    I truly enjoyed that it was fairly clean and ideal, the staff were exceptional and rooms were airy. It was in a very central setting to other areas of Costa Rica. I was surprised at nearby Cafeteria Central, they had some goodies, drinks.

    Would not hesitate to return there and strongly recommend it. The venue is fantastic, clean and the location is great and lovely just next door to the downtown, both the Jade and Gold museums and good restaurant to eat dinner. I thoroughly enjoyed the staff, they are welcoming.

    We enjoyed rooms with a king bed. The breakfast was free and particularly good, such variety, with gallo pinto and omelets, as for instance.

    free valet parking
    great breakfast
    check-in mix-up

    We explored the Central Market and checked out the National Theater. The free valet parking was a lifesaver, and the breakfast really hit the spot each morning. Definitely recommend for a fun group getaway!

    One downside was the check-in process. There was a mix-up with our room types, which took a bit to resolve. Just make sure to double-check your reservations.

    room charm
    check-in issues

    The location is fantastic-it's right in the historic center of San José. I had a very relaxing stay in a Deluxe Double Room with Balcony, and the free valet parking was definitely a plus. The breakfast included in the package was delicious and set me up for a day of sightseeing. Just keep your expectations realistic regarding the room's charm.

    disastrous check-in
    unhelpful service

    The check-in process was a complete disaster, with a mix-up on our room type that took far too long to resolve. To make matters worse, the service was unhelpful and dismissive. After waiting endlessly, I received no assistance with my bags. The overall atmosphere felt sketchy and unwelcoming, contributing to an unpleasant stay.
