Very pleasantly surprised

I booked into El Portal by chain website and looking at map. for night;s stay before cruise. Were most pleasantly surprised at location a few blocks from sea as well as attractions nearby. Desk clerk could not have been more helpful unless she had bathed and dressed us and carried us on her back to sight-see. Absolutely a gem. Nice view from roof at breakfast with adequate food. Did some more sight-seeing after checkout and hotel took good care of our luggage and us until we left for ship. I have no complaints and intend to spend time there on next San Juan trip.
