Súper bien !!
Justo lo que necesitaba. Un lugar tranquilo para dormir y muy limpio, las sábanas tenían un olor agradable, rica cama y ricas almohadas. Un baño aseadito. La habitación muy pequeña pero confortable. Y el parqueo bien. No desayuné x falta de tiempo.

Hotel cerca de la Universidad de Costa Rica
Fue una experiencia agradable. Tanto el dueño como el personal muy atentos y amables. La parte del hotel en que me hospedé cuenta con un área compartida con otra habitación, la cual tiene una estancia, sala y cocina (con refrigerador, alacenas estufa, refrigerador enfriador-calentador de agua y trastes).
