Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
We stayed for one night in 3 rooms. We encountered a strong chlorine odor in two of the rooms, and also found hair all over a supposedly clean bed.
Additionally, parking is limited to apparently only 2 cars(we were able to fit 2 cars without bothering the spot that already had been taken), and the specific spot we had requested for accessibility reasons during the reservation process was not available upon arrival. Or I'm not sure if the one that was assigned to us was the accessible spot or not.
While not necessarily anyone’s fault, we were woken very early, around 5 a.m. or earlier, by two men speaking loudly outside both rooms on the same floor. A designated quiet time, at least until 6 a.m., would be appreciated.
Thanks to the office receptionist for the excellent welcome and for clearly explaining the rules and answering all my questions.
Thanks to the breakfast waitress who gave us excellent service in the morning.
The family was friendly and accommodating. Homemade breakfasts were tasty and nicely done. The view from the upper terrace was beautiful.
The parking was tricky-- four small car spots inside the gate connected to a short, steep apron, emptying to a busy road
Was easy to get to everything. The market, almost next door, had a great selection of fruits and veggies.
Not clean. I stayed there 6 nights and they did not once come and clean room or change towels. In addition a review of my credit card showed i was billed for the total week, which was correct and also billed separately for 1 night during the week and an another night the day after i left

Important to not expect something from 3 stars hotel, then you will be not disappointed. I chooses this place because good price and close to dentists clinic, between these buildings is local market. It was convenient for me. Thanks
It was a good place to stay. Everything was satisfactory. Breakfast was great. Everything was clean. It had the sweet Costa Rica charm we all love. The view was amazing of San Jose. The only complaint was that the TV didn’t really work the best, but only the kids had a problem with that. Traffic around there is a bit rough, but not impossible, and you could walk to restaurants and any shopping you may be interested in if you wanted to. Overall, we are pretty satisfied.
The view was great bu besides that you car ear every single noise surround you the pillows were terrible , the hair dryer wasn’t working and many other things. It’s unbelievable been on such a good area they don’t keep it to the expectations specially for the rate they charge you
