“La Capitana offers a compelling stay in Old San Juan, especially for those prioritizing location and spaciousness over modern luxury. I found the apartments, though somewhat timeworn, an excellent value given their proximity to key historical sites and practical amenities like full kitchens. The 24/7 human service is a standout feature, ensuring assistance is always readily available, which, in my view, enhances the overall experience despite some potential check-in challenges.”
