    The location was great! The hotel was very easy to get to by car. Everything was super clean: our bedroom, the bathrooms, the foyers, restaurant. The selection at breakfast was basic but everything was very delicious.

    Reasonably priced, functional hotel well-positioned between airport and city centre. New bathrooms. Happy to provide early breakfast-to-go. Worked well for Tortuguero transport pickup. Really nice reception staff.

    Clean and spacious rooms with everything you need. We stayed here after arriving in San Jose via SJO airport and used the shuttle which was a good price and was waiting for us on arrival which was great. We’d had issues with our arrival due to...
