Overall it was a good stay. The staff were friendly, and extremely helpful. However, the B;'fast could of been a lot better. Perhaps a nice Buffet B'fast would of been good. As for the pool it was nicely located by the Bar. But my young son, and I did not really enjoy it. I went in once only. He never went in purely due to the fact there were Wild birds in the pool e.g Big Black Crows which made it very unhygienic. Fortunately we found another pool completely free of the Wild Birds, and near to the Beach.

I read several reviews about how bad the parking is, and how dated the hotel rooms are. They couldn't have been more wrong! There was plenty of parking, it is very secure, and the hotel rooms are fine. Yes, they are a little bit dated in some respects, but nothing that ruined the trip. The location is great in San Jose, and the facilities are all in great condition. We didn't swim in the pool but it looked very clean and beautiful. And it was never crowded.

A great hotel to stay at that’s near the national stadium for a concert (Paul McCartney!!!). The interior is a little dated but safe and clean with a friendly, helpful staff. You also get access to the amenities of the Tennis Club; 2 pools and indoor and outdoor tennis courts! A great deal in a great location!

I rate this facility 5 star for tennis fans. I talked to the manager. He is a really nice person. The facility is in the process of renovation. I got the chance to see the completed room and they are really amazing. I would definitely recommend it and plan on going back

The whole place is awful, smells bad, rooms are small and outdated. Only stayed because a friend suggested I should, but never again. The view from the narrow window, the barb wire, anyone looking for a prison like setting, they’ll find one here.

Disappointed with the stay. Room was very basic and not particularly clean. The room was on the ground floor, facing the parking area and windows were opaque glass, so certainly not the 'garden view' we booked and expected. Quite noisy through the night and then strong cooking smells from very early in the morning. There is a sensor in the room which emits a very bright white flashing light every few seconds. Bedsheets thin and towels threadbare. Staff were efficient and very pleasant, and the facilities seemed excellent. Plenty of parking spots and the place is very secure. Breakfast was ok, although the choice of juice OR coffee seemed strange.
Hopefully other rooms are nicer, I would certainly avoid the ground floor rooms if possible.

Roaches!!
Never a good experience when a huge roach wakes u up at 3:30 am crawling on your back while u sleeping. Saw several others about so they must not clean well and was a lot of small flying bugs tgat cami inside from the rocky “patio” area. Carpet hasent been replaced in years but it was a secure and a place to rest up if u don’t mind lil critters.

Todo limpio, pero la habitación olía a viejo. El hotel forma parte de un deportivo con canchas de tenis, padel, basket, fútbol, gimnasio, alberca olímpica, y más.. fui por temas de trabajo y estaba bien. Pero para vacacionar, San José yo creo que sea muy atractivo.
El desayuno que venía incluido, era 2 huevos (fritos o revueltos) gallo pinto (arroz con frijol negro) y 2 tortillas, el café buenísimo.
