Our stay at Gonzalez Hall was great! The room was cozy and comfortable with photos on the wall that provided a warm comfy home vibe. Future upgrades should include a larger bed since the room's can support it. Overall, awesome location and great staff. Mariola was very responsive and attentive to answering our questions during Hurricane Erin. I would definitely book again. Respectfully, Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Edgar Santana

Just a Great Stay


This was a great surprise and stay for us. The room was clean , the bed was extremely comfortable, even for 2 adults. Soap/shampoo/ conditioner dispensers were a nice touch . I would definitely do this again . Very convenient to the old city.Also the 24hr convenience store was fully stocked and served us well. Email notifications were prompt and the whole process was super easy. Thank you SAN JUAN MWR And Ms. Mariola.

EXCELLENT IMPROVEMENTS!


My wife and I stay at La Puntilla guest housing around once a month or so for the last few years. The rooms are always clean and ready but have been pretty spartan as far as furnishings, which is understandable since the rooms are for the most part barracks. We recently stayed two nights in June and were super surprised to discover significant improvements to the rooms. New, functioning window shades, shower amenities (shampoo/bath gel etc), wall art, and new bedding to name a few things. These improvements, coupled with the always professional interaction with the MWR guest housing representative, have really improved the overall experience of staying at La Puntilla guest housing. Our hope is that the physical facilities around the base will take notice of the pride displayed by MWR and do the same. It’s hard not to notice the trash on the base such as coke cans, wrappers etc. We pick it up but noted several Coasties walking right by trash without bending a back. This negative aside, our stays on base hosted by MWR are still super enjoyable. We appreciate the improvements!!!

Lodging at Coast Guard Station, La Puntilla, San Juan PR


Lodging at La Puntilla was excellent. Room was clean and well equipped. Can't beat staying in Old San Juan for a very reasonable price. Parking inside the base was a plus given the scarcity of parking in old San Juan. We loved the fact of being within walking distance from tourist attractions, restaurants and all kinds of shops.

Very Convenient to Old San Juan


My wife and I spent two nights at USCG Base La Puntilla. Very convenient to walk Old San Juan and all that it has to offer. The facilities are very clean. Lots of great MWR information for all sorts of activities. Spartan accommodations just right for spending the night after a day in town. Hands down the best bang for the buck in OSJ/Condado/Miramar area.

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 - Carla, 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!!

We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Emma Rodriguez for hooking us up last minute at the guest quarters. The accommodations were ideal for my situation at the time, as I had to make frequent visits to the VA hospital for a procedure, and then recover before a long trip back to Aguafilla. Thank you!! The quarters, dining facility, and staff are the best, as expected, and you all made us feel like one big Coast Guard family.
