Convenient location in San Jose. Clean. Friendly staff.”

The location was great for my travel goal which was connecting to Ticabus to travel by land to Nicaragua. The staff was excellent!
The building is old but I can not complain given the price I paid. My major concern was the internet which was spotty.

if it wasn’t for the helpful staff, location and breakfast we’d have rated this poor”

location, breakfast and friendly staff.
don’t believe we got the upgrade, when we checked-in they wanted to give us an inside room but we asked for an outside but it didn’t have a pleasant view. They later claimed the outside room was the upgrade! unfortunately all night we heard music coming through the bathroom from either the room above or next door and the smell of smoke.

Absolutely zero facilities, not even a minibar or a bar. The rooms look like from a David Lynch movie - depressing 70s vibes. No reason for 4*.
