"Location, location, location – but not a lot else. The Plaza de Armas is a rather characterless hotel situated in San Juan’s most character-loaded quarter." Full review

Make sure to experience the 1920s elevator at least once, though stairs are quicker.

"We recommend this somewhat dowdy property because it offers a clean, comfortable good night's sleep in the heart of the historic zone at an economic rate, not an easy find these days" Full review

"Although it's somewhat dowdy on the outside, the Royal Sonesta's remodeled guest rooms are spacious and contemporary, done in soothing shades of white, cream, and brown." Full review

"This hotel's best features are its wonderful pool and the surrounding pool area (with waterfalls and swim-up bars), its pristine beach and oceanside dining, which rambles across a beachfront boardwalk" Full review
