Excellent service
Pros:

The woman at the front desk was incredibly nice, even after I missed the breakfast period she offered to make me anything I wanted free of charge and gave great advice for things to see around town. There were renovations going on so not all of the amenities were available, but the staff did everything they could to make up for it. The location was perfect for sight seeing. The room was small, but clean and comfortable.

Pros:

The property is nice inside, newly painted. Very clean. Breakfast was awesome. But what really setcthis place apart were Mario who checked my son and I in and Juan who personally gave us our wake up call at 4am, made us breakfast and then stepped outside to wait for our cab that he called. It felt like we were guests in their home, especially when Juan was cooking for us.

Didn't need to go to San Jose
Pros:

Great place to stay after landing at at the San Jose airport. Caught the bus to Jaco the next morning. Elizabeth was a great help getting us started on our first Costa Rican trip.

Pros:

Remodeling is in progress and the room had new paint, but it was lacking some very basic, inexpensive things that guests expect: a luggage rack (or at least a chair) to get luggage off the floor; a rack with hangers (or at least a hook) to hang clothes; reading lights for the beds (or at least a lamp on the nightstand); a cup or glass to drink out of in the bathroom. TV was not working properly. The locks are old and the attendant must let guests in and out the front door. Not recommended for anyone with a car; there is no hotel parking, and the parking situation in downtown Alajuela is very bad. However, taxi to airport is inexpensive.

Nice Neighbourhood - Really amazing service!
Pros:

This place is located in a quiet neighbourhood. I made the mistake of booking on the wrong day and showed up at 2 AM from my flight. They were extremely accommodating and changed my reservations. Not only that but they accommodated an additional friend with and gave them a room on the spot. I was extremely pleased with their customer service and hospitality. Breakfast was great and room was nice. Perfect cozy spot for friends or couples. I would definitely go again here just for their service!

Noisy, stuffy room
Pros:

My room was a stuffy, windowless cave on the first floor. There was frequently lots of noise from the lobby outside.Their credit card reader was broken, luckily I had enough cash on hand. The first shower I took didn't have hot water, the second had some, but it ran out pretty quickly. Breakfast was good, cooked to order, probably the only redeeming thing. Location next to the park is nice. Wifi was good.

Don't Get Double-Charged
Pros:

The worker at the front desk was shockingly rude, and tried to make me pay for the room in cash, even though I had already paid via Expedia. He finally gave me a key, but it was too a small basic room, when I had paid for a larger balcony room. When I went back to the desk, he again tried to make me pay cash for the 'upgrade.' Not sure if this was a scam or just terrible record-keeping. It was eventually sorted out, but it was not a pleasant experience. The rooms was small and basic - not great, but not terrible.
