We arrived late afternoon with 2 kids, check in process was simple and efficient. Staff was friendly although not too forthcoming with information, specifically about parking. When we asked at check-in if there was parking for the hotel, the reception said just park on the street and that they've never had any problems before (anyone who knows Costa Rica, knows that nobody ever leaves a car parked on the street overnight). When we arrived back after dinner, we found out that there was a hotel parking lot right across the street for the VERY modest sum of $5 a night. We couldn't figure out why they didn't mention it before. Good breakfast included in price of room. Not cheap, but better than other options we saw in similar price range.

After fighting insane Friday traffic on the Interamerican Highway and Highway 142 all day, the promise of a well-rated hotel in La Fortuna sounded great. Upon arrival, the exterior (particularly the balcony, canopied with blooming orchids) looked promising. Check-in went smoothly enough, and all seemed well.

However, once we got into our room, we were assailed with an odor that can only be described as a combination of a high school locker room combined with a pile of souring, wet towels. Even turning on the air conditioning made little difference. We probably should have made a fuss but were too tired.

Breakfast was pretty skimpy (only 1 egg and no gallo pinto) but prepared well and tasty enough, but checking out was a pain. Either the computer was down or the clerk was inexperienced, so it took longer than seemed reasonable. Another customer behind us in line was nearly frantic, as it looked as if he'd miss his tour bus.

We'd like to re-visit the town and surrounding area but will definately find other lodging!

It is a very nice experience! Its the best hotel that we stay in Costa Rica, one thing to improve will be the wifi signal, but generally the hotel is ok! the Service is the best!

Very nice people running this hotel, useful location and good prices on the rooms. Street noise gets a little loud in the morning, but this place IS in the middle of town, so I can't really complain. The breakfast was pretty decent as well. I miss gallo pinto.

Would definitely recommend this place. I already miss their friendly faces.
