Caro para lo que se ofrece

Un costo muy elevado para lo que ofrece el hotel. Las instalaciones quedan al lado de ma carretera principal por lo que se escucha mucho ruido. El personal es muy amable, pero el lugar está viejo y parece que no se le ha dado buen mantenimiento en los últimos años. El desayuno está bien pero no es un lugar oara disfrutar de instalaciones.

La habitación limpia y con baño privado ,muy cómoda , abanico de techo ,sin pantalla tv Lo único fueron los huéspedes de la habitación contigua , hablaban muy duro en horas de la madrugada , no dejaron descansar bien El hotel debería de tener una política de que los huéspedes después de cierta hora no hacer ruido , por consideración a los demás huéspedes

Decepción Total

Solicite si podía hacer un check in anticipado porque había viajado desde temprano y porque necesitaba bañarme ya que era mi cumpleaños y fue rechazado mi solicitud, cero flexibilidad, y muy apáticos para contestar,estamos en momentos difíciles los cuales considero deberían de ser un poco más flexibles y considerados...

Friendly staff, but overall wouldn’t recommend.

The basic room was pretty much an overpriced hostel. In fact, there are probably more amenities in a hostel compared to this hotel. We didn’t get fresh towels in the mornings, room was extremely humid and damp, and windows were just screens with no glass...we could hear the person in the next room snoring. The shower head was held together by a piece of electric tape. However, I do have to say that the staff was very friendly and helpful and breakfast was definitely a plus and the best we had in Costa Rica.
