we were staying in old san juan for one night after a weekend of rainforest and beaches so this was pretty ideal. clean, affordable, and well located. the ac is noisy, but works like a charm, especially for us canadians not used to the heat and humidity. the hotels decor is modern, but already feels a little dated, but overall... more

We spent 2 nights here before going to a smaller island. We wanted to explore Old San Juan & the forts. The location of this hotel is great. The staff was very accomodating. Our room was quite large. We had a king suite in the front overlooking the plaza. It was noisy at night but didn't keep us up with... more

I found the Howard Johnson Inn at Plaza de Armas to be exactly as expected, based on these reviews. It was very clean and my singe-bed room was surprisingly large - although it had no window. I had no problems with noise. My room was impressively clean and well taken care of. The staff at the front desk was efficient... more

Don't even think about staying here if you value your sleep. The noise levels throughout the night were TORTURE. Hall light streamed into the room through a window above the door- so I was left to try and sleep with bright lights and noise every night. Phone in the room didn't work and water was never hot, just lukewarm, and... more

We stayed at the Howard Johnson Inn Plaza de Armas for one night (last weekend) prior to leaving on a cruise. We basically needed a place to sleep and shower, so we weren't concerned about amenities. What we loved about this hotel was the fact that our two kids could have separate beds. Our spacious room had a king, a... more

This is a remodeled, older hotel, so rooms are small, without windows, but the bed was very comfortable and the room was very clean. I think it... more

This is a great hotel for staying overnight before or after a cruise. We needed a room with 4 beds to accomodate two children, ages 6 and 10. I was a little nervous after reading the comments on the cockroaches (and there are lots of them in PR!), but there was not a single cockroach in sight.. We knew that... more

I stayed here for five nights while doing some work for a nonprofit. The primary pluses are location and cost. It is in the center of Old San Juan, on a nice little plaza. A full grocery store is one block away. The hotel serves a breakfast in the morning that includes fruit, cereal, etc., served on paper plates. Nothing... more

I had booked one night at this hotel after a Caribbean cruise. It’s in a great location of old San Juan, with plenty of shops, restaurants and right next to the Plaza de Armas. At first glance it seemed like a great place. I booked two rooms on separate floors and was shocked that both rooms contained beds with hairs.... more
