"Worked fine for me - one night between flights..."

6.0

Close to SJO. free shuttle - although double check the day before your arrival that you are on the pickup list. My name got dropped somehow, taxi was $20 US one way.

Use modern wall plates to cover old, unused wall plugs. Looks tacky with the holes in the wall.

"Regadera sucia, sábanas sucias."

7.0

Que está cerca del aeropuerto y que te llevan gratis al aeropuerto.

Yo contraté cuarto compartido de 4 camas con mujeres. La ducha estaba sucia a pesar de que lo habían supuestame limpiado. No tienen vasos o algo para tomar agua. Ni tampoco toallas. Esas te pedían 1 dls por darte una.

"Good if you want something cheap and close to the airport."

7.0

Very close to the airport. Staff was kind, and it was cheap.

Not the cleanest, and not super comfy. But great value for money, and good if you just need one night near the airport.
