Most of the rooms have no windows (that's right); there is no control over the temperature in the room (it is set floor by floor by management); the staff are friendly however there is only a day shift (8am - 6pm), afterwards a night guard sits in the stairwell; if you have a problem after 6pm, then you live with... more

Our stay in the SJ Suites was a remarkable experience. This boutique hotel is located in the heart of Old San Juan, the rooms are new, and the staff is always willing to please you. The rates are really great, so it is a Best Buy!!! It also has a great jewlry store in the first floor of the building.... more

SJ Suites is a great value compared to other hotels in Old San Juan. SOme positives are: cost - definately cheap for the area, location - in the middle of everything in Old San JUan - you can walk to everything from here, and the staff is very friendly (Family owned hotel). Some negatives - continental breakfast is coffee and... more

We stayed at the S.J. Suites for one night pre-cruise in March. Based on some of the earlier reviews, I had expected a little nicer place. But in a city where every other hotel was either priced stratospherically or got dodgy reviews, it wasn't bad at all. We were in one of the windowless rooms, which I didn't mind, but... more

If you're looking to be right smack in the middle of Old San Juan, this is the place for you. It is literally located over some shops on a popular shopping street. The ports are three blocks away. There are restaurants everywhere you turn. And you can walk to sites like El Morro and St. Cristobal and the governor's mansion.... more

This is not El Convento,but neither is the price.This is the next best option in old town. 2 blocks from Cruise terminal. Rooms on street can be noisy and I agree about air conditioning; they did adjust it when asked. Breakfast is meager, but there is a great Puerto Rican "diner" around corner by Radio Shack which is GREAT! All... more

We had one of the windowless suites. Concrete walls, sparse furnishings, tiny bathroom. Only good for sleeping - and that somewhat a problem because there is one locked thermostat for the whole floor (fortunately we figured out how to access and adjust it!) One advantage of a tomb-like atmosphere -- it was QUIET, and once we got the temperature right,... more

If you don't mind staying in a windowless room, this place would it be for you. Two rooms on each floor have no windows - this hotel is sandwiched between buildings. The rooms that end in 1 (301, 401, etc) face the front of the street and have a large row of windows which they say can be noisy. The... more
