A physical worn out hotel ”

We chose this hotel because of its proximity to the airport, the price was right and reviews said it was good. The beds were not comfortable and with the extra bed in our room it was too crowded. The staff were excellent as was the food they prepared. The free call home is an excellent and welcome feature, as is the free shuttle to the airport. It is difficult to walk on the street, especially at night.

Great little pit stop”

I am a young girl travelling by myself so I was a little bit nervous when arriving in San Jose. Despite me having to get a taxi to the hotel rather than their shuttle as they only do drop off and not pick ups! I was greeted by very friendly staff who were keen to help out and answer any questions in English and Spanish. My room was not huge but comfortable. Cleanliness was my main priority and my bedroom and bathroom was definitely clean. As I was only staying for one night it was perfect and had everything I needed (even air con) which was very welcoming after hitting the intense heat. The breakfast in the morning was lovely and reasonable priced at $6. I would stay here again as it was very convienetly located and stress free.

Great location but small rooms”

our room had 1 full bed, and 1 twin bed, so as it was very small and since we had to get our luggage ready for the flight, the twin bed served as our staging area for suitcases. the bath was tiny but smelled and looked very clean. we sat out back by the pool and read, and also out front in the rocking chairs on the porch. there is also a sitting area in the office area thatwe sat in to read. the road is being worked on out front, so at times traffic would back up, and right now there isn't much walking area. there is a coffee shop next door that had some of the best coffee we had in costa rica......since it's all good, that is staying something. it is called don mayo. it was great to be so close to the airport, because there was a traffic jam out front when it was time for us to leave, and the driver got us there in plenty time using a back road. the breakfast was delicious, and everyone was very nice and friendly.

One Night Stay in San Jose”

It was great! The staff was very helpful (we don't speak Spanish, and they were very accommodating to our needs and figured out what we were asking for), and they were so pleasant! We only stayed one night, but our room was well maintained and right on the side of the beautiful courtyard! It was conveniently located near the airport- it did get a little loud with the planes, but nothing too serious. Overall, great stay

Very nice”

We only stayed for a night as our flight got in really late from SJO airport. The hotel owner stayed up until 2am to check us in! He was incredibly nice and even gave us a ride to meet our shuttle bus the next day. Was a great place to spend the night. Very very nice staff. A bit of a language barrier but we managed fine.

Excellent”

Lovely couple running this place but beware they only speak Spanish. Found some hairs in the bed - almost looked like someone had slept there the night before and they had straightened out the sheets! Because we arrived so late however we didn't complain. Breakfast was delicious. Also no window in the room. Great spot for a one night stay if you've got a flight to catch (5 mins to the airport) plus they offer a free shuttle service to the airport.

Does the job”

i chose this hotel because i had to catch an early flight the following morning and its proximity and the free airport shuttle meant i could save sme time in the morning. the area is not particularly pleasant and in the heavy rain (without sidewalks) i opted for the slightly pricey hotel dinner, which turned out to be really tasty. the room was small, no desk or bedside table and its window opened to the corridor, the aircon could only do 16c, but it was clean and the bed was comfortable. it did the job for an overnight stay. i guess on warmer days the pool in the garden can be a nice extra.

A nice place to stay before/after flying.”

I stay here because the staff are friendly, and the driver that shuttles us to the airport is always punctual and courteous. I have stayed here several times.

Great place to stay if you have an early flight”

Close to the airport and transfer was included. The staff was exceptionally nice. Even packed snacks for the little one when we left. There is not a ton of stuff around if you don't have a car but we were literally sleeping and getting up for our 6 am flight. Will definitely stay here again next time we visit Costa Rica.

Great value close to the airport”

If you need a place to stay close to SJO, this is a great value. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. They will drop you at the airport but won't pick you up. If you don't speak Spanish it may be a little more tricky but smiles and hand gestures will get you everywhere!! Again, the staff was so lovely.

One Night Stand”

Chose this hotel through the luck of the draw, could not book my usual hotel because of short notice on my part. Rooms were small, basic, but clean, same for the bathroom. Did have a/c and hot water. Restuarant closes at 10 PM, got there at 9:20 ish, ordered a Caprese salad which was very good but a little expensive, 3900 colones. My biggest complaint was the, "you don't want a glass of water here, you want to buy a bottle because the water here is bad." It's put-offing to tell me the water you cook and clean with is bad, this ploy is used in many places in CR though. Shuttle/taxi got me to the airport for an early Sansa flight with no problems.

Nice hotel, friendly service”

We stayed here for 2 nights, 1 at beginning of our holiday and 1 at the end. Airport is close to the airport. Around 2500 colonnes with taxi. It has his on restaurant where they have excellent pizza's. Personel is very friendly. If you want to go to san jose by taxi you pay between 20 to 30 dollars, depends on your negoutiating. I would came here again.

Close to airport”

Great secure location. Just minutes to the airport. Very personal friendly staff. Breakfast and transfer to the airport included. The only issue was the automatic air-freshener in the bathroom was too strong.

Good hotel”

Nice hotel close to The airport. They got a airport pick up and The breakfast is good

Good rest in a quiet and clean place”

Hotel is close to the airport. Staff are friendly and helpful. Room is clean and comfortable.

Please stay somewhere else”

We booked through Agoda, not realizing that we had booked a single room (honestly, if there is a double bed they are really going to charge for two people?!). I understand the miscommunication, however where does the customer service come in? The staff was unwilling to accommodate us without us paying another $20 (granted it seemed like this was more of a policy rather than their decision, but again no customer care). So no problem, paid, done, let's sleep. The room we were brought to was nowhere worth. The shower had no water pressure, the water just trickled out (and calling it luke-warm is a stretch). The room also had a curtain on the wall next to the bed. Very quickly we realized it was because it was blocking a window to the hallway, with motion-activated lights. Needless to say, the light was turning on and off all night long. Lastly, in the morning there was an awful smell coming from the bathroom (both of us showered the night before and hadn't used the bathroom that morning). It was awful, and we did all we could to rush out the door. For what they demanded, this was ridiculous. I saw another review where someone else complained about price changes and the hotel took the stance that this was a voucher they couldn't honor. Personally I still think this is ridiculous with no understanding or accommodating us despite the miscommunication in the booking, and to place us in such an awful room on top of that. Customer service goes a long way, and for $20 they made it clear how important it is to them. Do not stay here, there are plenty of hotels near the airport.

Comfortable for family with early morning flight ”

Check in/out was efficient.We had large family room comfortably sleeping 3 adults & 2 teenagers, cost of round trip taxi to downtown San Jose (he parked and stayed with us for the hour and a half souvenir shopping) was very expensive, wifi in hotel was a plus, hotel meals (dinner and breakfast) were good.

Comfortable room, close to airport”

I've stayed many times, when needing to catch a flight out of San Jose early in the morning. the rooms are basic, but comfortable. Nice pool out back.

nice hotel near airport”

hotel near airport, close to shopping center, has own swimming pool, near bus station, offer free airport transfers, bath standard typical for cheap exotic hotels. Very small room.

For one night, excellent value and airport access”

The name says it all. If you have an early flight these guys are great. Pool great for the kids. There is a nice grocery store down the street to dump your leftover colones on coffee and snacks for the flight.
