Coming back!


I had a very pleasant stay at Gonzalez Hall Room 205 from October 10 to 13, 2025. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-prepared upon arrival. The amenities met expectations, and the environment was quiet and relaxing — ideal for rest. Communication with the host/staff was smooth and courteous. Overall, a great experience that I’d recommend to anyone visiting the area.

I like this place is exactly what I need when I travel from the west to the capital to hangout, everything is so close by. It was clean and the AC was also clean. Will try to stay monthly or bi-monthly. Front gate seem a bit disoriented on how to direct me to the specific building. I know it is not their job but little knowledge won’t hurt.

Clean and reasonable, good communication


We had a nice clean room at a very reasonable price. Communication with regard to our lodging was excellent. I would suggest you let future guests know they must go up a flight of stairs and there is no elevator. We were also disappointed that the galley was not open on the weekends. It was nice to be in walking distance of Old San Juan and we enjoyed the location.

We want to thank the MWR Guest Housing team for helping us out….again! I think this is our 6th or 7th time staying at La Puntilla and we couldn’t be more pleased with the team’s helpfulness and the accommodations. A special thanks to Karla as it seems to us she goes the extra mile for her customers. Gracias, Matthew and Sarita Marlow (USCG Retired)

Gonzalez Hall, Room 205, 12-15 December


Excellent visit to Base San Juan. The staff at the offices and on site perform their duties above and beyond expectations. Victor and the other lady at base San Juan are always helpful and perform flawlessly. Emma's replacement - Karla, is knowledgeable and helpful. My rooms were clean and well maintained. Parking is always sufficient. I have no complaints. the management should know that their employees and facilities reflect the high standards of the armed forces. Well done and thanks!!

A little get away


Second time staying in this place and we love it. You have everything you need in the room and the best view of the San Juan bay. Walking distance of so many nice places and restaurants. Plus a super safe place. My favorite guest house so far.

Great stay for the price and being on base. The fridge and microwave is good to have in the rooms. Room 205 need the lights changed in the shower and toilet area, they are out. Other than that it was great and highly recommended.

Fabulous location and people!


Convenient and beautiful location. Our second time in two years and hope to come back again. Not a luxury hotel for sure but comfortable. Only suggestion would be to have WiFi available in the room. Emma and her crew are nice and responsive. Thanks for everything!

Base San Juan Gonzalez Hall


What a wonderful location. Emma was proactive with communication and everything was well planned and prepared before our arrival. The room was typical quarters but well supported with a/c, mini-fridge, microwave and anything else that might be needed. The base is 2 blocks from old San Juan and a very easy walk to the fort, restaurants and night life. We will definitely return!

Clean and Easy!


Check in was simple and fast. The room was super clean and comfortable. Location is awesome! Observations, not complaints: Bed is small. A more comfortable chair would be nice. AC unit is loud and constant. Only one "other than white" towel for make-up/extreme dirt! All in all, an excellent value and a great location.
