San Juan Inn

"The property is unique, built against the rocky cliff. The San Juan River flows directly in front. There are some sitting areas on the property where you can watch the river. Restaurant on site is ok. We had breakfast there. The service was slow and by the time we got our meal, everything was lukewarm. The room was nice, two double beds ( one squeaked with every move). It was a good place to stop for a night rest."
