Pros: Ok so the staff is so nice but room 414 had little to no water pressure and trickle of hot water...... I asked the front to change rooms but because they were full no possible.... So sucked it up and took Luke warm shower for two days.... Manager said he would comp a dinner at hotel eatery .... Didn't happen and no one seemed to know how it would work. Bed was comfortable location is great for San Jose .
My best advice to anyone staying in Costa Rica is get out of San Jose and see the countryside unless u want to be in New York meets Tijuana

Cons: Stayed here 1 night at two different times. The standard of the rooms in the same category was not the same. First room had a really hard bed and a wardrobe. The other room was beautiful with big windows, wardrobe, much better bed and had both a tv and a fan.

Pros: nice large room and was clean and tidy with plenty of storage. secure property with gated entry, able too good, took me a while to get in when i first arrived as there wasnt anyone on reception.
Cons: staff were friendly but their English wasnt great and therefore they werent able to give me any advice on where to walk around or things to see. 24 hour coffee wasnt available both times i went to get some (4am airport pick up made extra tough) the biggest problem was the shared bathroom. the light didnt work, kept going on and off, the shower was very temperamental and their door was difficult to lock. This place was very noisy, the road and other guest noises can be clearly heard.
