Unique, rustic hotel. Hostess was very friendly and helpful. Walkable distance from everything I wanted to experience. I would definitely go again. My only advice is to give door handle signs for when to clean and warn guests of the train so they can bring earplugs. Regardless I give them 4.8

Good for what you pay in San Jose
The owner and the staff are awesome. The room is excellent for what you pay. But the building is old and not renovated. The hotel is very secure. It has air conditioning and room cleaning every day. The cleaning staff is also very good. Thanks for mat the owner for welcoming guests with friendliness. I would like to stay again whenever I have a chance.

We had the lowest price room so I'm sure it is not an example of the entire hotel, that being said it was a fine room for the rate. Dinner at the restaurant was excellent, one of the best Tenderloins I have had in Costa Rica

A good hotel
The hotel was good and in a very good spot. There is NOT a free breakfast and NOT a free parking. You have to pay for your breakfast and pay to park your car.

I know this hotel and enjoyed it again, the only inconvenience is sitting right on the commuter rail line, I had a 6:30 am appointment so I knew that would not be a factor and the room rate was great

Budget value
Older building is why 3 stars. Great staff and helpful. Area is secure even at night for walking and has Sportsman bar/hotel a block away. Great value for budget minded person. There is a dermatology and foot doctor clinic around the corner on backside of hotel which I used. Hotel taxi to airport about 23 dollars.

Goodluck getting a goodnight sleep here...
Overall the hotel was pretty good but then night happens. They have a steakhouse/bar inhouse which stays open late and guests are as loud as they can be and none seems to get it under control. Major part is other guests being rude, disregarding others but hotel should also step in esp after midnight when people are being rowdy.
