“The Looking Glass Hotel, set in the neoclassical building in the Santurce area, places guests in a vibrant, arts-centric locale. While the neighborhood may feel a bit gritty, it's a trade-off for being immersed in an authentic San Juan experience. I think the hotel's modern design and convenient location make it a solid choice for those seeking a cultural experience.”
