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

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.
