This was a great spot after our flight. We enjoyed the pool and walking around the property. There wasn't a lot nearby but we were only there for a short stay before heading to other areas of Costa Rica.
I would give this 4.5 stars. Staff was great and very helpful, rooms were clean and housekeeping frequent, no noise from outside and breakfast was diverse and yummy. My only complaint was the downstairs restaurant dinner experience was less than ideal. I did g eat at the bar upstairs but heard the food was better by my teammate.
Room was small, bathroom even smaller, shower was squirting very hot water intermittent, noisy corridor, unknown guests randomly knocking doors. Although, we requested higher floors with the reservation, they actually gave us a room right on the first floor in front of the parking. Breakfast was great though.
Since our arrival the staff were really nice and attentive, the front desk girl was amazing I dont remember her name but she help us alot we , giving us a complementary early checking that was geat after a 6hr drive , the hotel is nice and clean , they have a casino , Dennys and a bar restaurant and the breakfast is a buffet really nice
The area around the hotel was a little sketchy, but the hotel itself was very nice and clean. We enjoyed the breakfast and the staff was nice. I would stay there again if I came back to San Jose.
I loved this place, very clean and the staff is just amazing. Definitely will stay there again and will recommend it as well. Very well kept and the breakfast is great as well.
Been staying here for more than 15 years The hotel is great, the Casino is nice and the Bar ChiChis is a sports bar with great food. The pool area is nice. There is also a Dennys here and a Subway across the street. I've been here 3 times this year.
