Staff was friendly and.extremely helpful. We only stayed one night in between our flight in to San Jose and our trip the next day to Manuel Antonio. It was fine for a night but the beds were quite uncomfortable. The front desk clerk was as nice as could be and the breakfast was delicious

Overpriced

This hotel is in a convenient safe location and the staff are really nice and helpful. However, the place needs a complete overhall. Rooms are run down and very basic. Hardly any water coming from the shower and dark. Not worth $80 per night.
