SirRedman Posted June 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Comfort Inn - Condado $160 total per night Embassy Suites - Carolina $199 total per night We're flying in the afternoon/evening before our cruise and probably won't feel like doing much after our long flights. May want to explore a little bit in the a.m. before we leave for our cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rewind Posted June 22, 2018 #2 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I've stayed near the Comfort Inn so that area would be my vote. It gets you away from the airport. The beach there is public and you can walk through the park just to the north of Comfort Inn to get there. Punk burgers are great and we had a good breakfast at Latin Star. There is also a Walgreen's and a CVS in that same area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted June 22, 2018 #3 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Why not consider staying in Old San Juan ? We tend to like the convenience of the Old Town Sheraton and will stay there again this September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the El Convento If you can get a decent rate?:D Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthCarolinaBelle Posted June 26, 2018 #5 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Agree on staying in Old San Juan. They have lots of old boutique hotels that are really historic and unique. We've stayed in Villa Herencia and Casablanca and loved them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirRedman Posted June 26, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I've got the Sheraton booked (which I believe is also in that same area), but was looking for something a little less "chainy".... :D:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've stayed in Villa Herencia and Casablanca and loved them both. I’m intrigued by Villa Herencia. It looks lovely and very authentic. But I sure expect the pics were pre hurricane. If you were booking now, would you choose this hotel? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starrcards Posted July 8, 2018 #9 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I'm staying at the Hyatt Place San Juan/City Center, which is across the from the Pan American Pier for the RCI ships. We are staying there pre-cruise in December. On our previous cruise out of San Juan we stayed at the La Concha in Condado. If all things were equal (And they are not, the prices in Condado are significantly higher), I would choose Condado. Many choices of restaurants of all ethnic persuasions on Ashford Avenue and as others have pointed out a CVS and a Walgreens nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The buildings in Old San Juan are hundreds of years old, so they've been through many storms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather not use Trip Advisor as there is no way of knowing if professional services are used to produce the five star ratings that are all too conspicuous!
