San Juan Budget Pick: El San Geronimo Hotel ποΈ
As a pre-cruise transition hotel, this one has its highlights: β Thoughtful Service β Front desk proactively helped book a taxi to the port the next day β Clean & Tidy β Maintains solid hygiene standards despite being budget-friendly β Location Perk β Amazing pizza at the corner Piola restaurant, just a 5-minute Uber to Old San Juan β Heads-Up β Midnight beeps from the electronic door lock may startle light sleepers (bring earplugs!) π City Soundscape β AC hum + street traffic = natural white noise, oddly comforting for city dwellers π§While other tour members gasped at four-digit hotel prices, this spot maximized the "sleeping pod" function at one-third the cost. Pro tip: the croissants π₯ at the cafΓ© next door are worth a special trip, but for full meals, head to the food plaza three blocks away. It's very close to Old San Juan, Condado Beach, the T-Mobile District, and many restaurants. We'll be back soon! #ElSanGeronimoHotel #SanJuan #BudgetFriendly
