I stay there about 10 times a year. The property is in my opinion, the best in the San Pedro area. No worries about someone there stealing credit card identity as happened at a nearby hotel. I do wonder about employee turnover there.

Hotel staff were courteous, helpful, and professional...room was well-equipped, well-prepared, and fairly quiet...hot water in the shower was super..breakfast was good, but the packets of butter should have been refrigerated or iced, as the ones I used were rancid and odorous...my only strong criticism was the state of the carpet in the room -- it was filthy and it blackened the bottoms of our feet...dirty footprints were visible on the tile in the hallway and bathroom...I suggest a deep steam cleaning or total replacement of the carpet
This hotel seemed to be mostly well kept. They did not have AC which was a bit of a downside. The staff at the desk does not often speak English, although the manager/owner does, so be prepared to use your Spanish! Getting Uber is convenient and easy to do from the hotel. I had a shuttle that left to my next destination at 2:00pm on check out day, but the hotel did not allow for late checkouts. They were willing to keep my luggage though while I waited. They allowed me to wait at the property. The maids are extremely friendly. There is no restaurant in the hotel and the nearest restaurant is Taco Bell, less than a block away. I kept missing out on breakfast because their breakfast ends pretty early in the morning. I swore the sign in sheet said it went until 9:30am, but by 9am breakfast was already cleaned up. They have a really good coffee/cappuccino machine if you want coffee and it is $1 per cup.

La ubicación me fue muy conveniente. La limpieza y comodidad muy buenos. Es amplio y comodo. No tiene aire acondicionado (pero no hizo falta), el agua caliente no era estable y no vi manera de controlarla. Lo más relevante es un tren que pasa det ras del hotel. Empieza a pasar como a las 6am y termina de pasar a las 10pm. El desayuno es algo tradicional del país. En general esta bien.

Staff was excellent and very accommodating and having parking in the garage was a bonus.
The free breakfast was outstanding, I actually stayed there two days and Costa Rica
La hospitalidad, los servicios , la alimentación fue extraordinaria, el sistema de despertador en la mañana muy eficaz y novedoso....excelente.
Agradecido a todos
The ataff at this older building made the visit very comfortable. Its an older, clean, well maintained hotel. It’s great to have free laundry facilities. The breakfast was variable. If you like eggs, request them.
Hotel transfers are arranged not included.
My taxi to the airport was not comfortable.
Again a friendly outstanding staff
Muchas Gracias
