“Nice friendly people, good place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

We only stayed here for two nights, once at the beginning of our trip, once at the end -largely because of the proximity to San Jose airport -but I would certainly stay there again and would recommend it to anyone.
The family are extremely nice and friendly, they provide a very good shuttle service to and from the airport,and they very kindly let us leave loads of stuff in a suitcase which we picked up on the second night ( we didn't need the stuff for our Costa Rica trip and were going onto Cuba after)

Room Tip: The only down side is that the tin roof rattles outside if there is a lot of wind..I didn't hear...

“Return visitor - still like it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

We have been traveling to and from CR for 20 years and often
need a short stay, convenient, hotel near the airport. Arturo and
Sary, plus their boys, provide an ideal please and great service.
They provide prompt shuttle service, excellent clean rooms, and
very friendly advice and recommendations. And you cannot go
wrong with the price.

“Great hotel in convenient location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

Although there isn't much to do in the immediate area, we enjoyed our stay here tremendously. It is very convenient because of its proximity to the airport (the hotel also provided transportation to the airport, which was very much appreciated!). The room and amenities were great, and the staff was very helpful.

“Family owned hotel with very warm attention”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

All the staff at the Hotel is very helpful and warm. I stayed at this location because its proximity to the company I was visiting for work and also to avoid the crazy traffic to/from San Jose. The rooms are comfy with free wifi, the breakfast is very nice and the bus stop to San Jose/Heredia is very close in case you are on a budget.
I will come back again.
