Not So Good
Moved twice. First room not clean and TV went dead. Second room had no hot water, reason unknown. Third room was OK. Very noisy A/C in all rooms. Housekeeping needs to be better, desk staff was friendly and helpful throughout my six day stay.

The supermarket is at the east end of the Plaza De Armas town square. Fair prices there unlike the gift shops. PR coffee makes a nice souvenir/gift.

Good location, but very average hotel...
At the end of a cruise, I spent 3 nights (2 days) here in Old San Juan. The hotel was ideally located for this - just walking around and seeing the sights. However, the noise of the hotel and the absence of windows in the rooms were a big minus for me. Otherwise, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the room was very clean. Breakfast was a bit on the simple side. The room I was given on the first night (of 3) was in a very noisy location, and had no hot water. I was given a better room for the following 2 nights.

unbeatable location for price
The staff was courteous and helpful. The room and bathroom were very clean. The room was quiet. The location was wonderful for visiting old San Juan. This was my first visit. I did a lot of touring with a niece and her family who live in San Juan. There were a lot of good restaurants nearby.

Budget cruiser
In the middle of everything
Awesome location, in the middle of Old San Juan and close to cruise ships (except Royal Caribbean, which is on the other side in the Panamerican port) We got there at noon on Saturday and they let us check in early. The staff was really helpful and knowledgeable, just ask and they will reply right away (we asked about shops, maps, trolley, safe and other topics) In case you forget your toiletries, just tell them and they will provide with complimentary toiletry. We got a balcony room and it was really nice, quiet and cool. It overlooked the park (Plaza de Armas) on the left. There's a trolley stop in front of the hotel, a short and long loop, it is free and will bring you close to points of interest. Get a map from the driver. This is no resort, but it is one great inn.

In Hotel
After you check out you can leave your bags with them, in case you want to check out the city before your cruise. Also, there is a decent supermarket one block in front of the hotel with good prices on liquor and local beverages (ie. Gasolina). And since you will go to the forts, you can get a week pass for $5 which works for both forts. If you want to take a quick dip in the beach there is a pretty little beach in front of the government offices.

Excellent budget/location choice
The Inn at the Plaza De Armas is in the perfect location to enjoy Old San Juan. Everything is within walking distance. El Morro, the Princess Walk, the shops, the food, the night life is all within a few minutes walk. If you have a need to hit the beach, Condado is easily accesible via the public bus terminal, or a cab. This was the lowest priced room I could find in Old San Juan, and for the price there is no substitute. The Inn was quiet, well staffed, and the room was maintained perfectly for each day of my stay (which was way too short). Everyone was friendly and helpful (thank you, Sandra!) and I would not hesitate to stay again. If you are looking for a pool and hot tub, the Inn is not for you, but if you are looking for a quiet, well maintained room in the heart of the old City, this is IT.

El Morro... it's a 10 minute walk- you would regret not taking an afternoon to visit the fort.

Just what I needed
Right in the middle of Old San Juan. The hotel is not very fancy but for the price and its location, you cant beat it. You can walk to all the hot nightclubs and bars in the area.
