Adequate facility, very good price

Hotel seems set-up for business travellers. There is no place you can walk to such as shopping, restaurants or park; taxi needed for any trip. At site restaurants are OK but little variety, high prices and unexplainable variation in details (for example, one meal-time at main restaurant not a single table had a napkin). We got a very good deal for the air and hotal package and enjoyed several day trips arranged thru the hotel.

Gov't regulated taxis (with yellow triangle on side) are dependable but will charge up to 3 times other taxi's charge. The other taxis, if arranged thru hotel, seem safe and just as good as the regulated ones.

Good Value

This hotel was recommened at the bottom of my flight itineray. Thought the value was great for the money, but the buffet was overpriced. I enjoyed the free breakfast. I won't hesitate to book again!

Visit family and friends in Costa Rica

Excellent service and location. We were able to travel to different parts of the city and several towns close to San Jose. It is also close to the airport and the hotel offers free transportation. The restaurant breakfast was superb.

Hotel driving distance is close to family members and to several areas around the city. Not far from the center of San Jose and shopping areas. Also close to the airport.
