Bel hôtel mais un rapport qualité/prix plutôt décevant
Pros:

La décoration intérieure et l'histoire de l'hôtel

Cons:

Chambre assez petite avec un "grand" lit double dont la largeur du matelas était proche de 1,60m,
A notre arrivée en voiture, le personnel devant l'hôtel nous a juste indiqué l'emplacement du parking sans vraiment nous aider.
Rapport qualité/prix un peu décevant par rapport à d'autres hôtels en plein centre-ville

Very nice city hotel with great restaurant
Pros:

I spent 2 nights in this hotel before and after my trip to Tortuguero. I have stayed in this hotel before and returned as I remembered it as a nice, small colonial type hotel. I was not disappointed on this visit. The staff is really nice and helpful. The rooms are clean, the bathroom bright, the bed comfortable and they store your suitcase for you if you go on 2-Day excursion and come back. They also prepared a nice breakfast box for me as I left before the normal breakfast hours. They also have a great restaurant in house which is worth a visit.
