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

Well- true to the reviews the HoJo has cheap, clean rooms with loud air conditioners. Because there is no window to open you have to use the AC. Location is excellent for Old San Juan so if you are just staying for one night I would say go for it, but this hotel is pretty much just for sleeping. There... more

We used this hotel for an over-night stay to give us some time in old San Juan before and after our cruise. The location worked out well as this hotel is at Plaza de Armas in the heart of old San Juan. The rooms we had were small but clean and (as some said) the air conditioning can be noisy... more

My sister and I stayed here Memorial day weekend for one night prior to our cruise. I found the hotel to be nice and well maintained, did not notice any bugs. The elevator was slow, but it worked. We had a king suite. While the room was somewhat small it was nice, clean and the balcony was an added extra.... more

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
