Good place to start your trip
I stayed 2 nights, one in a private bath and one shared bath. The rooms are nice, lots of restaurants within 1-5 blocks, beautiful courtyard where they serve breakfast, generally helpful staff in an 80 year old Spanish style building. They were able to book a private tour to poas for me the following day at a very reasonable price - half the cost of listed package tours (tour recommended!) and they work with other groups too on day tours all over. Only negative is that it is a but noisy at night from the hallway/ courtyard as there is no AC so you need to keep your windows open to get some air.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
1. Hard to find and drive streets of Alejuela at night! WAZE app was useless. Many one way, narrow streets and the water flood channels are DEEP, dangerous and unforgiving. Scary neighborhood especially asking directions after dark. 2. Hotel is one step above youth Hostel. No room insulation. Door are not bolted or secure. Dark dingy, old, creaky wood hotel. 3. Noisy! Room doors adjoin hallway reception area. You will know when every guest checks in/out and walks down hallway. 4. No onsite parking. You have to drop off luggage then go park your car. Scetchy after dark. Repeat to check out.PITA and expensive! We paid $12 :( 5. Free breakfast is like a snack. Maybe 1.5 scrabled eggs. No seconds. You will need to eat again in an hour. 6. Initially, booked reservation for first/last day to be convenient to airport. BTW, this is 20 min from San Jose airport--not convenient at all. As soon as I saw sparten, basic room, I tried to cancel last day (9daysaway). My friend spoke Spanish, and we were unable to clearly understand if he canceled. Expedia is still showing and won't let me cancel. 7. Back to rooms. I couldnt believe the room had no A/C! No table or outlet next to bed. Expect to walk across room to use charging phone. Bathroom has no room/shelf for personal toiletries. Stupid! I am not an ugly American. I do not expect much especially when looking for budget rooms. But, I feel compelled to write honestly about Aljuela City Hotel. Any review higher than 3 stars is delusional.

Staff are lovely. Unfortunately the busy street, lack of parking, noise inside the hotel from breakfast being swrved right outside our room and the cleanliness of the room really diminished our experience and impression. It wasn’t quite what I expected. Would have likely just done something closer to the airport.

We had to stay one night near the airport. Great value. Very clean. We had to use a shared bathroom that could use some updating, but again very clean. Room was compact but very comfortable. Plus it included breakfast. Which was delicious. Staff was very helpful in finding transportation and recommendations. Cute little courtyard inside. Would recommend.

Convenient location near the airport, really helpful and friendly customer service they went above and beyond to get us transportation to the next city that we were heading to. We came back the last day and they storage our suitcases while we went around town because our flight was at midnight and they allow us to use the installations to take a shower and provide us with towels for a small fee. The day that we stayed there we got a room with it’s own bathroom, but it is also a great place for solo or bigger groups that get to share the bathrooms and shower really clean and comfortable.
