It was a false advertisement when I rented this property it shows a window on the room a selected
When I got there there was no window in the room
Just for the lobby
the room was super claustrophobic I couldn’t sleep also the room was next to the front desk so we could hear the door open and closing people talking the wheel of the luggage the people making coffee it was just a disaster. I couldn’t sleep at all very unhappy for what I got and they were selling me completely different. Very disappointed. I didn’t complain because there was no place to go. Everything was book everywhere I called so no choice
Wish they tell you in the advertising , the real true about the room
Wonderful staff. Excellent location to port, restaurants and shops. Clean rooms and kind staff. Wonderful lobby/kitchen area with water and coffee at your disposal. Highly recommend for everyone.
The area is walkable and food and drink are easily accessible.

Terrible and unsafe! Expedia should be admonished for ever recommending this property! The front door handle to the property was secured with duct tape. Greeted by a teenager in a hallway surrounded by bullet proof glass and given an email code for entrance. Then given a code for the room via a lock box.
The room was a cell with no windows secured by a single lock. Dirty bed clothes with no in room safe. We checked in and immediately checked out. Dirty and unsecured!
The room smelled. Staff seemed like it was a bother when checking in. Plus it not reasonably priced

This was a convenient location for exploring Old San Juan and walkable to the cruise port. Staff was friendly and each room was unique. The facilities were somewhat dated but well maintained and clean. Note: some rooms are on the second floor and there is not an elevator.
Very loud in the early morning if you stay by the front desk

I only stayed for a night, but I really loved my little room and the atmosphere there. Speaking with the young woman at check was so nice. Good conversation from the beginning. The room was so cozy and beautiful. And I slept so well. I will definitely come back! And I am thankful for the short stay.
Thank you Fortaleza Suites for helping us get settled when we arrived and taking time to answer our many questions. We enjoyed Old San Juan thanks to you and your staff. Keep up the great work!

Strategically located in the center of Old San Juan. Parking requires use of nearby parking lots but everyone does. Spacious suites that is well equipped for long term stays. Highly recommended!
Quaint and easily accessible boutique hotel with a great staff and very clean accommodations.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The location is good for exploring Old San Juan on foot; otherwise, the place is mediocre to poor (but clean). The young lady receptionist was unwelcoming and unhelpful. She conveyed an "I do not want to be bothered attitude". It seemed that the staff was suppose to communicate by email and text (which they did) rather than speak directly with guests; very impersonal. There was not a chair in the room. The only place to sit was on a small bench. There were no cups or glasses in the room for getting a drink of water.The room did not have a window. Our room was located on the first floor on the main hall near the lobby. This location, with a ceramic tile floor in the hall, was noisy when people were coming and going (awakened early in the morning). There are much better places to stay in Old San Juan. We stayed at a better place, which was less expensive, for part of our visit to Old San Juan. I cannot recommend the Fortaleza Suites!
They were wonderful working with us as we arrived almost 2 hours after we stayed due to airplane delays! Great when they met us to check and would recommend 100%

Someone took wallets from our baggage while in the storage room. We left them for a couple hours, otherwise the bags were with us.

Basic nights stay. Had to wait in the street to be let in the front door after “ringing the buzzer”. Three staff members were there but none let us in. Had to call on phone for a fourth person to act. Cannot control thermostat in room. Water temp control almost impossible in shower.
