Nice "hotel" but some initial teething problems
Our check-in was rushed because the receptionist's shift finished around 30 minutes after we had arrived. As such, we weren't the most confident with the security gate (which malfunctioned for us, but was quickly rectified via WhatsApp). They also claimed that we had not paid for the reservation, when we had, but that was, again, quickly rectified by Expedia. There is generally no staff on site but safety was never a concern once the gate was fixed for us, though had there been no receptionist available when we arrived, check-in would have been a nightmare (as was the case for a later guest who tried checking in during our stay here). The location and the room itself was great (the lodge lies on the Main Street in Fortuna), so I would probably stay again now that I am familiar with everything.

Great stay! Parking was gated which made us feel safe. Owners were super sweet, welcoming, humble and made sure we had everything we needed. The pillows were great. Overall definitely recommend and would stay here again for a short or long trip!

If you are in La Fortuna and want to stay in location that is central to the restaurants, banks and grocery store this is the place for you. The rooms are clean the beds are comfortable and the shower has plenty of pressure and hot water. Israel at the front desk is INCREDILY helpful in scheduling excursions or recommending a restaurants. the rooms all had small refrigerators microwaves and hot plates. There was silverware and cups available. I can not recommend this place enough five stars in my book.

Fantastic property! Walking distance to downtown! I wanted something inexpensive and clean and Coati was the best. I stayed at another property my 1st two nights and paid twice as much (it was a little closer in the main downtown), but I wish I would have stayed the whole time at Coati! Hot water in the shower, clean floors, a kitchenette, sitting area/futon and comfortable bed with clean white sheets. Very enjoyable!

Extremely noisy location due to traffic and dogs by the property. Alarms went off at business next door and continued throughout the night. Stays at other big city downtown locations had much less noise than this property. Internet did not work in our room. We were told to go outside down the hall to connect. Parking in gated area was good, but you could not get to your room without going through 2 gates (parking lot and stairs). Stair lock was hard to open and took multiple tries. We have traveled extensively and have never given any business a bad review until now.

Awesome deal and stay
The whole place was a great place to stay and a bargain. It was a great peace of mind to have the gated parking lot that we had access to on our phones. The room was spacious and also outfitted with everything we needed. We also loved how it was only a short walk from the main downtown of La Fortuna. Would definitely stay again!
