    Affordable hotel in Escape”

    The room I stayed in was not modern or fancy but perfectly comfortable with everything I needed (and clean). The breakfast is lovely and the staff are great, and you are positioned very centrally in Escazu. Perfectly safe to walk around at night easy to access most places by taxi. Airport also not very far off.

    Nice hotel with exceptionally nice personnel”

    Nice hotel with exceptionally nice personnel. It’s kind of a small out-of-the-way hotel in a nice part of town, very close to everything. Lacresha and staff are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met.

    Just for the night before the flight”

    Their was a big difference in the staff. The night guy was a lot better than the day gay. Included breakfast was very disappointing just toast. If you want anything else, like an egg, you have to pay extra. Not included by my opinion
