Find a cheap Hotel in Old San Juan

"I hate leaving a bad review but The Alma was probably one of the most disappointing stays I've booked in recent memory. They let us check in early and gave us a room with no windows. Unfortunately, it became quite evident that everything in the hotel is style over substance in an attempt to convince you that you aren't staying at a 2-star hotel. I checked my credit card statement and saw I was charged $190. I called the hotel to ask about this, but the automated system said there was no one to take my call and did not allow me to leave a message. Upon some digging, it appears the charge was for a “resort fee.” The front desk attendant took my card when we checked in. He said it was for incidentals and did not mention anything about a resort fee, nor did they give me a receipt explaining any charges at checkout. I feel like charging a resort fee for a room that has no windows and is in fact not part of a resort, is crazy. The beds and linens are above average, but that's the nicest thing I can say about the property."

"All food was fresh and delicious...."

"Everything was wonderful. The beach is really very nice. We traveled up and down the north side of PR and what we had at the resort was competitive. "

"Our bed had ants crawling on it. When reported, they apologized. No attempt to compensate us."

"Would not recommend this property or hotel. It’s a two star hotel at best. Housekeeping was a nightmare. Linens and sheets were bad quality. Doors slamming day and night as there are no closers on them. Thin walls and vents so you can hear your neighbors talking or doing other things. Food was all right. Pool is small and only has five seats. Area was not great as it was all cruise ship passengers and you need to walk up into old San Juan. Would not recommend this hotel if you want a relaxing, enjoyable stay. If you want a up at dawn, chaotic, and poor quality experience at a 4-star hotel price this is the place for you. "

"Nice place, one minor complaint . The property should not allow children & teenagers under 18 in the swim-up bar pool area."
