The room was amazing and the price point was definitely more than reasonable for the space we had! Clean, heavenly comfortable, and the staff are so nice! Excellent location for walking around too.

I had high hopes for this hotel but left pretty disappointed. Let me start with the good. The staff was great! Everyone we interacted with were friendly and did their best to help during our stay. The beach towels and sunblock were a nice touch. The building itself is charming and has a lot of character. Now the cons. The presidential suite is so loud. Any noise from the street just radiates through the room. We didn't get any sleep. We were able to move to a different room due to the noise (which we were grateful), but ran into other issues. Very little warm water despite the room having two bathrooms and enough space to accommodate 6. We only had 4 people in our group and could not all shower in the same 2 hour window. The outlets in the downstairs bedroom kept going out (not able to charge a phone next to the bed and access the alarm or use blow dryers, etc). The mini split makes a loud obnoxious noise every 2 hours or so (maybe the pump). No way to get any sleep. The "complimentary coffee" between 6-10a included a mini travel size coffee maker to be shared by the entire building and was always empty. The general cleanliness of the floors and baseboards of the rooms could be better. Dishes in the cabinets were dirty. I really wanted to love this place. I've stayed in older hotels and expected flaws but not sleeping and showering comfortably impacted our whole vacation.

VISIBLE BED BUGS - WE WILL SEND PHOTOS.
Online photos are deceptive of the state of the room.
BEDS HAVE BED BUG EGGS!!!!!!!
DEMANDING REFUND. WE HAD TO LEAVE!!!!!!
SCRAMBLING TO FIND NEW PLACE TO STAY.
There are zero windows in this entire facility, it is so musky from wetness and mild you smell it as soon as you walk in. Our room had actual mold all over our ceiling, we stayed out of the hotel as long as possible, other than to go to sleep and we paid for a two bedroom suite. Staff was kind but I definitely would not recommend.
The room was very nice! Hot water, cold AC, quiet! Staff is nice and the location can’t be beat!! There are no USB ports in the room. Other than that, I was well satisfied and would certainly stay again!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
There was no electricity and incorrect/misleading information as to when the electricity would be back on. The hotel does not have a generator, so no lights or air conditioning. When reserving, I upgraded our room, spending $300 for a night. The regular sized room was on the main floor behind the reception desk and had no windows (we only viewed it with a flashlight). Total waste of money. We ended up staying across the street at a hotel with a generator for $187. Skip Fortaleza Suites.
Location was great a few blocks from the fort. Very walkable location. Parking offsite at garage wasn’t perfect but understandable given location. Room was charming and spacious. Hot shower and good bed. Would stay here again. Ac dripped on the guest room bed was my only complaint here. The water line seemed to be clogged or something on the mini split unit. Probably should’ve mentioned to hotel staff but didn’t.
