The Comfort Inn is an unfussy, two-pearl property located in San Juan’s trendy Condado district. Although the hotel’s 50 rooms are chain-like, they’re also clean and modern, offering flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, and free Wi-Fi. On-site amenities at this no-frills hotel include a modest courtyard pool and a little dining room where free buffet breakfast is served each morning. While the hotel isn’t set right on the beach, it’s less than a 10-minute walk to gorgeous Condado Beach; plus, Avenida Ashford’s chic shops and restaurants are easily accessible by foot. It’s worth comparing amenities and rates with the neighboring Holiday Inn Express San Juan Condado.

The San Juan Airport Hotel is a 125-room lower-mid-range property that caters to travelers leaving on early morning flights or staying due to cancelled flights. The bunker-like rooms are soundproofed and finished with the basic amenities needed for a comfortable short stay. The on-site restaurant and bar efficiently manages the travel-weary by accepting airline vouchers while the continental breakfast fuels early risers. The hotel is as close as one can possible get to the airport, but its surroundings are not very scenic. Those craving the beach might prefer hotels in nearby Isla Verde, such as the similarly priced Hotel La Playa or ESJ Towers or the pricier Courtyard by Marriott.

Situated in San Juan’s Condado area, The Wave Hotel is an intimate mid-range property with a boutique vibe and fresh, modern interiors. Its 47 rooms are all contemporary and coastal inspired, with mini-fridges, coffeemakers, comfy beds, and great city views -- although layouts are on the small side. The stylish rooftop is a highlight, with panoramic city views, two whirlpools, and weekly DJ nights with cocktail specials, though it is missing a proper pool. Guests are often pleasantly surprised by The Wave’s high quality given its low rates, and they love the location -- a short walk from the beach and near loads of restaurants, shops, and cafes. Travelers after something similar with a pool, could try the San Juan Water & Beach Club Hotel.

Hyatt House San Juan is a three-pearl hotel located in the city’s Miramar district near the Puerto Rico Convention Center. Its 126 guest rooms are inviting, and many offer full kitchens and separate sitting areas. Features include an above-average breakfast buffet, delightful outdoor pool, and some light on-site dining options. An updated fitness center and laundry facilities are nice extras. Unfortunately, the hotel falls short on beach access as the nearest patch of sand, Condado Beach, is a 25-minute walk away. Travelers might want to consider the Best Western PLUS Condado Palm Inn & Suites, which offers a more central location with easy beach access.

At Wind Chimes is a former 1920s Spanish Colonial home turned inn set in a transitional neighborhood, one block from the beach. Quirky in style and in need of updating, the budget-oriented inn offers 22 rooms, a small courtyard pool, and a bar fashioned after the hull of a sailboat. While close to Old San Juan and Condado, its off-the-beaten track location and unkempt 1970s style will not appeal to everyone. Those seeking a beachfront location and beach-inspired style might consider the Tres Palmas Inn or Osteria del Mar.

Renovated in 2014, the Holiday Inn Express San Juan Condado is a 115-room budget-oriented chain hotel that caters to tourists and businesspeople, some on extended stay. While not directly on the beach, the hotel is located in San Juan's upscale Condado neighborhood, around the corner from luxury shops and restaurants and just a block from Ventana del Mar Park and the path that leads to Condado Beach. The hotel delivers amenities expected by the Holiday Inn such as free breakfast and rooms equipped with coffeemakers, Wi-Fi, and two types of pillow choices. Those looking for a smaller, boutique experience might consider Casa Condado. You'd be hard-pressed to find a beachfront hotel in Condado in this price range (La Concha is twice the price), though Hosteria Del Mar in Ocean Park often isn't much more expensive.

La Terraza is an upper-middle-range, 23-room historic boutique hotel set on a hillside in the heart of Old San Juan. Surrounded mostly by residential properties as well as a few restaurants and bars, the hotel's duo of impeccably restored 500- and 600-year-old buildings exude old-world charm through details such as high ceilings showcasing original beams, and original and replicated tiles on the floors and walls. Each bedroom is unique in layout and style, and some offer views from their balconies, but the pièce de résistance is the hotel's rooftop terrace with a small infinity-edge pool, shaded bar, and 360-degree views of the bay and the city. While the hotel is one of Old San Juan's best, it lacks a beachfront location and spa. Those seeking sand might prefer hotels in nearby Condado such as La Concha.

The Palace Hostel is a two-pearl hotel located in a residential area of San Juan about a 20-minute walk from Condado Beach. The hostel’s nine private rooms and dorms are as basic as it gets, with beds, air-conditioning, and not much else. The atmosphere is welcoming enough and the shared kitchen and terrace are nice features for budget-conscious guests. However, extra perks that one might associate with hostels, such as organized social events and free breakfasts, are noticeably absent. And worse, there isn't any hot water. Budget travelers could consider comparing rates with Posada San Francisco, which is better-maintained and offers fantastic city views from its patio.

The Dreamcatcher is an enchanting lower-middle-range hotel located in San Juan’s Ocean Park district. The guesthouse’s nine rooms and four apartments are decorated with dazzling collections of antiques and art, creating an upscale yet homey ambiance. With Buddha statues dotted around tranquil grounds, abundant hammocks, vegetarian breakfasts, and daily yoga classes, the guest house is an idyllic Bohemian retreat. Located in a gated community between two big tourist districts, the setting offers plenty of local charm without leaving guests isolated from the island’s entertainment scene. It’s worth comparing rates with the nearby Coqui del Mar Guest House, which features a similarly intimate ambiance, but is not as stylish and design-oriented.

The mid-rage Monastery Art Suites is less of a hotel and more of an art-gallery-meets-urban-bed-and-breakfast -- minus the breakfast. Its nine colorfully decorated rooms and (huge) suites are individually curated with bold pieces and loads of artistic flair. While the vibe is boutique and upmarket, the property is not perfect -- common areas get rather hot, there’s no elevator, some rooms lack windows, and on-site features are lacking. However, the unique and playful interiors are perfect for travelers craving something off-center, and the address can’t be beat. And while there’s no on-site restaurant, the Mexican restaurant next door will deliver to rooms. Travelers seeking boutique style paired with an elevator could try the Casablanca Hotel.
