This place is huge! We were just staying one night after flying but is could be a destination. There are two and a half bathrooms, a jacuzzi bath, beds for for and a well equipped kitchen. The showers were amazing and best part, walk right out the pool area.

Great check in experience. Our flight arrived past midnight and the front desk was closed but the hotel staff messaged me instructions to get in and they had my keys and room ready once I arrived. We are not picky, but we care about clean rooms and our room was super clean and had everything we needed.

    It’s in a good location for my need to arrive and leave San Jose by bus to Guanacaste. The district is also in walking distance to the city center. The Staff was friendly and efficient, especially in the morning since I needed a fast breakfast to catch the bus.

    Good budget hotel. The room was big, the shower was hot. Breakfast was included and there was a choice. The hotel is next to the bus stations so good location if you have an early/late bus. Lots of places to eat around.
