Accidentally booked my flight too early and needed somewhere to stay. They picked me up from the airport (you have to message them) and dropped me off at the place. It’s not a boujie hotel but it’s perfect for a nights rest. The room was clean and there was AC. The mall, Walmart, and some food places are close by.

Great little location, 5 minutes from the airport. Room was spotless and had all the basic accommodations. All communications are done via WhatsApp and it all worked well for me. The location is walking distance (8-10 minute walk) to the City Mall. Area feels relatively safe. They offer shuttle service to the airport, but Uber is available and not expensive in my opinion (4000 colones plus I gave 1000 tip). Can't beat the price for the advantages of the location. Will use again for my early flights out of CR (I had to be at the airport at 3:00AM - this place made it super easy to plan for that for less than half of other hotels in the area).
