With Sabana park near by, an easy walk into town and lots of good restaurants either a walk or short cab drive away this is the best deal in town. The housekeeping is top rate, recently renovated bathrooms and clean comfortable beds make this an easy place to relax...but bring ear plugs because you get early traffic noise although my... More

The location (near the park, banks and restaurants) & the size of the hotel where just perfect for us. At first I found strange that the hotel did not have a pool, but I later realized you don't end up wishing to swim often in San Jose due to whether and temperature (at least when we where there in May)....

I stayed for 4 nights with this hotel and I must say I loved Costa Rica even more because of this hotel. First, the service was excellent. The receptionists provided excellent service - they were very helpful and accommodating. When I asked for a wake up call at 6:00 am for my early tour pick up, they didn't fail to... More

I checked out a month ago and I am still fuming about my experience! We chose the hotel because of its location in San Jose and reviews were decent. The hotel itself was in good shape with updated baths and a very comfortable bed. But the service experience makes me want to warn others to stay away! I wanted to... More

Although San Jose isnt the most beautiful city in the word to stay in, this hotel was very clean, and the staff were very friendly. Though the shower was kind of weird; it had no curtain, so water got onto the floor unless you tilted the head towards the wall. We stayed there for two nights in order to visit... More

Thank you. Our showers have an open design so our guests may experience our rain shower within an open area, as if you were bathing in a rain forest. We have curtains and curtain rods available at our guests request and informing at our reception desk, in order to give both possibilities. Thanks again for your comment, it has helped... More

I stayed here for a week while visiting a local pharmacetuical factory for business. The factory uses this hotel for all its visitors. It's a smaller hotel, older style rooms that are on the samallish size but really had no probelms. Spectacular vews from my befroom windows of the mountains, good 24 hour security, free wifi internet in each room... More

I was in San Jose for business and stayed here for six nights. The junior suite was very spacious. The restaurant off the lobby was good for times when I couldn't get out for a meal. The location was excellent and convenient to downtown. More

This hotel could easily cost you $180 plus in the united states. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We needed a very early wake up call, 3am, and a taxi for 4am to catch a flight. When we got downstairs to the lobby there was coffee made and our taxi was already on its way (at 3:40!). I would... More

Less than one day into my stay, I returned to my room to find my "safe" had been opened and money was missing. My colleague, staying in another room, found the same had happened to him. Worst of all, the hotel manager declared that this was "not my problem." perhaps I should have known, safes with a key, not a... More

We truly regret Mr. Makasabes experience. I would love to know the name of whom you refer as our manager, as non of our management will answer in such a way. On the other hand, we have fired a recepcionist precisely after your stay, due to poor service and attention to detail, which is not our well recognized way or... More

I stayed at the parque del lago between Oct 28 and Nov 2nd. The Good; the hotel is very clean, the rooms are cleaned thoroughly every day. The security in the area is good, there are two gates to the property that are locked after 10pm and there are security guards around the clock. Most of the staff are friendly... More
