An owner of a hotel in Spain told me that she thought TripAdvisor can be used as a weapon against a fair-minded hotel. I agreed, but also said that for a traveler like me, it is all I have to bargain with when I get an unfair hotel or below-average service. But it is not uncommon in talking to owners... More

I travel frequently in Costa Rica, and never have I stayed in a worse hotel. The website makes it look attractive and describes it as "near" the beach. It is, however, located on one of the noisiest and most unattractive streets in Jaco, right next to a construction site. The reception area is unkempt, small and unpleasant. One must pay... More

HypersonicStavanger is right about the lack of circulation within the rooms. When we arrived, it did seem rather dank for comfort. However, you eventually get used to it.

We just decided to forget this after one night and ordered a new hotel for the next five days. REASON: We got two rooms on the ground floor without any natural... More
