Very good

My room's only window was to the hallway which felt unsafe for a female solo traveler and the lamp didn't work and was CAKED in grime and there wasn't any toilet paper in the bathroom. Wouldn't stay again.

The hotel was fine. We only stayed one night, as an airport stay, after we landed, but we will stay there again on our way flying out of Costa Rica. Convenient, clean, good price, nice people, no problems.
I stayed there for one night. Firstly the room has only a fan that barely works so the room is like a sauna. Also the sheets and pillow cases were all stained with blood and yellow stains which I found disgusting. Also don't rely on the breakfast, it's obviously a way to just chargre more without quality food. For the money we paid we could definitely find a better place.

Liked: Staff & service
It was just a very simple place with not a lot of extras. We had no hand towel for the sink but there was a wash cloth hanging--wasnt sure if it was clean or not....but did have a few towels for the shower. The staff was amazing and communicated well prior to our arrival and were waiting for us when we arrived after midnight after our plane was delayed 3 hours. They were very helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was included and simple but delicous.
it was very clean and everything you needed. It was in the room awesome.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Property is not as described nor located where indicated. Too dangerous and not local to the airport
Tiffany on the desk was brilliant, so helpful and her English was amazing, as was the young man who was there as well. Tiffany sorted a taxi for us and was so helpful. The room was clean and comfortable.
Great spot to stay when either arriving to San Jose or getting ready to leave the country. Some one at the desk 24/7. Will definitely stay again when traveling to Costa Rica!
