The staff was great, the hotel beautiful, but the door to my room wouldn’t easily latch, in fact I left my door unlatched, inadvertently when I first got there not realizing this defect.

What a disappointment it was to arrive at this dumpy hotel in a terrible neighborhood. One of my kids cried and asked if we could please leave! We had a small bite since we arrived in the evening and did not feel safe walking around in the neighborhood. We were charged 50 bucks for a small bite for the 3 of us. I’ve stayed at Radisson hotels all over the world. It’s hard to believe this hotel is a Radisson. Also travelers to Costa Rica beware. If you test positive for Covid the Ministry of Health will send you an order to remain in quarantine for 10 days at your own expense. When you get tested they get your passport number and keep you hostage in the country. This fraudulent practice is sure to keep travelers from coming here!!!!!

The staff were delightful, the highlight of our trip. They also strove to go above and beyond what is normally expected. The hotel is like a high end resort for a reasonable price.. The pool water was too cold for us but the hot tub was great. The beds were comfortable, the room large. The location was about a mile from downtown San Jose. Taxis very available.

Kind of a mixed bag on this one. The rooms are very nice and large with adjustable beds that are a nice touch. The property is clean and well maintained. But our room had an adjoining door to the next room that was far from soundproof. The last night a couple was arguing for hours and we heard every word. The breakfast is about the best we have ever had, truly outstanding. The room service food was mediocre at best, and very expensive. It had a fridge stuffed with over priced items, none of which we bought, but it did give us a place to put a few things in to keep cool. The pools are multi level and very nice...but far too cold to get in to, even kids could not withstand it. And then only one small hot tub that was busy most all the time so you could not use it. Not many chairs around the pool, so if it was truly busy, so I'm not sure how that would work. But it was nice to sit outside and read etc. as the hotel did not seem very busy. We were there during Christmas week so there were no business conferences or anything. As there are two floors that seem to be devoted to business conferences it is probably quite different sometimes. We did find some nice bars/restaurants in the area, but you need to be careful where you go around there. We could easily walk downtown from the location. But it was a mixed, or maybe developing area...and as the hotel advised I don't think you would want to walk off the property after dark. All in all, I'd rate it a solid 3 out of 5.
