"Excellent"

8.0

The owner was very friendly and helpful, the hotel is simple, but has some kind of originality, which also helps to create a feeling of adventure. The location is great, just steps away from downtown.

"History and Service"

8.0

We like staying in historical places and this one was great. Management was great as was the breakfast. We were on a room next to the street so it was noisy compared to our jungle home in Las Tumbas. The owner was very nice and spent time with us at breakfast. Bed could have been a little softer seems like I could feel the strings.

"An old inn, funky too, near Downtown "

6.0

The Hemingway Inn is a very old hotel. It's value is the architecture and the fact it is so close to Downtown, easily within walking distance. If you are looking for an upscale place, this is not it. The entire place could use a scrub down, and repairs and "TLC" here and there. That said, we enjoyed our stay. The room was clean enough. The morning breakfast was good. Note: I did see that parking is offered and note that it is not a secure lot. You park on the street. Also, a surprise to us, prostitution is legal in Costa Rica and we arrived to the hotel late (after 10:30 p.m.). Along the streets leading to the Inn, you will see women at work. Initially, we thought the Inn must be a flop house in a seedy neighborhood. It's really not. We had entered a different cultural norm.

"Hemingway Inn San Jose Costa Rica"

2.0

I have always had good luck with the El Maragato in San Jose, and have gotten my overall trip scheduled with Orbitz.com and have recommended using your services to many many others. This hotel was a complete disappointment and after seeing the room simply could not stay there. I went across the street and booked my week at the Don Carlos which was very nice and I would highly recommend it. The Hemingway was poorly lighted, dirty, throughout, and I simply could not have stayed there. I did not feel I could have done anything more than come back to you with a request for some reimbursement as the stay at the Don Carlos was an additional cost of $425.99. Can I be reimbursed for this stay in lieu of your recommendation?
