Condado Vanderbilt Hotel

I arrived at 3:40 pm and was told that the room I booked is not available. The front desk staff guaranteed that it would be ready by 4pm, but when I came back at 4:06pm I was told again the room is not ready. I finally checked in by 5pm and nobody explained why. They gave me two key cards and one doesn't work which kept me out of the room when I came back from swimming the other day. It is the most terrible experience that I have and I definitely don't recommend this hotel

Service was good, but disorganized. Sundeck was nice. Staff was friendly whenever you saw them. Our room had a musty odor and did not smell clean. There's a big variation in rooms. We upgraded to an "Oceanview" room - but looked out onto a roof and an abandoned building with the ocean tucked to the right. When I complained, they said their "Oceanfront" rooms are all suites and cost $200 more a night. What? So not worth it! If I was to return to Puerto Rico, I'd stay at La Concha and eat at Pinkys everyday. Vanderbilt was so not worth it.

The hotel itself is very pretty and historical. The pools are tiny, the service is subpar, housekeeping was always late and turndown service was spotty at best. The receptionists weren't helpful at all, in fact it felt like they were doing us a favor every time we had questions. The service at the pool often took up to 45 minutes to come by and it felt like they were purposely not making eye contact in order to slow things down even more. Not recommended.

Nice bar and location Rooms are ridiculous small. Cleaning of rooms can happen until 9pm and was never done before 6pm for us. Gym has lots of cardio equipment but little other machines. Bar tender at wine bar was not aware how to make a Gin & tonic!
