Had to wait a while to be checked in.

Endroit parfait pour un séjour à San José!
Pros:

En face du parc, beau quartier, plusieurs autobus à proximité pour le transport en commun. Il y a de l’eau chaude pour la douche et une bonne variété d’aliments pour le déjeuner!

Cons:

Il manque de crochets pour suspendre les serviettes et il manque de prise de courant, impossible de brancher la lampe de chevet!

Todo mal
Pros:

…

Cons:

Habitaciones sucias, manchas en las sabanas. El olor a frito que subía por la escalera a la habitación no ayudaba. Para colmo el agua caliente no funcionaba por la mañana…
