Guest Reviews

StuLondon342 (2/5): Bad and overpriced. - I’m gutted I didn’t stay somewhere half the price as this was so bad it could not be worse. Windowless stuffy room, everything cheap and nasty, dreadful characterless white bread breakfast. Dirty shower. Two good things. A very friendly and helpful receptionist when I arrived and an efficient airport shuttle. That’s it.
T5936GVemmac (2/5): No taxi service, awful experience, very mediocre breakfast - If I could give no stars, I would.
937denisen (4/5): Steer clear if you want sleep - I can't understand how this hotel had an 8 out of 10 rating! I booked it because I was arriving late in San Jose. They also offered a shuttle from the airport to the hotel. First off, it took awhile to get in touch with the front desk to ask for the pick up. Then it took a full half hour for a taxi to get us. When we exited the taxi, the first thing we see is a shattered entrance door. I was thinking what kind of a place is this. Check in was quick as it was now around 10pm. We had a room on the first floor. There were several rooms in this corridor. The room was small, totally outdated and sparse in everyway. We had been traveling most of the day and wanted a shower. Let the water run for 10 minutes and no hot at all. Loud air conditioning unit and interruptions from heavy wood doors slamming late at night. Then at 7 am kids were in the pool making all kinds of noise. Needless to say we got hardly any sleep. I would not recommend this place at all!
Y4130MBrosef (2/5): This place is horrible! Located in a slum area and not worth staying here not one positive thing to say about this dump! - This place is not even a 1 star located in a slum area very scary to even consider staying here . Not one positive thing to say about this so called hotel. Do not stay here ever 😬
Kelly (10/5): - Housekeeping and breakfast prep staff were EXCELLENT and ALWAYS willing to help in any way. I enjoyed 3 days in Alajuela and the hotel was central to everything!
Ashleigh (6/5): - Do not rely on the “24/7 shuttle service” we had to find our way to and from the airport as they were not responsive or not available. I even tried asking them if I could schedule an airport pickup ahead of time and they said no just wait someone will answer, but that did not happen. However, the place was pretty clean and the breakfast was nice and convenient
Raed (6/5): - The room was good, staff was nice my only complaint is the room is a bit noisy it faces a busy street, so it’s a bit loud to sleep. Other than that it’s a nice hotel
Sandy (10/5): - Clean room, pool area very clean and quiet
Yunwen (8/5): Convenient - Accommodating for our late arrival after midnight. Arranged a free shuttle for our next morning early flight. Great service
steve (8/5): - The employees were very gracious and very nice
David (10/5): - Very good location. Price was great. Breakfast was good. Stayed here because it's near the airport. Free parking too
Tracey (10/5): - Have stayed here several times over past 4 years, easy, convenient, friendly & clean
robertomorerasevilla (10/5): Very nice hotel. - Hi. On Wednesday, June 11th, I needed to stay in downtown Alajuela and was looking for a place to stay and spend the night safely, in a clean, comfortable room, and to be able to leave my car in a safe and nearby location. I found this incredibly wonderful hotel—safe, clean, and with exceptionally professional and humane customer service. They only had one suite left, and even though I was the only one staying in the room, they were kind enough to reserve it for me. I sincerely thank Mr. José who initially took my call. Then Alberto's service at the front desk was wonderful, explaining everything that the room included, from parking for my car to the included breakfast, the possibility of using the pool, and the nearby amenities, such as supermarkets, bank branches, and more. In the morning, Jessica's attention maintained the excellent customer service I had already received from the hotel staff. I also want to mention the room cleaners who also helped me with some aspects of my visit. I want to thank you for the valuable service I received and recommend this hotel for its excellent quality and service. Thank you so much and much more success. I pray God continues to bless you 🙏
edmaly (10/5): - Hotel close to the airport. We stayed for 1 night because we had an early flight. They offer shuttle service to the airport which was great. We were able to walk to a close by bar to watch the Costa Rica football game. Very safe to walk and restaurants and bars close by. Rooms are clean. Breakfast is very minimal but is enough to fill you up. This is our 2nd time staying there for 1 night. Very convenient.
Larry (10/5): - Very convenient and quick shuttle to the airport, and the room was well worth the price.
Nohemias (10/5): - Close to everything food etc
Sofia (10/5): - We had a late flight in to CR so we found this place for the night so we could pick up our rental the next morning. Its all we needed, a clean comfy bed, ac, and shower. They provided a shuttle from the airport to the hotel. On our way out, we came back and appreciated the fridge too.
Alexandra (8/5): - My partner stubbed their toe because the bathroom is 2 inches taller. Small details like this keep it from being a great stay but it was good for the value. Clean and convenient.
Tollef (2/5): - Expedia totally misrepresented this hotel. I did not stay there and want a refund.
Noel (8/5): - Near Airport.
javier (10/5): - Great place for the money. Safe , clean and good bed.
Laura (10/5): - Super cute place, quick shuttle at midnight when i arrived, no complaints!
Alex (10/5): - Great place to stay!
Richard (10/5): - A clean functional room at a very reasonable rate. Close to dining options and includes an airport shuttle!
Randy (6/5): - Mediocre on all counts
Jani (10/5): - I REALLY enjoy La Guaria. Easy and nice and comfortable and zero stress atmosphere. Great people!
Jeffrey (10/5): - Great place to spend the night after a late night flight arrival. Only complaint was the airport pickup. The reception seemed to have difficulty coordinating this with its taxi driver but they arrived after we waited almost an hour
Lilian (10/5): - I would like to thank to Miss Jessica for her kindness and service in general.
Sherri (8/5): - Basic, older property, but with everything you need. Comfortable bed, nice simple breakfast and a great location close to parks, museums, restaurants, shopping and the airport. As others have mentioned, the pool did not appear very clean so I didn’t go in.
Terry (10/5): - Great customer service and nice employees. Very clean and quiet. Great to have taxi to Airport.
Karla Y (10/5): - Great place to stay!
Gregory (6/5): Budget hotel - Clean room for a quick late night stay
Rajat (10/5): - We booked this hotel last minute as our reservation was cancedue to double booking and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise as this hotel even though a bit expensive than other one was far better. Our room was huge. 2 double beds and 1 twin bed. Big almirah and a fridge. No microwave. 24 hour front desk. We only stayed for the night as we had pretty early morning flight. They have free parking but its 5 minutes walk to the parking lot. You could park in front of hotel to load and unload. The lady at front desk was nice. The day we were there, they had a scheduled shuttle at 4am for guests. Not sure if there was extra charge for it or if it even runs every day. We had to leave earlier so we did not used it. Make sure to have bug spray as there were few mosquitoes when lights were on in the room.
Mauricio (10/5): - Very nice
Tonya (8/5): - Good value. Clean rooms. Comfortable beds. Airport shuttle available.
Nathan (8/5): - Very friendly staff. Convenient location.
Julien (10/5): - Good value for the price, nothing to complain about, I really appreciated the shuttle service to the airport in the middle of the night
Victor (10/5): - good value friendly staff rooms decent
Noah (10/5): - Nice, clean, safe place to stay.
Jiri (10/5): - X
susan siu kuen (8/5): Good hotel - It’s a good hotel to stay near the airport. Keep in mind that this hotel is very dated and basic but it’s spotless. Service checking in was great, very friendly. The morning crew at breakfast, front desk & staff on were extremely friendly. Greeting you and starting conversations with us. Parking is around the corner on another street but really like a 2 minute walk. It’s in a quiet area on a quiet street so if you go in the evening may seem scary but it’s not.
Verified traveler (2/5): Noisy place to stay - We stayed in room 205 in March. The room was clean but extremely noisy. It was due to the fact that there was building construction happening directly across the street starting at 3:30 AM. As well as loud traffic noise resonating until late in the evening. Maybe got 3 hours of sleep...
Freddy (6/5): - Rooms were small but clean. Bathroom was very small and crowded
Bogdan (10/5): - We stayed only one night so no other comment
Pavel (10/5): Perfect fit - Our list night before early morning flight, everything went smooth and precise including the early shuttle service. Room had all we needed in good shape. The only comment is towards the noise from the floor, which is quite disturbing as guests coming/leaving basically whole night (well, consideration of these guests towards others is another question...). Overall reviews and expectations fulfilled.
Byron (10/5): - They are excellent
John (8/5): - Our stay was brief due to a late arrival at the airport. That said, the staff is top notch! The desk clerk was more than helpful. She was nothing short of glorious. Helpful to the point of telling us which bank to NOT go to. Providing us breakfast after the food was already removed. I deeply regret not asking her name because I would vote for her to get a raise or a promotion. She was that good. Many thanks!
Thomas (4/5): - No tv, no hot water and for a bit no water at all. And don’t bother with the breakfast
John David (6/5): GOOD STOPOVER HOTEL - This is a good place, very reasonable and with free airport transfers which all worked out well for all seven of us, right near the central plaza of Alajuela, a good alternative from going into San Jose. The rooms are very basic, but the services was great and all worked well for all of us.
kenneth (8/5): - Patio is nice restaurants in area friendly staff.
Dave (10/5): - Great stay, nice accommodations & super staff.
Susan (10/5): - I've stayed here several times for an airport layover. Great customer service!
Angela (8/5): - Very nice Hotel, clean, close to downtown and free airport shuttle is a plus
Leslie (10/5): - Excellent staff and breakfast
Maria (2/5): - Dirty, there were bugs. Smelled stale. They did not call is for our wake up call. Glad we had our alram set or we would have missed our flight home. This is not a good place tobstay. Dont do it.
Ashley (10/5): - We had a long layover & decided to stay here so we wouldn’t have to sit at the airport for 8hrs. The place was clean and staff friendly and they gave us a free shuttle to the airport late that night.
Jose (10/5): - It was safe
Janice (8/5): - The location was close to the airport and the free shuttle service was great. Our shuttle left the hotel at 4 am. The air conditioner was weak. The beds were good. There was no elevator, but one of the staff helped us get our luggage up the stairs.
Terence (10/5): - very clean
Marian (8/5): - Generally everything was good. Breakfast not so much.
William (10/5): - The owners of the hotel are super helpful and friendly. Property close to parks and restaurants. Convenient for airport transfer.
larry (10/5): - the front desk Alberto was extremely helpful in giving instructions to the bus stop and places close hotel to eat.
Justin (8/5): - Very cute little hotel
larry (10/5): - The front desk was very helpful on places to eat abd arranging taxi to airport.
Edna (8/5): - Very nice hotel. hotel. Original reserved room was small for couple , not enough room for luggages. Requested a bigger room and was accommodated. Good breakfast, plenty fruits. staff are friendly and helpful. I can feel the wire in my bed. It was not poking when I lay down; so not uncomfortable. Someone heavier than me lying down may have a different experience - so need to check/replace it.
Elaine (10/5): Accommodation - The room was comfortable and clean only thing I would suggest shelf in bathroom also hook for towel.
michael (10/5): - Excellent breakfast for the price. Seriously impressed with the accommodations for that price.
Sue (8/5): - Appreciated the shuttle to the airport but it was on the hour. the rooms are dated but clean. staff helpful with information.
Elaine (8/5): Room report - The room clean and spacious only thing bad shower old and water trickled out also I slipped in the bath was okay
MAREE (10/5): - Clean. Friendly front desk. Warm vibe. Great value.
Todd (8/5): - Check in and checkout were quick and easy and reception was efficient and courteous. The hotel was very basic and the breakfast was likewise basic offering bread, fruit, coffee and other staples. The impetus behind our stay was the proximity to the airport and the free shuttle offered by the hotel. We would consider this hotel again for its convenience, but recognize it is a lower tier property.
ptpm (8/5): Great budget choice in the centre of Alajuela - Great budget option in the centre of Alajuela, just a 10-minute drive from the international airport, and easy walking distance of the sites, bus station and restaurants. Simple but nicely furnished clean rooms and bathrooms, and a standard complimentary breakfast. Third floor rooms have a view of the cloud shrouded mountains. Friendly helpful staff. No lift. There's also a nice pool for relaxing in after a busy day of sightseeing. Nearby restaurants: we loved Hibiscus and Snr Patacon. Trips: we took a taxi to Poas Volcano ($100 round-trip but clouds obscured the views; book park tickets in advance) and a bus to Rescate Wildlife Centre (great place to see some of Costa Rica's wildlife in large enclosures).
Valeriy (10/5): - Very nice inexpensive hotel. Even has a small swimming pool and provides a free breakfast (didn't get to try those as we were leaving at 5am). Airport shuttle goes every hour, the ride was on time and comfortable.
Lina (10/5): Fabulous hotel - I recommend this hotel completely. The staff were outstanding. The room was beautiful and clean. I just can’t say enough about it. It was a great location and I’m extremely happy that I went there.
Lnihiser (10/5): Fabulous hotel - I highly recommend this hotel. The staff were outstanding, the room was fabulous and quiet. The environment was excellent. The location of the hotel is within walking distance to a lot of the different attractions. I definitely recommend this hotel. I think it’s definitely worth your time to check it out.
Eshan (8/5): - Style
Carol (10/5): - Front desk staff was super helpful. Breakfast was nice. The pool was cool. The room was decent. Parking was great to have (around the block and had security)
courtney (10/5): - Great location
Sasa (8/5): - Reception staff is very professional and accommodating, great basic hotel for the value. Airport shuttle very reliable and breakfast available even before 6 am. Thank you!
Meb1985 (10/5): Free Transport service to the airport - Very good economic hotel for anyone searching to spend a night before they depart from Costa Rica. Close to San Jose airport and the hotel offers a free transport to the airport. I recommend it for anyone that tries to find a basic and economic hotel close to the airport
Theodore (10/5): - Nice quiet clean place
Elizabeth (10/5): Can't wait to go back! - Loved this place! They were so helpful getting us a ride from the airport. Breakfast was great. They kept everything refilled ans hot. Felt safe and comfortable.
James (2/5): great if you like ghetto. - Ghetto and gross. old mattresses exposed. Front glass door was shattered. Breakfast was nasty. Shower clogged. Sink dripped all night.
Ivania (10/5): Quick trip from airport - Delighted to return. Easy stay to help with your travel needs. Económico 👍
Frederick (10/5): - The staff is accommodating and friendly. It is conveniently located, and the property has a pool. Well maintained for an older property. Clean .
annebK9928JD (10/5): Most welcoming hotel experience I’ve ever had - I loved this place. I stayed there the first night I arrived and then stayed there for the last three nights of my trip. I’m a woman , traveling solo, and was made to feel like family by the staff and owners of this gem. Rooms are clean, comfortable, have all anyone needs, priced right and excellent location for on foot exploring. They also provide parking and airport transport. I could not have asked for a more welcoming and friendly place to stay. They even assisted me in getting a local SIM card when my supposed international roaming data wasn’t working- which I kind of needed since I was driving solo and needed Waze. Again, loved it here.
Amy (10/5): - A quiet little oasis in the city, perfect place to stay especially if you are traveling to or from the airport
Bryan (10/5): - Highly recommend
Karen (10/5): Will stay again - This is a great airport hotel. Centrally located in Alajuela, you can walk to get food or a short taxi/UBER to other restaurants. They have airport drop off 24hrs and driver was there on time. Can't comment on pool/food as have only stayed before or leaving SJO.
Stay83165 (10/5): What a pleasant surprise! - What a pleasant surprise! The cost was so low I wasn’t expecting a place so nice. Yes, the rooms were small but the bed was comfy, the shower and sink had great hot water and there were hangers in the closet! It was raining so hard that we didn’t get to experience the pool but everywhere else was totally clean. An added plus was Jalapeños restaurant just down the street, we ate there twice since it was so good!
Jani (10/5): - I go back to this place everytime I go through San Jose. Its the very best! Can walk easily anywhere for dining, food, shopping, arts, museums, parks etc! Love La Gauria Inn and Suites!!!
Nathan (10/5): Great value! - Super helpful staff couldn't have asked for better! Pretty quiet too considering the city location. Not super fancy but totally adequate and very well kept for the price. Good restaurants within short walking distance as well.
Redwings88 (6/5): Good place for a short stay - We stayed here one night so we could easily catch our early flight in the morning. The hotel provides parking a few blocks away. They also arrange shuttle service to the hotel which we used and was very efficient. The cold pool was small but inviting. We sat pool side and had some cocktails that we bought at the Musi market nearby. The front desk has ice (no fridge or coffee maker in the room). The shower had great water pressure and good temperature control. The bed was very comfortable. Easy to walk to many restaurants from here. We ate at a very good seafood restaurant - Presqueria da Limonta. Staff was very helpful and attentive.
Robert (10/5): - I love staying here.
kellokaykay (8/5): Great Value - Two separate couples in our family have stayed here within a month and both of us had a great experience. Central location with some walking distance restaurants and a very reliable, efficient shuttle service to the airport. When we stayed our flights out were so early we were going to miss the free breakfast so the hotel staff put out food, coffee and juice for us. There was only two of us and they accommodated us with a selection of breakfast items. The pool is surprisingly chilly which is nice for some but too cold for others but it's a very pleasant meeting place with several loungers and seating to enjoy some totally private outdoors. Everywhere we went in the hotel was very clean and well maintained. For the cost of the room we were not expecting ultra modern, spacious rooms or concierge service. What we did get was clean towels and bedding, a comfortable bed with A/C and TV, nicely appointed breakfast and free shuttle service. And a pool. Great value and we will definitely come back again.
Antonette (10/5): - Only stayed one night, but the staff were so welcoming and kind. The location is great for walking around. A park near by and lots of restaurants.
Verified traveler (4/5): Hair in the bed!!! - Room was very small...but we only paid $100.00 and we only needed room for 12 hours before we needed to be at airport...but...dirty sheets...we should have complained but opted to put up with it...mattress very hard and worried all night about getting bed bugs or something else gross...I guess you get what you pay for...also pool looks lovely in pictures but very tired looking and we didn't want to sit on any of the furniture as it was so dirty looking...(we didn't get bed bugs or see any bugs in room)
Kevin (10/5): Very nice hotel - We enjoyed our stay the staff was helpful and the room comfortable. We were able to walk to shops and restaurants and felt safe
swingindoorexchange (2/5): Scam! Cancelled weeks before and they charged me as if I stayed - I booked this hotel a month out. Supposed to have free cancellation. Called the day after booking and no one answers. Never received any communication or confirmation so I emailed with the reference E number from my booking asking to cancel the reservation. Still no communication. Tried calling again and again. Now I just received an email thanking me for staying with them and they charged my credit card. Again tried to communicate with them to get a refund. And again no way to communicate. It’s like robbery.
Robert (8/5): - An older hotel in average condition but with good service.
