The hotel itself is excellent. The quality of the service was impeccable. However, to be frank, the neighborhood it is in is not the best and there reallys isn't much to do in San Jose. The Pros - clean rooms - excellent internet - good restaurant for breakfast and dinner The Cons - not much locally around the hotel -... More

We stayed for one night recently. I had stayed there twice before & always found it charming. They had expanded since my last visit, but the property is still nice. . . Especially considering what else is available in San Jose! Food has always been excellent, although higher priced than elsewhere. It has still been good value for the delicious... More

What an experience! This is a superb hotel, probably the best you can book in San Jose. Upon arrival we were given a fruit cocktail while we checked in, setting the tone for the rest of the stay. Our room was a good size, with a small courtyard containing a fountain and plants. The bathroom was plushly decorated with ample... More

We stayed here for two nights at the beginning of our trip in Costa Rica. It is well priced and located only about a mile from the central walk in town and tourist attractions. We walked everywhere and had no problems at all. The staff was very helpful and the food in the restaurant was delicious. We arrived too late... More
