Hampton Inn

Despite their advertisements, there is not a shuttle.
Its a Hampton Inn, so the breakfast is the same and certainly not a benefit for us.
Relatively clean and orderly.
The free drinks and food was not even worth the glance I gave it.
Location is good and close to Isle Verde beaches.
I wouldn’t let my wife walk out around this area alone.

Very clean and friendly hotel. Happy hour features nice snacks and bar with more than just beer and wine. Mixed drinks available and even some frozen drinks. Room was very clean and comfortable bed. Shower pressure could be better and the resort fee of 21.60 is a joke considering the hotel is NOT on a beach, it’s two blocks away.

Shout out to the back bar for an awesome, perfectly cooked burger! The sounds of the jets taking off is pretty freakin rad, as well!

Great stay for my family. Clean and comfy rooms. Great staff great breakfast. 4 minutes from the beach Hampton provides beach chairs or you can pay $ 4.00 per chair @ the beach. Plenty of eateries in the area.
My only con… our room was under their laundry room and we could hear washers and dryers going all day and night :(

If you would like to be located near the airport, this Hampton Inn is the place to stay. It’s only about a mile away from SJU. Best of all, the rooms are clean, the pool amenities even including a swim up bar are nice, the complimentary breakfast is good, unlike the usual Hampton, in that the serve up fresh mangos and papayas along with some other rather local goodies.
Though they didn’t have an airport shuttle, they always had taxis available and it also serves as a pickup point for tour operators.

My husband and I stayed here for three nights in February. We were attending a wedding at the El San Juan hotel across the street and felt that that prices here fit our budget better.
The hotel was clean and nicely appointed and the staff was helpful. The location of the hotel is acceptable. (Although I wish they’d implode the cock fighting place next door. But I guess that’s another conversation.)
They offer a basic complimentary breakfast each morning which is awesome, but as with anything free, get there early otherwise it’s mayhem at the waffle making machine!
Good stay and would recommend if you’re on a budget. Location is decent, not super awesome, but not terrible.

2÷5÷16: Overall 4.5 stars. Ahhhhh, we get to rest our heads before we head off to Tortola in the morning!
1 mile from the SJU airport (no shuttle service, but my co. provided transport).
These are the kind of hotels I like– PRACTICAL!!!
Part of the Hilton Brand, you get HH points (Princess Money Tip: sign up for Hilton Honors!) and if you’re Gold or higher, you get freebies. I got my choice of 2 items. I picked bottles of water even though you get 2 free water bottles in your room.
If you forget anything, they give them to you. I got toothbrushes/​toothpaste and razors. Not cuz I forgot, but because I travel alot. And why would Princess Money pay for these travel items if they willingly give it to me for free?
Clean rooms. Neutrogena amenities (meh) but where they hit the jackpot with me are their beds. Holy Shiz, one of the most comfy hotel beds I’ve stayed at, even compared to 5 star resorts.
This tired travel gal needed to rest and I slept ALL THRU THE NITE! Oh wait. I take that back. I had a hot flash and woke up sweating… but fell back asleep lol.
Next morning, they had free breakfast buffet and I’m talking good stuff! Green teas, fruits (that had MANGOS & PAPAYAS, 2 of my fave fruits), breads, waffles, eggs, sausage, etc. Not your typical hotel continental breakfast.
I docked off half a star cuz of no shuttle service. I think all Hilton Hotels should have shuttle service (even though I didn’t need it in this case). So their 4.5 gets rounded up to 5 stars mainly because of the food and super comfy bed!
Oh apparently, it’s super close to the beach. But since this was just a quick overnite layover, we did zero exploring.
PMT: with AMEX Surpass credit card (no annual fee first year), you get gold status, which includes free breakfast (valuable at Hiltons without the free breakfast buffet). With the Hilton Visa, you get Silver status (no annual fee, so worth keeping).

The location of the hotel is very close to the airport. I mean, it’s basically across the street. When you’re out by the pool you occasionally hear the deafening sounds of planes taking off, but to be honest I thought it was pretty cool. I couldn’t hear anything in my room so the rooms themselves must be well-​insulated for sound. It’s also really close to the beaches of Isla Verde, one of the most popular beach resort areas in San Juan (which I’m told has fairly calm water compared to the rougher beaches in the Condado area, where I stayed 3 years ago).
I was quite impressed with the hotel considering it isn’t one of the fancier resorts in town. Our rooms were incredibly spacious and well furnished. In particular, I loved the abundance of outlets! In lamps, alarm clocks and more, there were additional outlets for plugs as well as USB adapters to charge your electronics with ease. It may seem like a silly thing to get so excited about, but honestly, it was really useful!
One of the fun perks of the Hampton Inn & Suites San Juan is their poolside Happy Hour Monday through Saturday from 5 pm to 7 pm. Although minimal, there are some free snacks and alcoholic beverages available during this time. When we were there, snacks consisted of pretzels and tortilla chips with cheese sauce. There were several drink options. I tried a piña colada, and later a mango dacquiri. Both were fine but nothing too special. But hey, it’s free!
We spent a bit of time at the pool after our arrival (how can you not after escaping winter weather), and then decided to eat at the pool bar, which is actually really well rated. Guacamayo Pool Bar & Grill is well known for their burgers, but honestly everything my travel party tried was delicious.
As with other Hampton Inns, free breakfast is included in your stay. I’m not talking a boring continental breakfast, but a hot breakfast with make-​your-​own-​waffles, and many other delicious options.
An array of cereals, fruits, and yogurts comprised some of the cold breakfast items, while a selection of breakfast pastries, bread, English muffins, and bagels (with nearby toasters) supplied a nice carb fix. French toast sticks, scrambled eggs with ham and cheese, and make-​your-​own-​waffles were our hot food options. I tended to sway in this direction.
Overall, I was very pleased with my stay at Hampton Inn & Suites San Juan. Between it’s convenient location, cleanliness, good prices and service, I’d definitely stay here again in the future.

Conveniently located 5 minutes taxi ride from the airport. The rooms and grounds are clean and updated. They have complimentary breakfast in the morning and refreshments and snacks poolside in the evenings. Centrally located in Isla Verde. 5 minutes walk to the beach and 11 minutes taxi ride to Old San Juan. I’ll be back soon!

Great location, good food options, and nice perks. The complimentary drink and snacks made this place worth going. There was a hick-​up with my check in because I never recieved my free gift for being Diamond member and checking in. My room was cleaned but old, however I didn’t have any issues with the outside noise. My biggest complaint is that the exhaust vent in my room was very loud. Which doesn’t really happen overnight so you wonder how well the maintenace crew are. Overall, for the postive things, I would say this place is a keeper.

Great hotel. Friendly staff and provides your typical, complimentary, Hampton Inn Breakfast. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the area surrounding the hotel seems to cater to tourists and nightlife. The gym is small and the pool closes early. However, there is a beach nearby.
Great representation of the Hampton Inn chain and the Hilton Brand.

We stayed here for just one night to be near the airport after several days staying in a resort in Fajardo. Pretty inexpensive for a hotel in a good location like this one is.
Rooms are clean and smell nice. The shower was great. Pretty good sized pool and clean pool area as well. The pool is connected to a tiki bar where you swim up to the bar and Can be served drinks of your choice.
They are under renovation at the moment (Sept 2014), but it doesn’t cause any real inconvenience except having to park in the rear of the hotel, by the pool, to get in.
Yes, the hotel is literally a stone’s throw from the airport, so you hear lots of planes coming and going. But that’s only annoying if you stay in the hotel or in your room all day… but why would anyone do that when you’re in San Juan and SO close to the beach? Besides, the noise from planes taking off and landing ends by 8pm, so it doesn’t affect your ability to have a great night’s sleep.
This place is just about a 10 min cab ride to the center of Old San Juan too!
All in all a great hotel for a fab price per night in a good location. It’s by no means a Waldorf, but they don’t try to be either.
Stayed September 2014, traveled with family

We are sitting by the pool and had to say something. This place is amazing! One long block from the beach, swim up bar at the pool, nicest people work here, clean rooms, free breakfast and free drinks at happy hour! Who wouldnt love it here?

My stay here so far has been awesome. It’s nothing compared to the resort that I had checked out fro. Since my flight was cancelled.
However the staff here is very friendly and they have a nice pool/​hot tub.
Serve free breakfast from 6am-​10am. And free drinks and snacks from 5pm-​7pm.
Clean rooms that come w a mini fridge and travel necessities if u happen to forget them.
They provide beach chairs and towels that u can bring to the Isla verde beach which is literally 5mins walk away from the ice cream shop across the street.

Great staff, friendly environment and clean rooms. I stay at Hampton inns pretty much wherever I go.
These guys are great!

Crusing here we go. Stayed here a night before our cruise. We have a good time the room was clean and the free cocktail hour wasn’t too bad either the drinks were not great but they were free. Check in was a breeze. Short walk to the beach, Yes it did seem like a sketchy street but it was fine. Once you got there the beach was great.
Only negative thing about this hotel is the bathroom wasn’t 100% clean.

Very nice hotel in a convenient location. We stayed there over the past week.
They have happy hour with snacks almost every night, coffee/​tea/​cold water available all day and some kind of treat in the evening. The coffee was the best coffee we had even had in a hotel. The bfast was your usual –eggs, omelets, toast, bagels, waffle station. Always fresh.
The rooms were clean and the beds were very comfy. I could see where the sound from the planes could be a pain if you stayed at the hotel all day. We never heard them at night.
Everyone was very nice.
It was easy to get to Old San Juan, the rainforest and bio-​bay in Fajardo and the caves in Camuy if you had a rental car.
There were some good restaurants across the street, a Walgreens if you needed anything and the casino at the El San Juan.
The only problem I saw was the amount of kids at the pool over the weekend. You really couldn’t relax because there were so many of them and there were no parents in sight. They made a big mess, took over all the chairs and were very loud (even for an outside voice — i have kids) They were gone by Monday though. This was not the problem of the hotel, just an observation.

So far., its been great… clean rooms, ambience reminds me of an embassy suites… however…I really wanted to share the magnificent experience I had at the bar by the pool… OMGOODNESS…

I had the most amazing yet insane day concerning my departure from San Juan. Checked in, boarded plane and had to return to the gate twice. SO, Delta decided we needed another night in the city. Worked out great and the room was amazing. The hotel was clean, trendy and full of special things like custom pastry’s to impress even the most frustrated traveler. Right across the street from some GREAT restaurants. It’s a winner in my book!
Delta did it!

This was a 5 star Hampton Inn experience. I see bad reviews… but my family as well as everyone around us was just raving at the experience here.
Where to start? Room was so clean, and a decent size. Amenities and the lobby was clean, and always nice and cold! Staff was always great, attentive, kind, availible for advice, etc.
The pool was clean, and the bar was a nice touch! You could be in the pool and swim up to the bar and order a drink/​food, while still sitting in the water!
We wanted to go here because we did not plan on spending a lot of time at the hotel. Resort life is not for us. We planned on going on many adventures. This place worked so well with our schedule. Every morning we were given a very nice breakfast spread. This was so helpful for us, and really allowed us to make the most of our days. Breakfast is served from 6 to 10, which is a longer service then most place I have been to! If you did not want to eat in for lunch, they had ‘bagged lunches on the go’ availible for you to take for free. Such a nice idea.
If you forgot things like a razor or a toothbrush, you could just tell the frontdesk and they would give you one for free.
Everyday from 5 to 7… it is happy hour… the happiest of hours… FREE DRINKS AND SNACKS. YEP 7 days a week, free drinks and snacks. Maybe this was because September is the off season? I am not sure if they do that during their busiest months… but whatever… they did it now… and it was sooo nice. AND one day I even saw they had a guy making crepes for free during the happy hour… CREPES… FOR FREE… okay want to know whats even better. FREE MASSAGES… Thats right! They even had a massager there on certain days giving free 10 minutes massages.
They even had musicians doing entertainment during the Happy hours… I mean for a place that is not a resort, and is more of a just a ‘sleep and go’ kind of place, this was rather impressive. Or maybe I have low expectations?
IDK i mean it was like $ 120 a night… I thought this was an incredible deal.
