This was a very nice hotel that is in an OK part of town. The hotel itself is amazing, the restaurant is very good. I stayed for a couple of nights because it was close to the airport. I would stay here again.

We had a 2 night trip in San Jose after “roughing it” for 2 weeks all over Costa Rica. We splurged on this place so we could get some good rest and we did! Also really liked the hot tub. We did not eat in the restaurant (very pricy) but found a wonderful cafe around the corner for breakfast. Would go back.
