Arrow DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel San Juan {PRI}

Couldn't find much on this hotel using the search function. The hotel is a recently converted Best Western in the South-Condado area of San Juan. I stayed there last week for two nights and one night at the Hampton Inn.

The hotel was quite nice and the rooms are recently renovated and everything is modern and new looking. As an added bonus they provide free internet in the room and free wireless in the public areas (you do have to ask for a WEP password though).

I did have one shock though. When I compared my bills, the 20 dollar per night more Hampton Inn room was actually cheaper. The Hampton Inn has a tax rate of 9%. There are no resort fees. The Doubletree has no resort fees but the tax rate is 26% even though it is about 3 miles away.

I asked the hotel manager about this but they had no idea why the decrepancy. Needless to say 26% is lot so keep this in mind when booking the room. Otherwise I recommend the place.
