Recent San Jose Hotel Reviews By Fellow Wanderers
Hotel was nice and pleasant , defiantly look to see if they have one at my next place of travel. Disliked the fact that room service wasn’t open all night however . Don’t know if it was because that’s how they do it at the country I visited but other then that it was great everyone was freindly .
The property is centrally located for a great time in Escazu.
Great find (& proximal to ‘business’ part of town) I
