Not to say that I would want to stay there, but I did have to run into the Normandie hotel in San Juan to meet someone for a SCUBA dive. The place was a classic Art Deco kind of thing, and it's probably has a long history in Puerto Rico. A colleague of mine was actually staying there, and commented, "Yep, cool decor, but the workout room needed some help" Ah, the price of style.
