The hotel rooms are clean, staff is very nice, and beds are comfortable. It is very basic but a good spot for the budget traveler.

Pros: Its easy to arrive, the place is nice and is in a main avenue. Cons: Street parking, some issues with welcoming and payment status with staff. For the price is very reasonable and great option if you are staying in San Jose

Verified traveller

small room but very clean. Bathroom OK, clean towels. Furnishings... basic but at this price for the room it's ok. Very busy and very noisy street. No restaurants, grocery store nearby. No private parking, we park on the street. Courteous and welcoming staff. Living room and fridge in common.

Office hours are 8am-9pm. So, I arrived at 2am. The inn is in the hood in the middle of nowhere. Doors were locked. No one answered the doorbell or picked up phone. After an hour in the streets, a resident let me in. Slept in lobby. Got room, but smelled funny. The bathroom smelled like sewage, but that wasn’t it. Something died in the night stand. Far from anything and taxis are expensive.

Would definitely recommend NOT staying here. We had no hot water, the agent at the desk didn't speak any English so it was very hard to communicate even though their website states they speak English, Spanish, and a third language, which I can't remember. No one is ever at the front desk to assist, even though it says 15/7 staff. The website also says they offer off-site parking which is not true. We had to find a nearby parking garage to park at for the one night we spent. It is far from the city center and most attractions. We ended up checking out after just one night but we're supposed to be there for 5. Choose somewhere else to stay. Overall a very disappointing experience.

Não é o que parece nas fotos
Não consegui nem ficar no hotel. A Localização era muito ruim, a entrada do hotel bem diferente do que estava na foto. Parecia que era pouco seguro e ainda não tinha onde estacionar os carros, com alguns parados na calçada em frente ao hotel. Infelizmente procurei outra opção de estadia e perdi o valor dessa

Mosquitos killed the 5 stars
The stay was easy except for the MOSQUITOS AND THE STRANGE SMELLS COMING FROM THE BATHROOM SINK- everything else was above board. We kept the window shut and they still made their way in-
