I stayed here in Jan 2012. From the moment I arrived I felt right at home. The front desk staff were friendly, informative and responsive (and beautiful) The room was clean, had all amenities with good shower pressure and plenty of hot water. I booked ATV ride and whitewater rafting through the front desk and EVERYONE went to great pains... More

Used to be a nice place, friendly and mellow. Sure, people brought their 'dates' here, but I never felt uncomfortable bringing my kids here. It's changed now -- gringo owners, a business model that caters to the "gentleman traveler", and each room has condoms prominently displayed on the bedside table that are for sale. Not a nice place for families... More

Such a great suprise! For only $60/night for a basic room we received a very nice, clean, updated room with 24 hour/day security guard at the main entrance. The Tropix Bar was absolutely beautiful and very reasonably priced. The sports bar immediately next door was also a very nice atmosphere to relax and have a beer at any time of... More

THE ROOMS, stayed in two, the first was real nice and more economical, I knew I wasn't going to be there much so i picked it. Room 11 Perfect! Super clean, nice flat screen, WiFi very good.... More

I went to the Dunn Inn on the strength of hearing about it from other ex-pats and local homeowners in Guanacaste. My room which cost $79 a night (there was a misleading come on saying that rooms were available at $45 and I cringe to think how they must be) had NO outside window and NO airconditioning. It shared a... More

It seems that during a shake up in management and staff the atmosphere has changed.I'm not sure exactly what the direction is but hope that the local Tico... More

This was my second stay at the Dunn Inn and it is now my hotel of choice in San Jose. Nice rooms, quiet location and a great staff. Love the bar and food at Rick's Cafe. My only issue is the stability of the wireless Internet as I typically need to work when I am there. More

We traveled with three couples, ages 26-33, and decided on the Dunn Inn (via Trip Advisor) for our last night in Costa Rica after spending a week in Puerto Viejo. Although my first impression walking in the door was a positive one, I was immediately disappointed when I found out that they only had 2/3 of our reserved/confirmed rooms available,... More

Found the staff to be helpful. Spoke english very well. Nice bar. The room was very clean and the bed comfortable. As a person who spends more than 100 nights a year in hotels (my expectations are reasonable) I can say without reserve I'd stay at the Hotel Dunn Inn again. More
