We stayed here for a couple of nights over Easter weekend and had a lovely time. The service was very good and the front desk helpful. This is not a 5 star property, but they do what they do well. We booked the "Honeymoon package" for our family which included tshirts, a bottle of champagne, dinner for 2 at the... More

The hotel is in a secluded area, with a great view from the top of the hill. The pool is okay, although there is not bar or snacks outside. The rooms and halls are a little run down, and the TV only got a few channels. The front desk staff were very nice and helpful. I don't remember too many... More

My husband was in the area for business, and we thought this hotel would serve us for a few nights. I basically stayed at the pool and read, and I was comfortable. The room was very adequate and clean with nice linens. We had a king bedroom with a balcony overlooking the pool. The room had a microwave and small... More

I needed somewhere to stay in Ponce for 1 night before going to the airport to return to NYC. I had previously stayed 4 nights at the Hilton (supposedly the #1 resort and hotel in ponce and the worst place I've stayed), so I tried to find something else. When I booked the Holiday Inn it cost me more than... More

My wife and I stayed here for one night because the Ponce Hilton was full. At half the price of the Hilton, for a room with a balcony and ocean view, facilities are fairly new and kept clean, they have plenty of helpful employees who greeted from check-in to check-out. I stayed on a Thursday which happens to be the... More

We stayed at this Holiday Inn location on February 26th and truly enjoyed our stay. We were greeted by friendly people at the reception and were given a nice big clean room.

Stayed for one night the day after Christmas. The hotel stands alone on top of a hill. Late check in, staff was very friendly. Room 319 was comfy, big and very clean, bathroom was spotless.
