San Juan Vacation Packages

The property was off the main strip but it was still in a decent area. The staff was awesome! Wish there was more places to eat in the area and there was early check in available.

El Colonial was a great place to stay. Walking distance to everything in Old San Juan. It’s a very old building so the floors seemed not so clean in the room we had, but I wore slipper socks. Beds were very comfortable and bath all were clean. Free beer and wine and other alcohol free, soda and free coffee in the morning. It was quiet enough with the AC fan providing a white noise- outside noises on Cinco de Mayo were a bit loud. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

The price was right however you get what you pay for. We stayed 5 nights and no housekeeping was ever in our room except to check on a leaking wall after rain. The carpet was a soggy mess but no attempt to clean up was made. We tried to get the shuttle into town a couple of times but either there was no one to drive it or it was gone. We enjoyed walking however some times that shuttle would have been nice. People at the front desk were generally helpful - some more than others. Breakfast was abysmal although I appreciated the coffee machine. Hotel is a bit out of the way.

The Urbana is carved out of newly renovated historic buildings, making for a unique and centrally-located stay. The staff is friendly an helpful, and a bar across the street offers drinks and music. While I stayed there, a couple big music/dance events happened at an events venue also on the block, so the whole street felt alive and energetic. It is about a mile walk to the center of Old San Juan, and you pass lots of plazas and sites of interest on the way. A bakery is just down the block offering breakfast and lunch options, and a co-working space next door is available for guests who need to be on the clock while in town. The rooms are small, but with the beach only 10-15 minutes away on foot, and with San Juan all around you, who needs to be in the room? Even so, the hotel was meticulously clean and comfortable. Depending on the time of day, the water might be more warm than hot, but the in-room AC makes climate control easy. I will definitely seek to stay here again!
