If you have no other option.

Poorly cleaned room. The pictures online are not a true depiction of the place. If you want to be close to the hotel and not bother with a commute, then it's worth the stay. If not, then there is no need.

SCAM.

This was a terrible place! Firstly, it's a home, not a hotel. It's in the middle of a suburban neighborhood. There is no signage. I showed up and the place was CLOSED. Finally a "staff member" in his PJs came out and said his mom was asleep. Urged that we sign in (even though there was literally no one there) and showed us our rooms. When we saw the poor state and discovered that one of the rooms didn't even lock from the outside, we left the keys and booked elsewhere. FURTHER, when I requested a refund for the night that I DIDN'T STAY in the hotel, they rejected the request. Scam hotel.

Expected more

This is a very mediocre hotel for the area, there are much better options for a little bit more money. The facilities are not kept well, there is no parking, it is in a residential area, there is no staff (only the owners in pijamas). It all just feels wrong.

Convenient and clean hotel

This hotel was clean. All we wanted was quick access to the local fun things, clean beds and a hot shower which it had. The WiFi didn't really work for us but many local restaurants had free WiFi so we used it there. For the price we would stay there again. We have four kids and we often have a hard time finding places big enough for all of us. Our room had three queen beds and air conditioning as well.

Private Beach!!

I came to Costa Rica with my best friend and this was our last stop on our adventure. It was perfect - away from everything, we had the beach to ourselves and was able to relax. We rented boogie boards ($12) which was a great way to enjoy the beach. If you're looking for a secluded resort - this is the place!! On a side note I booked this hotel because it came up when I searched Manuel Antonio - this hotel is NOT in Manuel Antonio. If you don't have a car I would recommend arranging transportation in advance. At all the other places we stayed the staff provided us many transportation options - the only option at this hotel was a taxi. We were quoted $150 to San Jose and when we arrived the cab charged us $190 (was our first bad experience with a cab driver). This is a perfect place if you have a car!!

Bonito, Limpio, Seguro, Comodo and priced well.

Pedro and Anita were very accommodating during our (3 family member) 5 night stay at Hotel Puerta del Sol. Shopping (for groceries and otherwise) at the Cariari Mall nearby was available. The hotel is near the airport and the room was very clean and comfortable. The A/C worked perfectly although was not really necessary at this time of year in the Costa-Rican Central Valley. The amply sized room had a wide variety of cable channels a ceiling fan as well. The Hard Rock Cafe was nearby too! Hotel Puerta del Sol is priced in a manner that is proper, unlike some of the hotels in the San Jose vicinity. I recommend the hotel wholeheartedly. Pura Vida!

I is very close to the bus stop for going into San Jose central. A short ride to the airport. the hotel is in a very quite neighborhood. the owner is hands on. The pool is clean and nice temperature and the grounds are very well kept. This is the 2 nd time I have stayed and will go back again.

Need to improve on the service...

The hotel pictures are true but the real thing is not as nice. The room was not nice... the bathroom roof was rotting because of the humidity. The room service was terrible. I get a call that if a want room cleaning I said yes and she said please leave the room now... and I said give me 20 minutes to get dressed and she said no it has to be now... then i said no thank you. They did not do any effort to really give the service. I do not recommend this hotel only if you want to save some money.
