to airport 5 min away car ride. I didn't have a problem sleeping at all. Bed was very comfortable, it felt like home,"

La Concha Resort, Puerto Rico, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"Overall we liked our stay at La Concha, but a few things were annoying for a hotel that was supposed to be highly rated. First, the A/C conked out on 3 separate occasions during our 5 day trip. Not good. Second, we made three requests to have someone fix the blinds. On the first trip the young kid, who didn't speak English, just yanked on the blind with the stick, even though you you could see where the blinds had come undone at several spots along the length of the blinds. Someone needed to show up with a ladder and get up there and re-attached the blinds to the individual rings. This is important because in order to sleep we need total darkness, which we couldn't achieve with blinds that didn't shut all of the way. But we loved the pool and being close to the beach and even the casino was fun."
