mrmapt Posted March 13, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 13, 2014 It is a block of Ashford Ave. Easy walking to restaurants and beach area and shopping. Plenty of taxi's outside, walk, bus line on Ashford. Old San Juan about 3 miles from there. average hotel, no big lobby, not real fancy but moderate accommodations in a safe area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the4things Posted March 15, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 15, 2014 We are booked at the Holiday Inn Express for 2 nights prior to our Feb 2015 cruise out of San Juan. Good to hear it's in a safe area and fairly close to the amenities. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzfiend Posted March 20, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 20, 2014 We also have this booked, but I am going to keep trying Priceline to get something else. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmstro Posted June 12, 2014 #5 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Have any of you ever stayed here before? I've read very mixed reviews on other travel sites but we got such a ridiculously good price that we booked it. Hopefully it will be ok.

volacruzing Posted June 16, 2014 #6 Share Posted June 16, 2014 We cruised on the Carnival Valor on June 1st. We stayed at this hotel for 2 days before and 1 day after. It is a clean and basic room. The staff were very helpful and most of the renovations appear to be done. Our main complaint was the irregularity of hot water. Taxi to the pier is around $19 and to go into Old San Juan $15. I think from the airport it was $23(includes $2 for 2 pieces of luggage). Taxi fares are calculated by zones and they can tell you the flat rate before you leave.

marmstro Posted June 16, 2014 #7 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Thanks for the great info! I'm not overly worried about hot water. Just want a clean, safe hotel with a decent bed for the pre-cruise stay. Presuming when you say $19 for a taxi that it's for the whole car and not just per person? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volacruzing Posted June 16, 2014 #8 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Taxi fares are calculated based on what zone you are traveling to and from. Also they will also add $1 per each piece of luggage they handle. The price is per trip whether you have 2 people or 4 people. Every taxi we rode in was a van so they could handle more than 2 people. Look at the post "valor out of san juan" in one of the replies someone attached a taxi fare sheet from the airport. This should help give you some ideas on fares. Have a great trip. We loved San Juan and all of the ports on our cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
