Very beautiful property, centrally located in Alajuela, only a few minutes drive from the airport. Our bathroom was shared but it is kept immaculately clean. It is a shame that we only had one night here before catching our early morning flight. Next time, I will plan to stay longer to enjoy the accommodation more.

We arrived very late at night and both the front desk man and the security guard were outside and waiting to help us get out of the taxi. Very central location. Basic yet unique and very well cared for little bnb style hotel. The breakfast was a wonderful bonus.

Almost like a B&B. Room and public areas were very clean. Staff wax excellent. The only drawback was I couldn't get warm water out of the shower. Otherwise, no complaints and recommended as a consideration against the $200/night mega hotels near the airport. We were only an 8 minute cab ride from the airport. You could actually walk to the airport depending on how much baggage you have.
