Everyone was very nice and the complimentary breakfast was good, but the path to my room on the first floor was dark and had a humid smell. The room itself also smelled humid. I understand this was because of the pool, but it could use better ventilation.

Do not stay here. It is loud, uncomfortable and the worst night stay I’ve had in decades. Our room was by the lobby and you could hear people all night. The room smelled of mold, was dirty and run down. They didn’t offer any upgrades as an Expedia VIP. The staff were nice but couldn’t help with any places to go or eat. Neighborhood was very sketchy and not comfortable to go out. It was a waste of a day in SJO. The pool wasn’t as nice as described and there was nothing for us to do before catching our flight. We didn’t sleep at all on our last night of our trip. Terrible way to end a beautiful vacation. Never, ever again!! Absolutely terrible experience. We will stay the extra night in La Fortuna next trip and drive in early. I won’t make this mistake again.
