The hotel is located in a gated area in San Jose, Costa Rica, a bit further from the central part. The rooms, although not as elegant as shown in the pictures, are spacious and equipped with everything you need for a short stay. The service is excellent with friendly staff who are easy to communicate with. However, the dining experience may not meet your expectations with limited variety. Overall, it's a great place but might consider options closer to downtown for the next visit.

The hotel was conveniently located close to the main road, offering spacious and well-equipped rooms. Despite some minor cleanliness issues and noise from ongoing work outside, the room was satisfactory. However, the surrounding area was not the most pristine, with dirt and bird feces present. The friendly and accommodating service added to the overall experience.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but facing a noisy road, which affected my sleep quality. The service was a bit of a mixed bag with friendly and helpful staff but some issues restricting access for guests. The location was convenient for walking to tourist spots but felt unsafe initially. The dining experience had its highs and lows, with ample and varied options but not meeting the expectations for a hotel of this standard.

The hotel offers large and comfortable rooms equipped with everything you need for a short stay, although they can be slightly dark and noisy at times. The service is very helpful and accommodating, with attentive staff assisting with various arrangements. The location, while somewhat convenient for downtown strolls and museums, may require a bit of walking to reach central areas. The dining experience is generally good, but special requests may be needed for certain dietary preferences. Overall, a decent option for a stay with some minor drawbacks.

The hotel's rooms are pretty ok, but they smell strongly of chlorine and are quite far from the elevator. The service was great, especially Pablo the concierge, but not very helpful overall and unresponsive to emails. The location is convenient for downtown activities in San Jose but makes for an unpleasant walk to the town center. The complimentary dining is plentiful and tasty, offering a nice variety. Overall, the facilities are out of date but still functional.

The hotel had both positive and negative aspects. The rooms were nice and clean with a surprisingly large bed, but some issues like holes in the walls and a dirty shower showed years of wear. The service was excellent overall with a few minor hiccups, and the location, although a bit far from everything, had its own charm. The dining experience was lacking variety and atmosphere, still somewhat pricey. The facilities were adequate but not exceptional.
