We arrived late in the middle of the night. We were lost at first for where to go in the excellent parade, but then the attendant had our keys and parking spot ready, very easy and relaxing checking. Wonderful room, nice beds and furniture. Amazing.

The accommodations were absolutely beautiful and perfect for our stay. It was difficult to get in touch with the front desk with the information provided on hotels.com, but once there, the front desk went above and beyond. Rebecca was wonderful. The area with food trucks out front is great and the hotel shuttle to the airport was convenient.

This was the best place we stayed while in Costa Rica. It is a mini 1 bedroom apartment and was very clean and had all the up to date amenities that would be needed. We also went fishing in Quepos and needed a freezer and this apartment offered that to freeze our fish for the flight home. Would definitely stay here again next time I am in San Jose!

Awesome place for a quick getaway

Nice and quiet place to stay for a getaway weekend near everything. The place looks and feel modern while the location is great. The room can be on the warm side and the AC only works to cool the room but but nothing else.
