Breakfast was a full tico style breakfast and the service was excellent. There are trains running nearby so a little noise but that’s probably everywhere in this neighborhood. I highly recommend. Great value for the price.

Small nice hotel in the heart in San Jose on barrio Escalante, very convenient to stay 1-2 nights to enjoy the city and/or night life . Room is average, beds, beddings, towels, soap in the bathroom, no fan or AC, it was a cool weather, so no needed. No elevator for the second floor, about 10 steps. The breakfast is great with traditional Costa Rican gallo pinto, coffee and fruits to start the day. Easy to walk everywhere or call Uber/taxi

Doing your laundry in San Jose’ can be hassle and it’s expensive. Also, the light above the bathroom sink, that I need to shave, was out and it wasn’t the bulb.

I came to check in with my 83 year old handicapped parents and there were no elevators, no handicapped parking accessible and my father was very unimpressed with the quality of this hotel (it’s old and very plain) and its sketchy location. We stayed at the Hyatt Place previously and this is a 2 star in comparison for the same rate. I didn’t know when I booked there would not be an elevator and the staff refused to refund. I did not cancel the reservation but someone on their end did for me because it showed as cancel in Orbitz when I opened the app. While trying to acquire another hotel, this hotel came up as a choice on Orbitz but when I clicked on it to “try to book”, there were no rooms available.

Primero no hay un cartel visible del hotel. La habitación no tenía ni ventilador ni aire, era muy caliente. La cama súper incómoda, las almohadas casi peor. En el baño había muchas hormigas. En las 3 noches que estuve no hicieron la habitación nunca. Solo la primer noche cambiaron la toalla. El servicio de los trabajadores, maravilloso!

Sin pena ni gloria

Estadía rápida en San José por 1 noche, parqueo muy limitado, a lo mucho 3-4 vehiculos (en fila), por lo que tuve que dejar mi vehiculo en via publica durante la noche, ademàs, la zona tiene prohibiciòn de parqueo sin boleta pero la misma, segun indican en recepcion, se descarga a través de una aplicacion la cual no saben exactamente cual es. las habitaciones muy limitadas en equipamente y tamaño, incluso solo dispone de 1 toma corriente (el cual es utilizado para conectar el TV y la caja de cable) por lo que si requiere conectar aparatos electronicos debes hacerlo en el baño o desconectar el TV o el cable. Al dìa siguiente al abrir el tubo del baño no salia agua ya que la presion es muy pobre, por lo que tuve que utilizar el lavamanos (de donde si salia agua con aceptable presion). El precio me parece elevado para lo que se brinda, el cual es mas de tipo hostal, es evidente que te cobran por ubicacion ya que literalmente se ubica a pasos de restaurantes y bares del Barrio Escalante. Al menos el desayuno, la limpieza y la atención eran aceptables.
