We had lots of ants in our studio hotel room and it just wasn’t very clean. Ants were in all over the bathroom, kitchen, coming out of outlets, on the table and sometimes on the bed. On top of that our curtains weren’t the same size and bright lights kept on coming through which didn’t make for a very dark sleeping room when we closed the curtains. Kitchen utensils in the studio were clearly dirty before we used them. Our hotel key kept on locking us out. Most of our transportation kept going through the holiday Inn so never directly to Irazú.. even though it was just next door and tell us pick up would be at Irazu.. it would change to Holiday Inn
