Decent stay
The hotel was good. Pretty Clean and safe. Had all ammenitied and the staff was friendly. However if you are visiting Costarica to enjoy the nature and do some adventure activities, SanJose is not the place.
Decent stay
The hotel is in a great location. The staff was very professional and accommodated all our requests. I would recommend taking the city tour, the coffee plantation tour and a 4/5-in-one tour. If you are looking for places to eat away from the city center the concierge recommended two places to us that were great and very reasonably priced--The Jazz Cafe in Escazu, very nice, small and they have live entertainment. There is a cover charge of 5. The other is an Italian restuarant in San Pedro, sorry I forgot the name--the pizza was simply great. For shopping I would recommend the mall in Escazu. I would not recommend a rental car as driving in San Jose can be challenging. The taxi service is reliable and cost effective.
What a great treat?
A great value for the money. Close to museums, national theater, and pedestrian street for shopping or browsing. We really liked the fitness center on the 7th floor and the hot tub/sauna/spa outside on the 8th, with a great view of the city! We're not sure why this space is used on a reservation basis (but no cost) rather than having it available to all guests, but I guess it would be nice to have your own private spa area! Breakfast was good...we had fruit, coffee, and some breads...they were also making eggs cooked to order. My only suggestion would be for them to put some local information in the rooms. The room was large and clean. I'd stay there again.
Everyone at the hotel was friendly and helpful - most spoke English. We felt safe and were able to feel and hear the rhythm of the city. The concierge was helpful in arranging great tours. The breakfast was included and excellent. The evening dining was good too. It was an easy walk to get to several museums. The rooms were recently refurbished and clean. We would definitely stay there again, it was a great value for the money.
The hotel is in the center of the city, just steps away from the local market. The hotel bar is a hot spot for people watching. The hotel staff were very helpful and helped me figure out the best day trips to take based on my travel itinerary. As a woman traveling by myself to a city where all I heard about was how cautious I must be, I found the hotel to be quite safe. The hotel as a whole was very clean and my individual room seemed pretty modetn and was also clean.
What a great treat? The hotel, room and staff were all wonderful and we had delightful stay. The hotel also offered a nice buffet breakfast included in the room price.
