Hotel appears fresh and upkeep excels, Breakfast offerings are exemplary at this price point, you would expect this level from top line hotels. The shining star is the hotel staff who are friendly, pleasant and provided a concierge like service when assistance was requested.

I’m reading this. Hotel is good because if you’re into a basic hotel with a clean, comfortable bed, but without the thrills and without nice touches such as bottled water in the rooms, real coffee, mugs, or even a glass available in a room, and a better breakfast this is not your hotel. But the location is great and you’re able to walk to one of my favorite breakfast and lunch locations in all of San Jose. I would stay here again if it was the right price, but there are other hotels close by at similar rates that are just a little bit nicer.

I checked out before breakfast was served. The hotel was conveniently located with plenty of restaurants and shops around it. The room was spacious and clean, and the bed was comfortable. Getting here by Uber from the airport took 1 hr due to traffic congestions in the late afternoon. But going to the airport in the early morning hour (before 6 am) took only 15 min. Overall, it was a nice stay and the hotel and room condition are as one would expect of a Holiday Inn Express.

The hotel staff were unfriendly and did not know any English making check-in difficult. They have complementary coffee and they did not. They only had coffee with breakfast. The only things that we didn’t enjoy were the beds and the gym was decent, but the pool was not that nice. If we return to Costa Rica, we would not stay here again.

We stood here before flying back home from spending a week in costa rica. My wife wanted a clean cheap hotel not to far from the airport for our early morning flight home. This hotel delivered it was clean and felt safe. It was about 15 minutes to our rental car company by the airport so it delivered on location. There were plenty of eating locations and a mall located about 15 mins away as well that we visited that evening. Overall we would visit this location again

Great hotel stay
Great new hotel in a convenient location with lots of restaurants in walking distance. Comfortable beds with pillow options (firm or soft) A/C and hot water worked great, good standard free hot hotel breakfast. The pool is small but refreshing and a lovely way to pass time while waiting for a flight. I would stay here again.
