We were really disappointed with our stay. Staff were very unhelpful. Hallways not clean. Given a room with a view of garbage cans and gas tanks. Another guest arrived on a red eye at 10 am and was told her room would not be ready until 2pm! Far from airport. Very limited ameneties, not even conditioner or enough towels. Will not stay here again

I’m reading this. Hotel is good because if you’re into a basic hotel with a clean, comfortable bed, but without the thrills and without nice touches such as bottled water in the rooms, real coffee, mugs, or even a glass available in a room, and a better breakfast this is not your hotel. But the location is great and you’re able to walk to one of my favorite breakfast and lunch locations in all of San Jose. I would stay here again if it was the right price, but there are other hotels close by at similar rates that are just a little bit nicer.

I checked out before breakfast was served. The hotel was conveniently located with plenty of restaurants and shops around it. The room was spacious and clean, and the bed was comfortable. Getting here by Uber from the airport took 1 hr due to traffic congestions in the late afternoon. But going to the airport in the early morning hour (before 6 am) took only 15 min. Overall, it was a nice stay and the hotel and room condition are as one would expect of a Holiday Inn Express.

The hotel staff were unfriendly and did not know any English making check-in difficult. They have complementary coffee and they did not. They only had coffee with breakfast. The only things that we didn’t enjoy were the beds and the gym was decent, but the pool was not that nice. If we return to Costa Rica, we would not stay here again.
