The bathroom in the room need renovation since it not functional and extremely old. Also don't expect hot water for your shower between 10AM and 4pm since they shut it down during that time. It also a little bit noisy due that you are on the corner two major roads. So overall if I had to go back to La Fortuna I would choose another hotel.

Downtown central location, not a lot of amenities, but you are welcome to use the pool at a sister property about 3 blocks away which was nice! Ignacio, Joy, and Diane were all great at the front desk! Ignacio took a lot of his time to help me book an ziplines excursion, and Diane helped me call the shuttle company when my shuttle was late. Great people, would definitely return!

Great location in this city. Can use updating. Didn’t like the rodent I heard in the walls as I was trying to sleep. The front desk did allow a room change.

Hotel was well situated and in walking distance of everything in La Fortuna. The room was comfortable but basic with small tv only showing Spanish channels. Wifi was free but spotty.

Room window next to busy street
The staff and location were great. However our room was located on a busy street and I was kept up at night by the sounds of loud traffic. You you could ensure you did not stay in a room like this, you may have a better experience.

I paid for basic accommodations and that's what I got; except for the first day when the whole hotel was without AC. At least it seemed to be a rare occurrence.

Helpful and informative
Helpful and friendly front desk staff, concierge was very informed and helpful. They made suggestions based on what we wanted to do versus promoting spots that they had deals with. Definitely recommend based on the service and the room did the trick for one night stay.

Check in was at 2pm but we were given our rooms at 3:15pm, as they weren’t ready upon our arrival. It is a good hotel but its location makes it a little noisy, having 2 main La Fortuna streets surrounding it.

Excellent location!
Excellent location and having a restaurant for breakfast was convenient. New staff were in training but did a great job for being new. Waitress was superb! Noise from restaunt chairs dragging at night can be annoying if you are a light sleeper. I would stay again.

I liked how they helped us out with a booking error their system had, they relocated us to a more expensive place for the same price, only that it was far from the main town and did not offer food at any hour so we spent money going back and forth.
