Nice hotel and good surrounding areas with some restaurants and a small playground on site. Very convenient but the room was pretty average, the floors felt like they had layers of soap and were still dirty. Overall decent, just not extremely clean in the room for the price.

Can’t say enough of how enjoyable this last business trip was. This property is a newer modern hotel that was very close to the Airport. There on site conference rooms came in handy for an unscheduled meeting. The Starbucks and food court onsite was convenient when I didn’t have time to dine in one of their excellent restaurants. My Spanish is not great but that didn’t matter as the entire staff including the 24/7 security people all spoke fluent English, they even had the NBA finals games on it the lounge, anyway will always book there from now on if I have to come back to San Jose.

It’s all always great here. We’ve used this hotel many times both coming and leaving Costa Rica and there could not be a complaint. The place is always spotless. Smells great staff are friendly and they are there to help you but not to be obtrusive. We will use them every time.
