JWGrayson Posted November 8, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 8, 2023 We are sailing out of San Juan in April 2024. I looked at hotel prices and was shocked at how high they are. I ended up booking the Dreams Hotel Miramar using Expedia/AARP website for $200ish. The pictures on the booking website looked fine, but a while later I looked at the hotel on Google Maps and was shocked as it had graffiti all over it. The street view picture was taken in Feb 2016. Does anyone know if the hotel has been improved and is the area safe? 635 Av. Manuel Fernández Juncos, San Juan, 00907, Puerto Rico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The graffiti has been painted over: https://www.google.com/maps/@18.4538081,-66.0868245,3a,75y,19.35h,91.61t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sAF1QipNfdg57_glkmVBQrV_a3-5_GWsrY-vOBe0NYr6l!2e10!7i10560!8i5280?entry=ttu The hotel's own website https://dreamsmiramar.com/ describes the property as a "budget hotel" and asks "Are you looking for cheap hotels in Puerto Rico?" so they're being honest...this isn't exactly a luxury property.

Thanks! I don't know why the newer pic didn't show up for me. I found reviews on TAdvisor that were not very flattering. But, seems to be clean and they include a shuttle to the port. So, I'll likely keep the reservation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
