Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My recent stay at City Express by Marriott in San Jose, Costa Rica, unfortunately, fell short of expectations. From the moment I arrived, issues arose. The lift was out of order, forcing guests to navigate stairs with luggage. Additionally, the key card provided didn't work initially, causing unnecessary inconvenience. Further disappointments awaited inside the hotel. The vending machine, a convenient option for a quick snack or drink, was also out of order, limiting options for guests. To add to the frustration, during checkout, an unexpected extra charge of $20 was levied without prior notice or explanation. This lack of transparency left a sour taste in what was meant to be a pleasant stay. While the hotel's location and amenities may hold promise, these operational and service shortcomings significantly detracted from the overall experience. Hopefully, these issues can be addressed promptly to ensure a more satisfactory stay for future guests.

I was terrified of someone breaking into my room for reason and couldn’t sleep. I placed all my luggage by the door. In the middle of the night around 1 am someone opens the door suddenly. I called the front desk to report someone breaking in and they say it was the security. Is that even legal? I have never ever heard of a security guard walking into someone’s hotel room while sleeping. I couldn’t sleep rest if evening and my blood pressure was high. I felt very unsafe here

My stay was average. The ice machine was broken but it’s a clean environment. I was happy that there was an English speaker at the front desk. I didn’t get her name but she helped me book an amazing tour to La Paz Waterfall.
