thanks,

The Sheraton in Old San Juan is directly across the street from the port. You can walk, even with luggage, to your ship. :)

El Convento is a step back in time to the elegance, style and ambience of OSJ

For a treat , dine at Marmalade with the wine pairing taster menu

:D

 

Also a short walk from a huge CVS

The ships don't always sail from the downtown port. Many leave from the Pan Am pier and that is not walkable from the Sheraton OSJ.

 

We have stayed there and were not impressed. It is a zoo on weekends and took forever to get our room. Just my opinion.

True. However, she said they were on the Dream and Carnival docks across from the Sheraton. :)

I stand corrected!:)

If you look for....

 

"Carnival Dream October 4, 2015 and October 15, 2015 "Carnival Journeys"

 

on that very popular social media site that starts with an F and ends with book you will find a roll call that has over 600 members and TONS of information about the Journeys cruise you are on.

We are doing that cruise b2b on the Dream. In February we stayed at the Hotel Milano on Fortaleza Street in OSJ. It is a very quaint and very reasonable. We were able to walk to the port with our luggage. Check it out.

We have stayed at SJ Suites on Forteleeza... not sure if spelled right. It is in OSJ and you can walk to the pier. We have it booked again for Thanksgiving cruise. Love the location.

We have stayed at Casa Blanca and Cervantes before. Both are located in OSJ and are easy walking distance to the pier (Cervantes is on the street behind the Sheraton but is much smaller and quieter). I highly recommend both. Check out my reviews below for more detail on each one. Happy cruising!

I am finding a nice CLASSIC hotel in OSJ that will accept a one night stay hard to find. A co-worker of mine suggested The Gallery Inn, but they have a 2 night minimum. Others I've found also require a 2 night minimum.

 

Something about staying in an old hotel, built over 300 years ago while in a town that's as old or older seems pretty intriguing to me. I don't mind taking a taxi to the Pan America Pier if I need to get to the ship. While in town, pretty much everything is within walking distance.

 

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread to see what others say.

We are talked into joining them at CV for two/ three nights on our next trip.

 

Another hotel for consideration.

What hotels are within walking distance to Pan Am port?

It is possible to walk to the pier from all hotels, but some hotels are nearer than others. ;)

Best to stay at a decent hotel and take a taxi if one considers the walk too far.

The Pan Am pier is not in Old San Juan. So it would be quite a walk from OSJ to the Pan Am pier. There are a couple of hotels and more being built near there. But I don't think it would be a good idea to walk to the pier. I believe there a fence along the entrance into the pier so you have to find the entrance first. Why don't you stay in nice hotel in Old San Juan and take a taxi to the Pan Am pier, since you mostly likely would be taking a taxi from one of the hotels closer to the Pan Am pier. Old San Juan is much nicer and has more restaurants.

We stayed at Plaza De Armas Hotel in Old SJ last year. It's good enough for 1 night.
