Location
Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were very spacious and clean, the breakfast was good, and the location was convenient. However, the room wasn't ready on time as advertised, and the noise from the bar below was disturbing after a long flight.
The hotel had large, comfortable rooms with a great view, excellent A/C, and regular cleaning. However, the rooms facing the highway were noisy due to cheap windows, affecting sleep quality. Service was accommodating, especially with friendly staff like Monica and Allison. The location was convenient for shuttle transfers but not ideal for city sightseeing. Dining offered various hot food choices but lacked vegetables. Overall, a good option for a comfortable stay with some noise concerns.
Staying at this hotel was a great choice for our group of 5 adults for one night. The rooms on the 2nd floor were spacious and had nice views, making it comfortable for us, especially when traveling with children. The included breakfast was a bonus, and it was pretty good, too.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with good lighting, perfect for a short stay in the capital city. While a bit dated, the rooms are well-appointed with air conditioning. The service was fantastic, with very helpful staff. The location is outstanding, ideal for shuttle transfers to-and-from Nicaragua. The dining experience, although decent, could use more variety. The facilities are well-maintained and offer everything needed for a comfortable stay.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms, a very friendly staff, and a fantastic location for an authentic Costa Rica experience. However, the poor room views and dated hallways are slight drawbacks.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel - the location was perfect for exploring San Jose and the surroundings, with beautiful tropical gardens and a large swimming pool to relax by. However, there were some issues with room upgrades and timing, which affected my overall stay.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The amazing view of San Jose and the park from my room was fantastic, but the noise from the football stadium was quite disruptive. The service was warm and helpful, especially the reception staff, yet the dining room arrangements were not ideal, with all clients seated in one area. The location was convenient for accessing San Jose, but the surroundings were not very appealing.
The hotel offers a convenient location perfect for waiting for an afternoon flight or exploring downtown San Jose. The rooms, although slightly outdated, were suitable for a one-night stay. Service was exceptional, with welcoming and helpful staff. The dining options were good but could use more variety. Overall, a reasonable choice when considering value for money.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms were spacious and clean, providing everything needed for a comfortable stay, but unfortunately, they faced the highway, making it incredibly loud and disruptive. Additionally, the strong smell of tobacco in the room was off-putting and not worth the price paid.
The hotel offers soft but nice and spacious rooms with great views. The service, although accommodating once they corrected a reservation issue, was not the most amiable. The location is on a heavily traveled road, making it challenging to access during rush hour. The dining experience had many selections and a made-to-order omelette chef. The facilities were satisfactory.
