Reviews and Ratings
I had a one-night stay booked at this hotel mainly for its location near the bus station, which was very convenient. The room, though small and kind of dirty, served its purpose. It was dark and claustrophobic, facing an unpleasant gray internal wall, but at least it had towels. However, the lack of a proper window was disappointing.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and negative experiences. The hotel is conveniently located near bus terminals, making it easy to commute, but the area around the hotel can be a bit shady at night. The rooms were decent but had issues with the door lock and lacked adequate light and air circulation. The service was great with super nice and accommodating staff, although the dining experience, while offering traditional Costa Rican breakfast, fell short in terms of portion sizes and options. Overall, the hotel offers value for money for its services and facilities.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, though basic, turned out to be clean and comfortable, which was a pleasant surprise. The service provided was exceptional, especially with accommodating our vegetarian requests and offering secure parking in their top-notch garage. The location, while not the safest, was convenient for exploring the downtown area. The dining options were a bit lacking in variety, but the facilities met expectations.
My stay was overall pleasant with clean, quite big rooms, nice staff, good breakfast, and hot water. However, the hotel looks slightly different than in the pictures.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room was big and clean, but I encountered an issue with the door lock. On the bright side, I enjoyed the helpful service and the special meal prepared for us as vegetarians. The location was convenient for my needs, although it felt unsafe at times. Overall, a mixed experience but with some positives to highlight.
