Decent for nearby airport stays

Decent stay right near the airport. They offer a good breakfast and late check in. The price is very reasonable. I had a basic room with a shared bath. Everything was clean. Beware there are many steps up/ down the hallway to/ from the bath. The pool is very small but ok for a quick jump to wake up or cool off.

We stayed 1 night at Casa Tago Hotel before continuing with out trip the next day. The host of the hotel was very helpful and provided valuable insights regarding which taxis to take from SJO airport and offered help in finding a suitable and reliable transportation for the rest of our trip. The rooms are not very spacious (no closet), but very tidy and are equipped with a wall-mounted fan (no a/c) and come with a private bathroom with a shower. The beds are cozy and have the right size for 2 adults.

This was our 4th visit to Costa Rica. We love this country. Prevously our experiences with the hotels were always positive. However, this hotel was probably the worst one i ever stayed in. I only gave it 2 stars because the staff was friendly and helpful. Otherwise it was a disaster. The room smelled terrible and the windows wouldn't open. The neighborhood is unsafe to say the least. Our bathroom door somehow got locked from inside and we couldn't use it till morning In the morning a hotel employee came with a hammer and a huge knife and broke open the door. Overall, its shabby, dirty and uncomfortable. Would not recommend to anybody.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I was really disappointed with this hotel. My room was not much bigger than the bed, with a window the size of a small pizza box so it was very stuffy. The bed had only one sheet - no blanket - and the bedside lamp didn't work. The shared bathroom was dirty and had no soap. I partly chose this hotel because it claimed to have parking and a good breakfast. I arrived at night and there were no parking spaces left, so was instructed to drive to a parking garage -I had to walk 2 blocks back to the hotel by myself at night. The breakfast was meager - three tiny pieces of fruit and a grilled ham and cheese sandwich. I have never written a bad review, but I can't let this experience pass. I definitely do not recommend Casa Tago.

This was a great place to stay for a night after arriving from a late flight. Safe parking. Staff was very nice. Breakfast & coffee were delicious. The manager said that Expedia hasn’t been notifying them of Expedia reservations. So our room with a private bath wasn’t available, but we were able to stay in a room w a shared bath. I don’t fault the hotel for this, as they said they asked Expedia to pause all reservations until it was resolved & they are continuing to book.
