First, let me start by saying I read a million reviews and did my research before booking a room for our trip to Puerto Rico. 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

We stayed one night on our way to Guanica. We had an impossible time trying to find it as we asked people where the Howard Johnson's was. We had a rental car and finally parked it in a parking garage, which was very cheap. We walked for a long time and people were very friendly, but no one knew what... more

This HoJo is realistically a 2 star property, based on room quality and decorum. I was quite happy for what we paid and what we got. I was realistic in what I expected going to a HoJo in Puerto Rico though. We got a Kind bed "suite" (I assume is probably just a bigger room) which had doors and balcony... more

We stayed in this hotel for two nights before our cruise left port. We loved how historic it is. The rooms are modest in size, but who in staying in Old San Juan to sit in their room?? It is located in the heart of all the Old San Juan nightlife, shopping and historic architecture. We walked to both of... more

The location is perfect and if you are looking to be in the heart of Old San Juan and just need a place to sleep for a couple of days, then go for it . The room itself is ok. There is an air conditioner and you get a little balcony which is nice. The walls are thin and you... more
