I need a hotel in San Juan for one night before boarding the cruise ship in November. Any ideas?

We stayed in the Intercontinental. WOW! what a view and what a Hotel. Right in the beach, we were on an upper floor/beach side. It was being re-furbished and we were in one of the finished rooms. This was in 2007:cool:

I would also recommend the Marriott in the Condado section of San Juan. We were able to get it through Priceline for $95/night +tax.

 

I'd stay there again in a minute. It had a beautiful pool and a very nice beach. There is also a casino on the premises.

You can also try the Sheraton Old San Juan which is right across from the pier, that is if Princess uses Pier 4 and not the Pan Amaerican pier. Enjoy the Carribean Princess I am on it from NY to San Juan arriving November 1.

Stayed one time at Embassy Suites near airport. Good features but not the cleanest place. Two years ago stayed at the Hampton Inn. Nice hotel and great restaurant about 2 places down from hotel. Awesome food at a good price. Strong drinks.

The best one night stay I've had in San Juan was at the HoJos in Old San Juan. It is a newly renovated old hotel right in the middle of Old San Juan. Fantastic location, reasonable price, very clean, no real amenities, friendly and helpful staff, and in the middle of a number of great dining locations. We walked the area until the wee hours of the night and never felt uncomfortable. We took the king suite and had two double doored archways that opened to overlook a beautiful square. And it was easy to grab a cab to the pier in the AM. Check out their website.

We stayed at the Sheraton in Old San Juan, which has a nice location. It was expensive at $266 per person (included transfers), but the splurge seemed worth it since their website boasted either Harbor or City views and it was our wedding anniversary.

However, when we checked in to our "deluxe" room, we discovered there was no window at all except for a small utility access window that faced a vent shaft with a fine view of a brick wall about 4 feet away. We asked to be relocated to an outside room with a proper window/view since we thought that for over 500 bucks, we should at least have some kind of view, even if it only looks out at the street. After some persuasion, they did relocate us to a room looking out towards the old city. It was nice, but still not worth the price we paid. They do have a nice bar downstairs. By the way, the rate did not even include a continental breakfast.

We would go back to San Juan again in a heartbeat, but I would not go out of my way to stay at the Sheraton again.

We've stayed at the Coral Princess in Condado during our last 3 cruises. It is a very quaint, clean, boutique style hotel. Rates were reasonable and a close walk to the beach. There's a Walgreen around the corner and lots of restaurants and shopping near by.

We've stayed there 3-4 times - great location in Old Town San Juan. We always fly in the night before the cruise, then walk down to the El Morro - fantastic ancient Fort. El Convento has a restaurant/bar called El Picotio - great tapas!!
