This is a good place to stay if you are looking for a basic place in the city that makes you feel as if you are part of the community. However, when I was there, the air conditioner in my room was not working. They did hunt down a fan, which made the situation fine. Then we lost power completely. So then I was in a hot room in Costa Rica with no windows. They did have someone there trying to fix the situation and at some point power came back on so I didn't suffocate, but that brings my pints down.
