    A rollercoaster of pros and cons

    The welcoming staff and cozy atmosphere truly made my stay enjoyable! Plus, the safe neighborhood and convenient location to attractions were definitely highlights!

    While the room lacked some cleanliness and breakfast options, it was still okay for the price. The flimsy doors raised a bit of concern about security, but nothing major.

    large pool
    family-friendly
    great location
    limited dining options

    The stay at this hotel was good! We especially enjoyed the large pool area, which was perfect for our family, including our young baby. The location made it easy to explore nearby places like the Alejandro Morera Soto Stadium, just a short drive away.

    In my wife’s opinion, more family-friendly dining options would be great.

    street noise

    The noise from the street at night can be quite distracting. The room's size is underwhelming, lacking windows and leaving it feeling cramped. Those worn sheets and towels aren't exactly appealing either, and although everything else is adequate, these details could benefit from updates.

    would book again

    the staff is super nice and made us feel right at home. our room had a private bathroom, a comfy bed, and a flat-screen TV. it's located close to shops and food, which was awesome for exploring. the quiet street view was relaxing, and the shower was just what we needed after a long day.

    friendly service
    affordable pricing
    street noise

    I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and affordable my room was, and the friendly reception team was always there to help. Relaxing by the pool and enjoying the cheap soda shop downstairs made my stay even better. The only downside was the street noise at night, but it didn’t ruin my overall experience. 😊

    Budget-friendly but needs soundproofing

    So this place had friendly staff. The best part? It was conveniently located near great breakfast spots, perfect for kickstarting our days.

    It wasn’t exactly inexpensive, but still acceptable for what we got.
