We stayed here for one night after arriving unexpectedly in Ponce. The first night we checked in late, went straight to our room, walked out on to our balcony to discover it was located directly over the trash bins. The bathrooom was sooo outdated.I was totally exhausted so we decided to stay the night and deal with it in the morning.Throughout the night we endured loud banging. We didn't realize that deliveries were made throughout the night. We checked out the pool area in the morning and decided that we would stay if we could have a first floor pool view, AWAY from industrial noises. They were able to accomodate us,however, this room was even more outdated than the last!The bathroom had lighting fixtures that were such a dark shade of yellow from age that you couldn't even see your own shadow in the bathroom. The mirror was cracked and stained.... We made a quick u-turn back to the lobby and quickly decided to check out the Hilton down the road.Holiday Inn cost $160 Hilton $220.As soon as we pulled up we took a deep sigh of relief. Spend the extra couple of bucks,it was well worth it.

We just spent a week in this hotel. It was okay, nothing special. I couldn't tell that the place had had any renovations. Everything seemed old. Our room wasn't the cleanest, either. The swimming pool is nice. You can see the ocean from the hotel's balconies and the swimming pool, but I wouldn't call the view spectacular. The view O.K. Hotel is on the main highway and there is a lot of traffic. It was a little difficult at times to get out onto the highway. There is also a lot of road construction going on right now. Also, the beach is not accessible from this location. You have to drive to a beach.
I think the rooms are overpriced for the type of room and the location of the hotel.

Stayed for 2 nights in June and was surprisingly pleased with the hotel. We were also given a room on the executive floor, yes the bathrooms are small but the room overall was spacious and not at all dated. The continental breakfast and evening cocktail hour in the private room on this floor was a nice perk. The staff was friendly and helpful. Loved the pool. Most likely stay here again when visiting the Ponce area.

My husband and I stayed here in Feb. '04 and we were pleased with the hotel in general. We had a room on the executive floor and got a very nice, quiet room away from the casino and also a very good continental breakfast. As far as the previous review goes, we did not think it was that bad of a room-and who goes on vacation to stay in the room, anyway? The nearest beach was not all that good-nicer ones in Fajardo or Condado-but the pool was nice. Would probably stay here again.
