Me and my husband stay here everytime we come to San Jose . We have stayed here probably 10 times ( we live in Costa Rica and come to San Jose for shopping for our business ) I LOVE this hotel. It is clean, good location, private parking , and an incredible deal for the price you pay. I 10000000% recommend this hotel! I will never stay anywhere else when coming to San Jose . I always ask for a certain floor to stay on and they accommodate me everytime . We have a future booking reserved for next month already! See you soon
