Quiet comfort!

Very friendly reception and helpful staff. You can see that cleanliness is a top priority. The food was very good as well. They offer a secure, enclosed parking area that is monitored by cameras next to the hotel.

Good breakfast, nice hotel

We stayed only 1 night in this hotel during our 7 days Costa Rica visit in Dec 2023. Everything looks great specifically breakfast.
Sudipta, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff was excelent! The only problem i had is that the A/C is not strong enough and can get a little hot. I was down at 2 am since i couldnt sleep and they gave me an electric fan and upgraded me to a suite that could regulate the temperature at will, still the A/C was a little lacking but it was enough for me to get comfortable. The hotel staff was great! Breakfast was delicious and the lunch/dinner options were very tasty. Overall I had a wonderful time at this hotel!

Good price and location. Free breakfast. Not a fancy breakfast but plenty of good food. Should add cinnamon rolls with raisins on top.

Great Stay

Excellent stay as usual. We miss having the machine that makes different coffees. I make my reservations in English and it would be easier to get these surveys in English.

It was a good location to get around by Uber because it was close to everything. The room was good. They charge you $30 for early check in. There were little options for breakfast.
