Loved the beautiful pool and gardens
Pros:

I loved the huge pool area and gardens. Close to the airport, restaurants, groceries & shopping. I was just there for the night and flying out of Liberia the following day, so it had everything I needed.

Cons:

Expensive, but expected for Costa Rica, I guess.

Estancia cómoda y agradable.
Pros:

Desayuno excelente, variado y la comida calientita. También comimos al almuerzo, todo muy rico, había platos un poco caros pero otros accesibles y ricos.

Cons:

No es culpa del hotel, pero hay demasiados pájaros "zanates", tanto que en el restaurant se corre el riesgo de que caiga una cuita sobre el plato de comida, de hecho, había cuitas sobre los posa pinzas al desayuno :-( muy desagradable, el personal trata de mantener todo bien cubierto; sin embargo, son demasiados y cuesta controlarlo.
Adicional, es tanta la vegetación que las piscinas se cubren con hojas muy rápido, de repente sería bueno agregar más horarios para que el personal limpien o saquen las hojas con más frecuencia de las piscinas.

Hotel viejo, muy caro para lo que es.
Pros:

El hotel tiene una buena ubicación, cerca del centro de la ciudad y a unos pasos de un centro comercial con supermercado y lugares de comida.

Cons:

Se ve descuidado, viejo. El gimnasio estaba sucio, sin aire acondicionado, sin dispensador de agua y con máquinas en mal estado. El aire acondicionado de la habitación nos falló dos veces. El desayuno es de poca variedad.

Good for a short stay.
Pros:

The grounds were very beautiful. It looked like a resort. Large pools, outdoor restaurant that stayed open late, lots of Palm trees and other plants. Peacocks were free to roam inside the hotel and out. It had an exotic feel.

Cons:

We had to wait for our room even though we showed up at check in. It looked like it had been cleaned very quickly and the floors seemed a bit dirty. The shower had little water pressure and no hot water. Outside traffic and partying made it hard to sleep.

Very unique best western, would definitely stay again.
Pros:

We had an early flight to catch so booked a room here since it was close to the airport. It was a really cool spot! From all the peacocks wandering around, to the cute little restaurant, and the quiet pools. Staff were friendly and accommodating and booked us a cab to the airport. A great last stop on the trip, would definitely recommend.

Cons:

I was disappointed we missed the breakfast because it looked like they would have quite the set up. But it's not the hotel's fault our flight was so early!

Easy place to stay and find. In town.

Places to eat nearby. Quiet setting except the peacocks going all night. Quite near the airport but traffic bad on the way in.

Cons:

Bed was hard. No smart TV.

Fine for the 2 nights before flight out.
Pros:

Staff are friendly and helpful, and the room is clean enough.
It's good for a one or two-night stay if you're flying out of Daniel Oduber.
The pool view is stunning not sure the pictures capture the vibarancy, and breakfast is healthy. It was nice to work out at the gym. Conveniently located near Walmart and some takeaway places for food.
Was able to save my luggage after check out , so good if you have a late flight.

Cons:

Only Gripe... Fix some of the doors to the rooms; they have expanded and let bugs in. Noisy . It is on a A road , and you hear the peacocks and iguanas, which sound like cats meowing.
