After a less than satisfactory experience across the street we moved to this hotel for a brief night's stay, leaving at 11 p.m. for a flight back to the US. They were very friendly and helpful, although there may have been some collaboration with the taxi that took us to the airport. He charged us 5000 colones even though the... More

Expat here on the move again. I was in greater San Jose area for a one night stay. A local taxi driver advised me of this great place. I had told him that I was looking for some place that was close to the main airport. I spent the night there. The room was clean, quiet and they spoke english!... More

i live since 20 years in costa rica and the hotel LA GUARIA INN is still my most favorite one, because i travel with my dogs and cats, they r also welcome there ( as long as they behave well ) it is a 4 minute taxi-drive to the airport, it is quiet and also close to the center and... More

I have stayed in La Guaria Inn everytime I am in Costa Rica for the past 10 years. The rooms are beautiful and spacious, the staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. In all honesty, I would not stay at another hotel in Alajuela. It is extremely safe and secure, and is a peaceful nook in the busy city of Alajuela.... More

Not only did they help me get my belongings out of Customs they treated me like a person. I have sent at least 1,000 people to stay with them through the years and all... More

It is close to the fast food joints and the airport but those are the only perks in my opinion. The room left much to be desired- where to begin. It was not... More

I recently stayed at this establishment with a group of college students on an agriculture tour of Costa Rica. We stayed for 8 nights and found the accomendations very comfortable. I have a bad back so a poor mattress can be a problem, we stayed there for 8 nights with no back problems. We had 30 students in our group... More

I stayed here for three nights my first stay and everyone was wonderful! Staff spoke good English, which was a relief, suit was spacious and very clean! Jose and family could not have been more helpful in booking tours, getting local assistance for a dental problem I had, and all were able to help with any question I had! Located... More

Travelers beware. Avoid this hotel at all costs! After returning to San Jose from a wonderful week in Golfito on the bus I was hounded by taxi drivers at the bus station that made up all of these stories about why I needed to spend the night in Alajuela for my late afternoon flight back to the US the next...
