"The food was absolutely terrible, one of the worst restaurants I've been in CR, and I've been to plenty. 8000 colones for a "casado" that was mediocre, when you can pay 3000 in a small restaurant anywhere and get much better quality. The bathroom smelt of urine, and the room was not well cleaned. I am not coming back, that's for sure."

"This is a phenomenal hotel with great friendly and helpful staff. Tight security made the hotel feel very safe. The room was spotless, as was the rest of the hotel. There is a nice restaurant on the first floor. The price was incredible and even included breakfast, which was always hot and delicious. Also had free wifi, which was very helpful as my phone didn't work at all in this country! The location is great, on a bus line to and from the airport in Alajuela and walking distance from downtown and El Mercado Central. I highly recommend this hotel for a great comfortable place to stay on a budget! Este es un hotel fenomenal con un personal amable y servicial. Seguridad estricta hizo que el hotel sentir muy seguro. La habitación estaba inmaculada, al igual que el resto del hotel. Hay un buen restaurante en el primer piso. El precio era increíble con desayuno  incluido , que siempre estaba caliente y delicioso. También había WiFi gratis, lo cual fue muy útil ya que mi teléfono no funcionaba para nada en este país! La ubicación es conveniente, en una línea de autobús desde y hacia el aeropuerto de Alajuela, a poca distancia del centro de la ciudad y El Mercado Central. Yo recomiendo sumamente este hotel para un gran lugar cómodo para alojarse en un presupuesto!"

"I must say if any one knows that meaning of Hospitality it is the manger here. Don Diego as I learned he was named, was one of the most helpful people I have ever come in contact with. He was more than willing to make tons of calls to find us a ride to Manuel Antonio Beach. After we figured this mess out we found very little internet access in our room, only to be given a much nicer room by the manager. As the only guest in this comfy hotel we had a huge spread when we awoke all for us. If in San Jose this has to be a top pick. It may not be the cheapest hotel, but this is surely a value for the price and service."
