This hotel was the one we stayed in before our flight to the US the next day. There was a quick check in. They had a garage to park the rental car. The suite was ample. No air conditioner. It had fans and we opened the windows. That part was a bit uncomfortable since a train passes by like every 15 minutes. It was very loud. Thank God it stopped going by before bedtime. The hot breakfast was good: eggs, sausage, rice, toast, fruit, drinks. The hotel was close to restaurants and malls.
The receptionists are all very kind and helpful. The check-in and out are fast and easy. The room is big and has all the necessities, so you can cook if you want to. Although the hotel infrastructure needs some improvement, the location is perfect, near the mall, fast food, and a convenience store. The breakfast is nice and has some choices. The tours I booked can pick me up from the hotel directly, so this is great. Will come back.next time.

This was a great choice for me and my family. We had a great stay. The staff was nice but they could have been more warm and friendly. The rooms themselves were clean and maintained well. I like that it was like an apartment (it had a fridge, microwave, stove top, sink, and plates/cups). The breakfast was good. The location was great for us because we were able to walk to the mall that's nearby and it was a short drive to downtown San Jose.

I stay there about 10 times a year. The property is in my opinion, the best in the San Pedro area. No worries about someone there stealing credit card identity as happened at a nearby hotel. I do wonder about employee turnover there.

This is the perfect place to stay if you know San Jose a little bit. You are right in San Pedro with easy access to the rest of the city via public transportation. Nice restaurants are all within walking distance as is the pleasant campus of the University of Costa Rica. The campus is a great place for a run too! I like the fact that all rooms have kitchenettes too!
