I recently had the pleasure of staying at Fortaleza Suites in Puerto Rico, and it was an exceptional experience that exceeded all my expectations. Nestled in the heart of Old San Juan, this charming boutique hotel offers an unbeatable combination of comfort, convenience, and character. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality by the attentive staff, who made me feel right at home. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, setting the tone for a relaxing stay. My suite was a delightful blend of historic charm and modern amenities, featuring elegant decor, a comfortable bed, and a well-appointed bathroom. The room was impeccably clean and maintained to the highest standards. One of the standout features of Fortaleza Suites is its prime location. Situated within walking distance to a plethora of shopping and dining options, it was incredibly convenient to explore the vibrant streets of Old San Juan. Whether I was in the mood for local Puerto Rican cuisine, fresh seafood, or international dishes, there was a fantastic restaurant just around the corner. The nearby shops and boutiques offered a diverse range of products, from handmade crafts to stylish fashion, making it a shopper’s paradise. The hotel’s facilities were equally impressive. The cozy common areas provided a perfect spot to unwind after a day of sightseeing, and the complimentary Wi-Fi made it easy to stay connected

It was the perfect spot for a 1 night stay before leaving San Juan. It was clean, quiet and in the heart of Old San Juan. Off sight parking was easy to find and walkable with luggage. The staff was friendly but had to ask twice to get things done.
