Pros:

The staff was very nice and helpful, the location is great next to walmart and a big mall

Cons:

The room felt small and a little suffocating with an old design that made it feel smaller , but great for one night

Pros:

Location

Cons:

Having to wait over an hour for the shuttle and when it finally turned up cramming so many in it was very uncomfortable all the time people trying to scam you claiming they worked for the hotel

Great stay! 👍🏻
Pros:

I only stayed for one night, but everything was wonderful! The bed was comfortable, the room was clean, and the breakfast was excellent with plenty of options.

Cons:

The only negative thing I noticed was that the wake-up call I had requested the night before never came.

Convenient and friendly airport hotel
Pros:

The shuttle bus that took us from airport to hotel was on time and driver friendly and helpful. The staff once we arrived were also friendly and helpful despite it being in the early hours of the morning. Our room was a good size, nice and clean and comfortable. The bathroom likewise was clean and I liked the decorative tiles.

Cons:

Only slight negatives were the lack of anywhere to hang our towels in the bathroom and quite water weak pressure in the shower. Plus the walls are quite thin - we could hear another guest snoring all night long. Aside from that, a decent hotel.

Super Startpunkt für einen Costa Rica-Road-Trip
Pros:

Sehr gutes Hotel für einen Stop-over, soll heißen wenn man vor einem Costa Rica Road-Trip eine Nacht in San Jose nahe dem Glughafen verbringen möchte / muss (wie bei uns der Fall). Das Personal ist super-freundlich und mega-hilfsbereit. Das Frühstücks-Buffet ist umfassend und frisch / angemessen. Die Zimmer sind ausreichend geräumig mit schönem Bad. In der Nâhe (zu Fuß ca. 10 Min.) ist eine große Mall mit einigen ATMs.

Cons:

Das Zentrum von San Jose ist ca. 30 Min. mit dem Auto entfernt, wobei das Zentrum von San Jose nur bedingt interessant ist.

Comfortable stay close to the airport
Pros:

The hotel was close to the airport with free airport shuttle. The room was comfortable and it's next door to several restaurants. The gym is a little small but the equipment available is in great condition.
