My title says it all. Nothing fancy at this hotel, but it delivered where it counts the most. We were in San Juan for a weekend excursion and this place fit the bill. Great price, and great location to drive from. We rented a car and drove everywhere. A bit hard to ge around since road signs aren't Puerto Rico's... more

You can't beat this location, right on the Plaza de Armas. We stayed here one night prior to our cruise. There was a festival with live band on the Plaza, so there were lots of people, and the band was very loud. We stayed for awhile, then went to our interior room, glad we did not have a room facing... more

If you want a great spot for your money before your cruise with the atmosphere of a hotel built in 1920, convenient to El Morro fort, Old San Juan and the cruise dock, this is the spot ! Friendly, helpful staff, the rooms are clean but olkd. Narrow stairs are part of the charm. Standard rooms have no windows, so... more

We were on a pre-wedding trip to meet wedding planner, photographer and to visit the Caribe Hilton which is where the wedding will be held. We also wanted to stay somewhere relatively inexpensive and centrally... more

The Howard Johnson (formally the Plaza de Armas) is by far the best hotel to be found in OSJ. It is located at the original Plaza and within a few blocks of literally all the museums and the Fort. It is also just across the plaza from 2 drug stores and the grocery store. Very convienant for all those forgotten... more

This hotel is perfect for flexible visitors who want a central location and don't care about being pampered. The staff is friendly, the rooms excellently clean, the beds comfortable. Yes, the a/c is noisy, but plentiful, and the transom over the door lets in too much light at night. Lots of hot water. The elevator is a pain in the... more

We stayed one night before our cruise and it was fine-clean and save. It was in a great location and they held our luggage the next day after check out while we toured San Juan. We ate at Barchinna around the corner for lunch and it was fantastic-try the sangria and pina coladas. more

My wife and I stayed at this hotel on the night before our cruise took off from Port. This hotel provided everything we wanted -- it was within a 10-minute (all down-hill) walk to the Carnival Cruise Line pier, it was affordable and right in middle of Old San Juan's historic locations which meant you could easily walk to the... more
