It’s a nice place but their two best rooms are on the street next to a loud night club and our walls thumped until 1:00 am.

Loved the proximity to different restaurants and activities. The staff was very patient and welcoming as well. The biggest downfall was the noise from the street outside from the street. It went on for all hours into the morning. Luckily, we only stayed one night so it was manageable with a nap upon returning home.

Two hours past and nothing I ask him what happen if the electricity doesn't come back. He say yes it will they working on it with some company. But funny

We loved Forteleza Suites! So easy to walk right out the front door to shops and restaurants and all the sites of San Juan. They have a community area with coffee and cocoa and even a basket of towels and sunscreen should you need anything for the beach. The decor and building is authentic and makes you feel a part of the city. The full kitchen was nice and the beds super comfortable. The little deck was very neat and surprisingly the room was quiet even with the street out our window! Friendly and helpful staff, and everything was very safe and clean. Hopefully we’ll get the chance to go back to San Juan and if we do we will definitely stay here again!

Shower handles were loose. Water temperature would vary from freezing cold to scalding hot within minutes depending on the water supply demand (if several guests were using the water at the same time). There was a pipe running along the ceiling that dripped condensation on us. There was a lounge area right outside our room, and were either kept awake late or woken early by other guests talking. We were instructed that the AC unit in the room was not to be any lower than 70F. The hair dryer provided in the room had a plug that was beginning to fall apart, and wires inside were beginning to be exposed. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful up until the last morning when we checked out at 5:00 AM to catch an early AM flight. At that time, front desk attendant was sleeping at the desk and completely confused when I explained I was checking out. The location of the property was very convenient. I would not recommend this property.
