Hotels.com failure

I did not stay. I was unable to arrange transport from airport even after calling, I took a taxi. I refused to stay because it is located in an unsavory area, looked like a regular house with fences--looked dangerous. Unable to contact Hotels.com for help; unable to cancel. Had taxi take me to a safe hotel where I felt safe.

Room with no window about the size of a king size bed. Hard to find no signage. With help of neighbours were able to find address but it took a while to get host to respond, ended up we were standing out front still unsure of location. Found out we were given wrong room, as another guest was also confused .

Un buen lugar para pasar una noche al llegar o salir al aeropuerto. Debe mejorar su rotulación ya que ea difícil de encontrar. Podrían añadir aire ya que solo cuenta com ventilador y no tiene ventana aunque estuvo fresca la noche.

Hotel conveniente

El hotel está en un lugar conveniente para viajeros que vuelan muy tarde o muy temprano. Es económico y se siente seguro. Sin embargo encontramos una gran cantidad de moscos dentro del cuarto, lo que nos dificultó dormir.

Bare bones, but the room was clean and the bed comfortable. There was bottled water in the room and a hot shower (which in Costa Rica is not always a given). I was pleased, too, that they did come pick me up at the airport even though my plane arrived after stated shuttle hours.

The proximity to the airport, the price, the airport shuttle service is what brought me in to put my money down. This place is very clean very quiet and I would stay here again. The next time I come through.

The room was clean and quiet sufficient for our short stay. There is a fair amount of traffic noise, which was workable. The main problem was the pair of barking dogs also staying in the building. They barked loudly every 30-60 minutes all night long. It was not a restful night of sleep for us and would likely deter us from returning.

Lille værelse, dårlig lufthavnstransport

Meget lille værelse, så ret dyrt for hvad det er. Det var meget varmt. Der var 2 fans, men den ene duede ikke rigtig så kun 1 ud af 4 senge kunne få ventilation. De havde givet os den forkerte kode til døren, så vi kunne ikke komme ind. Heldigvis havde vi netværk og kunne kontakte dem på whatsapp. Det værste var dog lufthavnstransporten. Den kom 15 minutter for sent, kørte virkelig råddent og da vi ankom til lufthavnen sagde han at vi skulle skynde os at tage vores bagage ud nu, fordi der var politi? Rimelig skummel type.
