Very clean hotel/room. Free breakfast that consisted of: gallo pinto (yummy), fried banana (sooo good), scambled/boiled eggs, sausages, fruit, cereal, bread, yogurt etc. It was all very yummy. Everyone was very hospitable! Would return.

This Hotel has a parking área close by. In front of this hôtel, they have an excellent Argentine restaurant. It lack an elevator so if you have leg issues ask in advance for a first floor room. The personnel is excellent and helpful.

Places is beautiful and in a great location to be down town. Area around the hotel isn’t safe after dark but hotel does a great job to keep inside safe.

This hotel is conveniently located in downtown San Jose. Parking was easy enough in a secure lot around the corner. Breakfast was a highlight, with an array of fresh fruits, gallo pinto, and scrambled eggs. Our room (35) had an exceedingly small bathroom and had windows facing the street, though noise was not bad. Our television did not work, but the bed was comfortable enough.

One thing marred it
Our room’s bathroom’s ceiling had black mold. Other than that, it was good.
Reception and staff were excellent and friendly. Restaurant was very good as well.

Nice staff. Good breakfast included. In-house dining and a convenient restaurants with locally superior menus made this an easy choice for foodies who like to eat well.

The bed and the shower were very good. The breakfast was varied and the staff helpful. The pool was disappointing, it really is only for kids to play in. The location is good and the price is right!

Friendly staff and nice location close to the National Museum. Hotel is nice and clean and has great breakfast. But, I wouldn’t ask staff for any travel tips (we almost got stranded based on their suggestions)

Good but needs improvement
The check in person was a bit inexperienced but courtous. The place is clean but all the furniture in the common areas are very dirty.
And please put a reading chair in the room. Our bathroom was new and beautiful. The breakfast was delicious.

I would go back. But always want the facts upfront
The positives: the breakfast was DELICIOUS! Friendly staff and clean environment.
The rooms we were in did not have AC, although that was advertised.
Be aware, it is an old hotel so only stairs (consider for luggage carrying purposes). Our first room would not lock due to a key being broken off into the lock but they were quick and accommodating and got us in another room.

Door was flimsy. Pool was advertised ridiculously with wide angle lens photo. It’s more of a plunge/dip to cool off in than a pool to swim.
Tv was impossible to figure out or turn on.
