You get what you pay for.

Pros: The staff are very friendly and honest. They provide great info about neighborhood and safe times. The room was spacious with a low couch and table with chair. TV was good with lots of channels. The bathroom had a modern elegant look. Cons: The hotel is old in the middle of a central San Jose's main market. During the day is ok to walk around but at night it could be dangerous for foreigners. Taxi would be the best way to get around at night. Thehotel has an old elevator that needs to warm up for about 5 min in order to be used. Its kept turned of to conserve energy. I used the stairs a lot because of it. The bed was big but not very comfortable. The bathroom was small with a large shower area but it had a sewer smell and could not get rid of it even with spray.

No me quedaría de nuevo en este hotel

El ascensor no funciona, hay que esperar hasta 5 minutos para que suba, Nunca nos funcionó, la razón que dan es que es muy viejito, este hotel es administrado por orientales, el jabón, shampoos son de marcas orientales de mala calidad, los paños prevén viejos y usados.
