Puerto Rico , hotel near airport, one night due to late arrival. Ideas?

We arrive into Puerto Rico at 11 pm. We are meeting our family at a house they rented near El Yunque. As it is off the beaten path I don't want to try to find them in the LATE night. Do you have any ideas of a reasonable hotel/motel not too far from the airport? We will only be there to sleep.

When I asked a similar question a couple of years ago on the Culebra forum, many people suggested the Best Western at the airport as a reasonable place for an overnight. We did not end up staying there because we were going to do some sightseeing in Old Town the next day before flying out of Isla Grande to Culebra but you might want to check it out.

ishkribbl suggested the Best Western in the airport, and I would do the same. I stayed there a few years ago between a late arrival at SJU and very early flight the next morning to SXM. The rooms are TINY, but they are clean and have everything you need, including (I believe) breakfast.

I can certainly recommend some of the nicer nearby properties in Isla Verde, but since you are only looking for someplace to sleep, the Best Western is all you really need.

Besides the Best Western at the airport check out the following (all within a 7 to 10 minute taxi ride from the airport):
Embassy Suites
Hampton Inn & Suites
Holiday Inn Express
Courtyard by Marriott
Howard Johnson's

Whether or not these meet your needs depends on your definition of "reasonable".
