P.R. Laws tit. 10, § 713
An innkeeper shall be liable to a guest for the loss of wearing apparel and other property, or damage to same (but not including valuables as defined in § 711 of this title), which were kept in the bedroom or bedrooms assigned to such guests, and shall be liable to a guest for the loss or destruction of property (other than valuables and damage thereto), which may have been especially entrusted to the care and custody of the innkeeper, only if it shall appear that such loss or destruction occurred through the fault or negligence of the innkeeper. In neither case shall the liability of the innkeeper for the loss of property (other than valuables) or damages suffered by said property exceed the sum of one thousand dollars ($1,000), in the bedroom, nor of two hundred dollars ($200), in any other place under the control of the innkeeper, unless prior to the occurrence of such loss or destruction of the property, the guest shall have declared a higher value to the innkeeper in writing. For the purposes of this section, property (other than valuables) shall be deemed to have been specially entrusted to the care and custody of the innkeeper when the same shall have been delivered to the innkeeper for storage or safekeeping in a storage room, baggage room, parcel or check room, or a place other than the room assigned to the guest who delivered such property to the innkeeper.
In regard to wearing apparel delivered to an innkeeper for cleaning, washing or ironing in a laundry or other establishment operated by the innkeeper, said innkeeper shall be liable for the loss of said apparel or damages suffered by the same, provided such loss or damage has occurred through the negligence of the innkeeper. Provided, however, That the innkeeper shall not be compelled to clean, wash, or iron any wearing apparel when, in his judgment, there is a risk that said wearing apparel may suffer damage in the process of cleaning, washing or ironing it.
