Holiday Inn Express San Juan

[cruisindoggie]

I looked for info in the North American Homeports section and did not see San Juan as listed.

 

We are wondering if anyone has input on the Holiday Inn Express in San Juan, we booked there for a good price in January for $139.00.

 

The website has limited information and was hoping to hear what some of your comments are.

I've stayed there. It's a nice little hotel. Small pool and a short walk to the beach. Plenty of places to have dinner around there and some night life.

It's an older, refurbished hotel in an urban area, but as the previous poster mentioned, within walking distance of the beach.

 

For a one night stay with no sightseeing in mind, it will do.

Thanks for the quick answers, it seems just right as it is just a layover type stay and a nice easy dinner within walking distance.

Check out San Juan over on the Ports of Call section...lot's of info there on hotels, places to eat & other good tips for SJ...

I think you'll find San Juan under Ports of Call - Caribbean instead of North American Homeports.

We have never stayed there, but we have cruised once!:D

We stayed there last spring and it was quite nice. As others have said nice restaurants in the area and short walk to the beach.

We took a taxi into OSJ and went for dinner at Raices. The atmosphere is great there, if your in a hurry don't go but if not enjoy and relax.

DW and I stayed there pre-cruise in January 2010.

 

Nice staff, good complimentary breakfast, easy 30 minute ride from airport and to pier by taxi.

 

Short walk to Avenida Ashford in Condado District.

 

Recommend restaurant called Cafe del Angel on Avenida Ashford. Great Puerto Rican specialties.

 

You can also take walk over to Marriot Stella Solaris for drinks at their massive lobby bar.

 

Don't forget that you will also be paying tourist tax of 20-25% extra on room so that you are not surprised.

 

Have a wonderful cruise.

Thank you! I ate there and could not remember the name. Post cruise we stopped in for dinner and the cafe was filled with passengers from the same cruise. We all laughed and shared cruise stories. I highly recommend the Sangria there. It's made different and very tasty. :D
