We enjoyed our stay. Our room was small but still convenient for what we needed. Beach towels were provided as long as you return. The only hassle we encountered was the walk to the parking lot is about 6mins but that is no fault of hotel. Just each outting it became annoying and took time and we had to haul or belongings but we still made it work. We would return again.

The overall vibe and location was great for old San Juan - the inside was amazing with a lofted (open air room) and 2 bedrooms. The only downside was the noise all night long (we stayed on a wednesday night) which made the lofted room pretty loud as a result. Also, didn't have access to the crib we requested when booking (my bad for not following up on this!) - but we made do as we were only staying for one night!

OK if you can tolerate the quirks

Fortaleza Suites is a somewhat quirky hotel, very conveniently located in Old San Juan. The key system was unusual, the room key was stored in a 4 digit lockbox outside the room. With no deadbolt on the door, I would be concerned about security except everyone must pass the front desk, and the outside door is locked much of the time. Our room had a refrigerator, and there is a common area with a kitchen with microwave, shared dishes, and tableware. Buying frozen dinners at a nearby supermercado and heating them worked well for us one night for dinner, rather than paying Old San Juan prices at a restaurant. Not so good, but tolerable, was the shortage of electric outlets. We had to unplug a dehumidifier to have a place to charge phones overnight. This issue is mitigated by outlets and a charging station in the common area. Marks against include the non-working TV, apparently the Dish box was out and couldn't be replaced in the three nights we were there. The plumbing was flaky. The shower worked at a light but ok pressure, with the temperature fluctuating whenever someone else used water. There was a clearly long standing leak from the pipe holding the shower head. And they asked that used toilet paper be disposed in a garbage can rather than the toilet, due to sensitive pipes. Worst was the lack of housekeeping service. Asked daily via text if we wanted service, we said no once and yes the next, but the room (including toilet paper bucket) was never cleaned.

It is impossible to sleep while the nightclub across the street makes the walls pound until 1:00 am. The owner refused to address the issue and wouldn’t respond to my request to cancel my second nights stay.

The hotel was beautiful and centrally located. The only ‘downside’ was that the hotel says they have laundry available, but they really do not. The front desk person told us the washer and dryer are free to use, but it turns out the dryer does not work at all. Besides that we really enjoyed the stay.

This hotel has a great location and was clean. We really only used it for showering and sleeping. The hotel can use some TLC as some paint was chipping in the bathroom, but thats part of the price. For the price it was not bad.

Loved the proximity to different restaurants and activities. The staff was very patient and welcoming as well. The biggest downfall was the noise from the street outside from the street. It went on for all hours into the morning. Luckily, we only stayed one night so it was manageable with a nap upon returning home.
