I normally stay at the Parque del Largo, a smaller boutique hotel, which is also closer to where I work when I am in CR, but it was full so had to stay here a few nights. It's a seedy hotel, made even more so by a 24 hour casino, and it's not convenient to the town, you have to... More

An average stay in a basic hotel in San Jose. Service with hotel and restaurant staff were good, rooms clean but showing it's age, sleeping was fine except for the transients off property within ear shot; ask for a street room. The casino off the main lobby was a bit odd for the hotel size, didn't see too many playing... More

What a nice surprise: I was not happy when our OAT tour switched our first night stay to this hotel at the last minute. I read the reviews and even e-mailed the company. However, my husband and I found this to be a great "find." Our room was large with a sitting area that had sofa and chairs, which looked... More

We stayed for 3 nights and found this to be fantastic value and ambience in the retaurant. The staff could not do enough for us and most were fluent in English. It was walking distance to downtown but away from the overpacked night time crowds in the city center. The restaurant has an outdoor patio which gives a European feel... More

This is in No way a quality place to stay. It is located Over the hill from town in a darkly lit area. This hotel is in an area that you do not walk anywhere. Aside from that, The hotel only has finger food room service until10:00 and if you want something to eat you need to take a cab... More

Not sure why our travel agent recommended this place. It is in sad need of an Extreme Makeover... peeling wallpaper, water stains, etc. And the clientele was a bit questionable at the late hour we checked in. Included breakfast was average. Overall service was slow and somewhat incompetent. More

The hotel is in a great location, but the bed was hard and the pillows were harder. The towels and linens were old, gray, and not fluffy in the least. The view was the tops of tin roofs. The ceiling was made of those loose, drop in tiles, and they would flap up and down in some spots when a... More
