From the moment we got there the gentleman that helped us was so sweet! He made sure that we had everything we needed and gave us some recommendations.
I like this place is very accessible and safe, staff is friendly. In the master suite there is no place to put soap except on the floor, need to add something.
Very clean and excellent customer service. The breakfast area was amazing. It’s a very short bus ride from downtown San José. I will definitely stay at this property again.

The service was excellent and the location of the hotel was very convenient.
This property is a great value and high quality. It is located conveniently between the airport and the city center. A great place to stay if you have a day or too to spend in San Jose before going on to other location in Costa Rica. It's about 20-30 minutes from the airport and has shuttle service for $15/person. It is a short taxi ride to the city center. Excellent food and customer service.
