Buen hotel para alojarse en Alajuela
Pros:

El desayuno está muy bien.
La piscina es muy agradable aunque el agua está muy fría.
Ofrecen 1 transfer gratis al aeropuerto. Esto es genial!

Cons:

Quizás y por poner un pero es la ubicación muy cercana a la estación y parece ser no muy seguro pasear por los alrededores a partir de las 20:00pm

Not for the novice traveler.
Pros:

Most of the staff was friendly and helpful. It was low cost and they did offer one way transportation to the hotel from the airport.

Cons:

The breakfast was a step below continental. Very few options, only healthy option was bananas and oranges. Could hear all the street noise.

Guter Ort für die erste Nacht
Pros:

Die Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiter.

Cons:

Wir haben uns vom Flugzeug aus angemeldet und die Ankunftszeit mitgeteilt, wurden aber erst nach Anruf im Hotel recht spät abgeholt. Sehen wir aber darüber hinweg weil der Rest gut war. Bis auf das Frühstück, das ist einfach viel zu schlecht für den Preis. Keinerlei Auswahl nur Toast und Schinken. Da ist Verbesserung wünschenswert.

Còmode per fer nit abans per sortir a fer ruta
Pros:

La situació per dormir si el vol arriba a la nit, i l'endemà es vol sortir directament al matí a fer ruta. Neteja impecable

Cons:

L'aparcament està a un carrer de l'hotel, i de nit no ens va agradar caminar per allà, bastantes escales fins a l'habitació. Hotel molt atrotinat.
