Authentic Costa Rican Experience
The rooms were perfect for our family! The staff was very friendly and helpful. It was great to have the rental car put in their gated parking lot. The breakfast was great! There is a cute park across the street and many stores and restaurants in the area. It was nice to not be in a touristy area. There were some panhandlers that were a bit pestering in the park when walking, but it was great to have a authentic city experience in Costa Rica. The people in the area businesses were all very friendly.

Nice, clean hotel with great staff!
Make sure you get an ac room because none of the rooms have windows to the outside, and they are very stuffy. But the ac room is fantastic, clean, well maintained and with great hot water pressure! The staff is very friendly, and the breakfast that’s included is yummy. The shuttle to the airport takes 5-7 minutes and costs $6.

Disliked: Cleanliness
They called daily to ask if I wanted room cleaned. Once I said yes and they did a no show. Staff were pretty nice. Food in area was poor chooses. They kept things tidy and secure. Good budget hotel. They need thicker windows in room as noise was easy to come through.
