Sixteenth, level on 31 with Aloft and behind it on guest parking, $20 a day to $18. The Sheraton has a rooftop infinity pool over San Juan Bay, The Bay Rooftop Bar and a 24/7 casino, and Marriott promises "seamless proximity to major cruise terminals".
A complimentary shuttle runs to Old San Juan and Escambrón Beach, "just one mile away".

No parking at the piers“There is no parking within San Juan Cruise Port,” per the port, which points drivers to the public Covadonga lot across from the Old San Juan piers; Royal Caribbean says the same for Pan American Pier 2, while Celebrity’s page says its terminal has a lot. The cheapest daily figure we found is the Isla Grande airport’s long-term lot, $8.56 a day on a local parking guide, not the operator, and a taxi from the Pan American side. None of the garages publishes a week-long cruise rate.

Sheraton Puerto Rico FAQ
Does Sheraton Puerto Rico have a cruise shuttle?
