Guest Reviews
- Charles (10/5): - A
- Jose (10/5): - Nice hotel
- Lauren (10/5): Great stay in San Jose - This was our first trip to this hotel and we had a very good experience. The staff was attentive and cordial, the hotel was clean and the price was right.
- Ginger (10/5): - We have stayed here many times. The rooms are secure and clean. The breakfast includes an array of delicious food. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay here again and recommend to family and friends.
- Syrilyn (8/5): - The breakfast was great, and the rooms were clean and spacious. However, the pool is an outdoor pool, located in full view of a conference area (which were going on for most of our stay). There is also a "hot" tub, but it is only heated by the sun (during the day), so there really isn't one. Also, the hotel has plenty of placards stating that they're eco-friendly - to please leave towels on the racks and they won't change them, etc, but despite me leaving them on the racks, they changed them (and the sheets). Then the following day I left a message for housekeeping to NOT change sheets and towels, and they still changed them. All in all, this is a wonderful hotel a few blocks from a main thoroughfare with plenty of shops and restaurants. Just know that your sheets and towels will be changed regardless of what any sign says.
- Wendy (10/5): -
- HONGJING (6/5): - Not to good, not to bad. Just stay one night
- Charles (10/5): - Great
- Ethan (10/5): - Great rooms great breakfast, I would stay again.
- Virginia (8/5): - Very nice hotel with big rooms and comfortable bed. Staff was welcoming and helpful. Food wasn’t great.
- Minh (6/5): - None
- Magdalena (2/5): - Cockroaches all over the room. I’ve never experienced anything like that although I’ve stayed in many places all around the world. Cockroach was even on the pillow my daughter slept on.
- Alexander (10/5): - I stayed at this property when it was The Park Inn by Radisson. It is a very clean, safe hotel. The staff is personable, and I don't recommend walking from downtown after dark.
- goodguyjas (8/5): Good quality city hotel. Now known as the D Sabana Hotel. No longer Radisson. Still the same inside. - Now called the D Sabana Hotel. Still looks the same inside when it was Park Radisson. Typical smart looking city hotel. Good facilities with small bar and restaurant area. Bottled beer is top price but expected for the place. Breakfast was a good selection of hot and cold. Gift shop and tour booking place. Liked the outside pool area but water was mega cold. A little jacuzzi was warmer. Very good medium sized gym too. Room was nice and big. Quite plain decor but clean and modern. Loved the shower, highly invigorating. My room had good view of town and hills in the background. Location has a number of fast food places nearby plus a few restaurants. Could do with a nearby bar or cocktail venue. About 35 minute walk to the main town area. Staff were helpful and pleasant.
- OakhurstGlos (8/5): A typical city hotel - City Hotel, easy check in, friendly staff, usual increased price for bottled beers, but this was expected, clean rooms, excellent buffet style breakfast, small swimming pool on third floor, all in all a happy experience, would stay there again if visiting.
- sianjones284 (8/5): Comfortable, restful stay - This hotel was our first stop in Costa Rica after landing, and was perfect after a long flight. We had a clean, spacious room (two double beds for two people) and big bathroom with amenities provided. The bed was really comfortable and the room had a nice view over San Jose. We didn't use many of the hotel amenities downstairs but we did order room service and the food was very good quality. The hotel was doing some renovation work but we were never disrupted by this. Overall a really good stay.
- Angel57 (8/5): Good base at the start of a trip in Costa Rica - We enjoyed our 2 night stay at Park Inn, now rebranded as D Sabano. We had room 1107 which was clean, very spacious & had a walk in shower plus a view to the distant mountains. The pool area was small but looked nice,unfortunately we didn't get time to use it. Breakfast was good with a fair selection. You can walk into town from the hotel , they will provide you with a map. We had intended to walk in on our last afternoon but the traffic was gridlocked & we didn't get back to the hotel in time after our trip to Poas. I wouldn't walk in after dark. Only niggle was our key card failed a couple of times necessitating a trip down to reception.
- Yorktravels (8/5): A comfortable stay - The Park Inn is a comfortable but not glamorous base for your arrival in Costa Rica. Breakfast is OK and there is a bar which was welcomed after a long flight. Rooms were clean and comfortable. There are restaurants nearby if required. We used the Argentinian steakhouse which is less that 10 mins away which was good. There is not a lot else in the area but the hotel is a decent base to start or end your Costa Rican tour.
- Yatinkumar (8/5): - Hotel is excellent with friendly service from all staff members. On-site restaurant is a good alternative to eating out. Food quality was acceptable.
- D8TEterryh (8/5): Good hotel - Room 1102. Serviced by two lifts. Lovely view of City and mountains. Spacious and light room with super king sized bed. Sliding door to large bathroom with walk in rain shower. Safe in room. Sufficient storage space for our stay. Bar closed at 11. Reception small but friendly. Air con not overly effective. Breakfast was basic but acceptable. Housekeeping ok. Mini Bar and fridge. Lunch /Dinner in restaurant is very tasty and good size portions. Stayed for 2 nights. Subsequently we stayed here for one night in Room 414. Not decorated as recently as previous room.
- Verified traveler (6/5): D Sabana Hotel - Overall I would say the hotel is comfortable but pretty basic for the price. Staff were very friendly and incredibly helpful. Rooms were clean but frill free. Breakfast was a little lacking. It's about 20mins from airport by taxi.
- jackiemI4259GV (10/5): Great city hotel - To be honest we weren’t expecting much from our first couple of nights in Costa Rica - but we were very pleasantly surprised! Great city hotel, easy walk to centre. Gluten free options for breakfast, a pool, large rooms with views and a comfy bed. Ideal for a couple of nights in San Jose before and/or after a tour.
- Trevor (10/5): Great hotel - Great hotel in San Jose for an overnight stay before our domestic flight to tortuguero - didn’t have chance to use the pool but great additional facility
- markkot998 (6/5): Typical Radisson - It is a typical Radisson hotel similar to ones you can see in Europe. Just maybe needs a little bit renovation. Breakfast was very good and I especially liked that there was a pool area. There’s a nice souvenier shop in the hotel and you can order your tours there.
- Cristiano (8/5): Almost great. Definitely worth going to. - Modern and still undergoing some refurb. Rooms are modern and spacious but the aircon is loud and has a bright LED screen. Not being able to flush the toilet paper is interesting to say the least.
- Tara (10/5): - This was a pleasant stay. The staff was very helpful and kind. I am an English speaker and the staff made every effort to make me feel welcomed. They serve a hearty breakfast.
- Compass18759505133 (4/5): Dismal - Stayed here at the beginning and end of excellent holiday in costa rica. Your company booked this- strong advice don’t do it. Rooms ok but reception staff (male) off hand. Breakfast really poor buffet— staff ignored- set our own table. Food selection very limited and had to toast bread to make edible. Small swimming pool but no sun. Not even close to airport. Bar very expensive- £10 a pint of lager. Dining room reminiscent of prison visiting room.
- John (10/5): An enjoyable and relaxing stay in San Jose - A relaxing an enjoyable stay at the Park Inn. The room allocated was spacious, comfortable and very clean (cleaned every day). The hotel had a nice swimming pool area and gym which I used each day. The gym was well equipped. The breakfast provided by the hotel was nice but not a lot of variety (I had breakfast 5 days). A ate in the restaurant on 2 evenings and the food was very nice. All of the staff I encountered were very friendly, helpful and professional.
- Richard (6/5): - Getting picked up at the airport was a very nice service. The room was nice but there was no hot water for shower or sink and after a long travel day I needed a hot shower.
- Discover809456 (8/5): Laundry service details - See photo for price list and timing details as of January 2025. No service on Sundays or holidays. In by 10 AM, returned 6-8 PM same day. In after 11 AM, returned 6-8 PM following day. Short walk to large grocery store (Supermercado Avenida 10) and an excellent restaurant (inside Hotel Grano De Oro).
- marshap1919 (6/5): An Average Place To Stay - We stayed here for two nights as part of a Saga / Titan tour. The hotel is in a quiet area, We arrived after dark and there was hardly anyone walking the streets, or cars etc, so I wouldn't fancy walking around after dark. Our room number 605. The room itself is a good size. The floor is wood / lino and needed a good clean. The bed was comfortable, the pillows quite hard. The air con was noisy. The towels were mostly frayed at the edges and had seen better days. No flannels provided. Soap and shampoo are provided in dispensers. The shower did not work very well and the replacement part had to be ordered in. Body lotion is in a small tube by the sink which has no plug. Toilet paper has to go in a bin next to the toilet, (we have found this to be the same in every hotel we have stayed in). The room has a decent size tv, but no English speaking channels that we could find. Wi-fi was good. There was an easy chair, footstool and side table in the room, both the chair and footstool needed a good clean. There is a fridge and mini bar and snacks available to purchase. But we went to the supermarket about at 10 minute walk away which was much cheaper. Breakfast had very little choice - the hot options were scrambled eggs, sausages in tomato sauce, rice and beans - the cold options were cereal, fruit, cakes, bread, rolls, cheese. There was cold water and or juice to drink. Coffee was also available, although someone said you had to pay for it, but I'm not sure about that as we didn't have any. Would I choose to stay here, not sure I would. We had a welcome dinner one evening which was very tasty, we couldn't serve ourselves and when someone asked for extra meat they were told no. The pool area has four sun loungers, and some easy chairs. If you want towels you ask for them at reception downstairs and they get brought up to you.
- Carrot74 (6/5): Didn’t quite live up to its 4 star rating. - This hotel was a bit of a disappointment and certainly didn’t meet my expectations of a four-star hotel. It lacked the attention to detail that other four-star hotels in Costa Rica did better. For example, there was no complimentary water in the rooms, the pool was lovely but no towels were provided, and the prices of items in the shop were prohibitively expensive. I guess it’s a choice between paying or walking to the nearest supermarket, but after a long day of travel, we chose simplicity—and paid a lot for it.
- Pamela (10/5): - Perfect location, clean and friendly customer service. Breakfast was always delicious and it is in walking distance to everything
- Edward (8/5): - Good location
- Deborah (10/5): Nice stay - Very nice reception! Excellent staff
- marangely (10/5): - .
- Jorge (10/5): - Had a great stay
- duanes466 (10/5): Check in - We have stayed there before and really enjoyed it When we checked in we didnt have a reservation. I had paperwork but not a confirmation....my fault. However the agent could see from my paperwork that I tried to get the reservation at $93.19, but since I'm old and apparently didn' hit the confirm button she charge me $141.26 It was my fault but I'm old...we went from Airport to Park Inn, we didn't just walk in off the street. At lease she could have split the differecne
- chendra (8/5): - improve housekeeping guys, in 6 days never had my bed made. yes yes i was there with the sign on the door, sometimes but 6 days?
- Máté (6/5): - Good for a day if you are in San Jose, but there are better accommodations than this. Only picked as it was close to the bust station we needed to be at the next day.
- Terence (10/5): - Just used as a stop off while arriving in Costa Rica . The hotel is fine for a night or 2 big rooms, clean and nice breakfast . The property isn’t luxury but that being said was very suitable for 1 night and parking is free.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Unpleasant experience! - Do not book with this hotel! Hidden fees and staff unhelpful! Bait & switch tactics with guests and would not refund booking even though I refused to stay at property.
- Jose (10/5): - buena locación cerca de Paseo Colon, excelente por si necesitas hospedarte cerca de esa zona
- nanju (10/5): Pleasant stay - We enjoyed our stay during dec 28 and 29th. After our stay we came back to San Jose and since our flight was at 2 am, management at the front desk was very courteous and we were able to leave our luggage while we went out for few hours. Food was great.
- Peter (10/5): - Wonderful staff and great overall hotel
- Shoham (10/5): - Great hotel. Location is okay
- K1529UFcolint (4/5): Rudest receptionist EVER! - On check-in the rude receptionist (didn't get his name) told me that I had to leave my Credit Card as it was "Hotel Policy". After explaining that I didnt want to leave it he he was very rude and condescending. The worst receptioist I have ever encountered in 42 years of working in the travel industry. My room was pre paid and I did not intend to purchase anything by card, which I explained to him not that he listened. I asked to speak to the Manager, he said that there wasn't one. He then made me wait 40 minutes until he took the bottes of water and bars of chocolate out of the room in case I used them. I'd tried to explain that I wasn't aware of "Hotel Policy" and it wasn't a local law but he wouldnt listen. As I said when I started this review, the rudest receptionist I've ever met. Shame as the rest of the staff were great.
- CHICKENPARM41 (8/5): Satisfactory Stay in San Jose - Park Inn San Jose Costa Rica Stayed here 3 different times during a single Gate 1 Tour of Costa Rica. We stayed here before our tour began, in the middle of our tour and after our tour was over. It is a very decent hotel in a not so great area. You have to walk on broken sidewalks, riddled with holes and cracks, just to go 6-plus blocks to get to any stores or restaurants. At night, it doesn’t appear safe to be walking around anywhere around the hotel. Ubers, do work very well in the area. There is a local flee market nearby on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Room was very nice. We had two Queen beds. They were very comfy. TV had mostly kid’s shows and soccer. There were plenty of soap and shampoo dispensers in the bathroom. Shower was good. There was a safe in the room. Plenty of closet space, with many hangars, an iron and an ironing board. The towels were nice and fluffy. Room seemed to be quiet enough if you are on a higher floor. On the tenth floor, you don’t hear a lot of street noise, but on the fourth floor, you do. There was noise from the adjoining room, which came right through the “shared” door between the two rooms. I’ve heard coughs, yawns and farts, as well as two wake up calls at 4 am, during one of the nights. Front desk clerks were very helpful with information about local restaurants and directions. There are two elevators that worked pretty well. You have to place your key card to the reader to get to your floor. The pool was a nice size and seemed very nice. There are plenty of large meeting rooms. Breakfast missed the mark. Plain scrambled eggs is what I ate every morning. I was not crazy about the rice and beans, sausage and potatoes they offered. I love great Spanish food, but not for breakfast. Bread was tasteless, which is probably a good thing since I would probably eat too much of it, as well as any desserts or cookies, which also missed the mark. Coffee was good, but the cups were too small. I had to get up 4 times to get coffee and I usually just drink a mug a day at home. They did however, have the best tasting pineapple I ever had in my life. Where the heck were the bananas? Service in the bar area was good, in the dining area I didn’t think it was so great. Workers weren’t very personable, even after you greet them. Hotel did not give any complimentary bottles of water, luckily I got some from my tour bus. It was a very satisfactory stay for 4 nights total.
- 596moirar (8/5): Great choice for a short stay in San Jose - Nice modern hotel spotlessly clean spacious room with a huge extremely comfortable bed. Good sized bathroom with a large shower. The room has a fridge and a coffee maker but no kettle for all those tea drinkers out there. There are some good restaurants within walking distance but be careful when out in the dark which is from about 5pm onwards as the pavements are treacherous. We really enjoyed the breakfasts, grat choice of cereals, fruit, yogurt, cold meats, breads and pastries plus a selection of hot food including scramble egg, fried plantain, r8ce and beans etc. Coffee was great as well. Staff were friendly and helpful.
- Fabricio (10/5): - Muy bien
- Debbie (10/5): - The breakfast buffet was amazing and the staff was very kind! Clean rooms.
- Rajat (4/5): Staff not courteous - The staff at the reception was very impolite and they where not courteous . (Felt the same both at the time to check in and check out)
- Ana (10/5): - Excelente
- Raywon (8/5): - The hotel itself is nice but there wasn’t really anything close by in the area. Walking to downtown is doable but a little long trek.
- Jason Michael (10/5): - The staff especially Juan Carlos from the breakfast dining area and Rosa from the 12th floor cleaning service were wonderful to us. They went above and beyond. Breakfast was legit Plato typico. This is our second time to the country and we will bookend our next trip with this hotel for sure as we look to explore the nature side of the country. Do yourself a favor and stay here for a few days and learn about the people before hitting the playa!
- Isabelle (8/5): - I was not informed that they are renovating the area around the pool and gym. Therefore the pool was closed and we couldn't use it. Furthermore the gym doors were removed and there was a lot of dust everywhere. If we would have known, we would have booked somewhere else. The food at the restaurant was delicious, the hotel is not located in the best area of town and is a short drive away from San Jose.
- Fredy (10/5): - Excellent
- Fiona (8/5): - Hotel has everything you need and is clean and modern. Location is ok. It’s a 20 minute walk to downtown and not as much to eat around the area.
- JOSE FRANCISCO (8/5): - Good location, food was great, staffs are helpful!
- Mandar (8/5): - Enjoyed our short stay at Park Inn during our family vacation.
- Fiona (10/5): - Clean hotel. Has pool. Has gym.
- Dan (10/5): - This hotel was very nice, clean, and comfortable. It felt upscale for the price and the breakfast was amazing!
- Verified traveler (8/5): It’s fine - Staff was nice and helpful. The room had an intense odor of cleaning alcohol that was tough to withstand. The pool needed to be cleaned.
- Jason (10/5): Very Nice place! - Unfortunately, because I was feeling when I got there I couldn’t Get out and explore the area, but the hotel itself was extremely nice. The room was excellent in the bed was very comfortable, which was perfect for me because I was feeling sick and I just needed to lie down. I plan on returning to San Jose and I will definitely be staying at the Park Inn again.
- 766analuciac (4/5): Six Hours at the Park Inn - My six hours at the Park Inn Nice clean facilities, hotel customer service less than desirable failed to acknowledge me upon arrival for the first 10 mins I stood right before her. The restaurant and staff were amazing!!! The room as I opened with I needed it for 6 hours. I didn’t get any sleep the room was HOT the AC did nothing. I do hope your first experience in Costa Rica goes better than mine
- Camile (10/5): - Todo lindo y limpio. La habitación hermosa grande y cómoda. El desayuno muy bueno y el personal bien atento
- M9143FGlouiser (6/5): Comfortable short stay, but extremely poor room WIFI - We were collected from the airport by the hotel which was great. It was late on and we were pretty tried after being on the road for nearly 24 hours. The cost to be collected from the hotel is $45 which you pay to the driver. What you might notice when arriving to this hotel is that there are very few places to eat and drink close by, which is pretty much the case. Check in was straightforward. We were allocated a bedroom on the 9th floor. The room was very spacious, clean with two large, very comfortable double/king beds, large TV, large closet for clothes, safety deposit box, coffee making facilities (you’re out of luck tea drinkers as there is no kettle), a desk for those here on business and decent sized bathroom with a shower. If you are British speaking and don’t understand Spanish (which we shamefully don’t), you won’t find anything to watch on the TV. There are plenty of sockets available that take a US adapter. You can purchase water, snacks, beer and soda from the mini bar, but it’s pretty pricey! There are a couple of little convenience stores around to purchase these things a lot cheaper- please note they will only accept the Costa Rican Colon at these stores. Rooms are cleaned daily and they’ll change your towels daily if you leave them on the floor. WIFI in the room is poor and doesn’t work most of the time, which can be pretty frustrating. It does work in the lobby, bar and restaurant pretty well. The hotel has a restaurant and bar area. The bar closes at 11pm and last food order is at 9:30pm (I think) It’s all priced in the CR colon, but they will accept US dollars. Bar staff and restaurant staff are very friendly. The prices aren’t too bad for a city location hotel. It’s around $16 for 2 draft beers. The restaurant is where breakfast is served. There is a selection of hot Costa Rican cuisine, scrambled eggs, breads, fruit, cheese, spicy cured meats, cakes, cereal, coffee, juices and water. The pool area is nice, very shaded, but there are only 3 beds available. The pool isn’t the warmest, but nice for a dip when you’ve been out in the heat. They will also provide you with pool towels. The hotel will change up to $20 in to Costa Rican currency. The hotel also offers trips (didn’t check this out so unsure of the prices) and has a small gift shop with snacks to purchase. The city centre is around a 30 minute walk and it’s pretty much a straight road there. Personally, I didn’t think there was much to see. If you are from a town in the north west of the UK you’ll get local high street vibes. There are tonnes and tonnes of shops that sell clothes, souvenirs and sports wear. The main attractions are the church, theatre and the animal sanctuary which is pretty cheap to enter, but isn’t open on a Monday. There are plenty of buses that go past the hotel, so this is something you could ask the hotel front desk about. Not sure how much a taxi to and from the centre costs, but I would think in the region of $20-$30 depending on time of day as it does get pretty busy. If fast food is your thing then you’re never more than a 5 minute walk from a McDonalds. We found two reasonably priced, very local bars/eateries close to the hotel. Bienvenidos which is a 2 minute walk (away from the centre)- cheap beers and local cuisine, but only accepts the colon and La Muny which is a 5 minute walk (away from the centre). This place serves Costa Rican and Mexican cuisine and is very delicious and reasonably priced. Carlos who’s the manager there is very helpful explaining the menu and portion sizes etc. They will accept US dollars, but not more than $20 notes. The area looks a little daunting as there are a few rough sleepers, but it’s totally fine and no one bothers you. We were only staying 2 nights in San Jose, which I felt was enough time as we’re heading to La Fortuna.
- Frances J (8/5): Nice place - It’s a nice hotel, with easy access to local markets on the east side of San Jose. I walked every where. Housekeeping had the best smiles for me, whereas the front desk rarely did. Only one English Channel, HGTV and there was no sound on the Golf channel. All rooms have Mountain Views. Bed was comfortable, all pillows were very full/fluffy. Water was hot in shower. No decaf in the room, only at breakfast.
- Cristaly (8/5): - Clean hotel. Staff not so kind
- Elizabeth (10/5): - Good location clean and nice view
- David (2/5): - Great!
- Brianne (10/5): - Very nice hotel that is centrally located. We walked everywhere during the day. Close to central market, central avenue, museums, parks, and restaurants. We did not walk around after dark due to safety concerns, but really enjoyed the happy hour at the hotel. Oscar makes some great drinks. The strawberry daiquiris, margaritas, and mojitos are delicious. We also appreciated the daily breakfast. It is very good. All of the hotel staff are very kind and helpful. We had a fantastic time and I would stay here again in a heartbeat. The only suggestions I would make is it would be nice if the hotel offered to go cups for coffee for those leaving before 6 am or just wanting to take it on the go. We saw this at some of the other hotels. Also, the pool and hot tub close too early at 8 pm. Overall, a great experience.
- Mohamed (4/5): - Staff wss incredibly rude and pretentious, for the entire duration of our stay. This was shocking to me as I have been travelling to Costa Rica for several years and it’s the only time I’ve ever experienced this. The cleaning products they use have me a migraine and the smell was so strong of chemicals. With all the hotels you can choose from in San Jose, I would not recommend this one at all.
- Rosa Elia (10/5): - Was very nice place
- Christian (4/5): - Front desk customer service was not helpful at all. Came in at 6am and was told by a young lady in reception, I could get breakfast just to be told I had to pay by a kitchen worker since I hadn’t checked in yet. Worked in lobby until check in hoping I could get early check in, told reception to call me if there is a room available early. They never called me and I noticed they were letting people check in early so I had to ask again and they seemed irritated I wanted to check in early.
- Alex (10/5): - Very clean, good location, very friendly and helpful staff. Nothing to complain about maybe except the food prices. The neighborhood look a bit sketchy.
- Balvntrai (10/5): - Great hotel. Little away from town.
- Javier (10/5): - I liked it, nothing crazy but good value for the price.
- griseldada (10/5): - Need to be updated
- Miguel (8/5): - the room was excellent, but the breakfast is poor.
- Monica V (10/5): - Cleanliness and friendly staff
- Amanda (10/5): - We enjoyed our stay. Staff were great, we were able to extend our checkout and staff were very helpful calling cabs and answering our questions. We would stay here again!
- William (10/5): - For where I need to be it is a very efficient and comfortable location. The restaurant serves very good meals and the staff is pleasant and helpful.
- Wei (10/5): - Overall, this is a nice hotel. Breakfast is great. Like to recommend it to anyone who needs staying in San Jose.
- Ramnath (10/5): - The location was very good , wakable to downtown. Felt safe and hotel was clean
- Sasa (10/5): - Gym
- Laurie (10/5): We Enjoyed our Stay Here with No Issues - Stayed here for two nights while awaiting our flight back to the United States after driving around Costa Rica for two weeks. Room was clean & air conditioning worked well & free breakfast was excellent. Hotel is far enough away from downtown San Jose & the airport that it was not too noisy & we felt safe. If you like to walk, you can walk to the downtown area where the museums are & lots of places to eat, but it is a couple of miles. They have a good parking area for those driving cars.
- Scott (8/5): - All good
- Holly (8/5): - Did not receive upgrade, hotel needs updating in common areas. Limited menu in dining room. Closes early for late arrivals.
- Maria Angelita (10/5): - Maria Angelica provided excellent customer service. Thank you! I had hair in my burrito like breakfast item yesterday. Not good. hair net important in food service.
- LENNIE (10/5): - The staff at the hotel, will do thier best to assist you.
- Patrick T. (10/5): - Very nice rooms. Restaurant was tasty!
- SYED FAISAL (10/5): - Nice, clean and spacious room. Food is good too.
- Marc (6/5): - Some broken fixtures, the faucet on the tub didn't work. Some the towels were dirty... Every day we had to get new cards for the elevator & our room door, not what I expected for a 4 star hotel!!
- Ayana Swann (10/5): - A nice clean hotel close to San Jose centre
- Simon (6/5): - The hotel is modern, clean, and the kitchen staff are friendly and very accomodating. However, can't say the same about front desk staff; the hotel's policy is to scan the customers passport. This is not done anywhere else in Costa Rica and makes one wonder their reason. Would not recommend walking alone around the area.
- farron (8/5): - Last night of a bimonthly trip to catch some Zs and clean up. Plus: Speedy check-in, fast room service, safe parking, nice view of the city at night, good pizza, and ample towels. Minus: Undisclosed room service charges (2 of them) and ice only available on the first floor (a 12 floor property). Lighting in room could have been better. Bottom line: Yes, we would stay here
- Lorenzo (8/5): - Property is in a safe neighborhood, clean, I only had an issue with the AC. It was not working in the fully capacity, it was reported but in my opinion partially repaired. Out of that I will recommend it, staff five plus.
- Stephanie (8/5): - Excellent staff and breakfast!
- Nancy (4/5): - Very slow service at the front desk, both for check-in and checkout.
