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.

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.

Secure Hotel with Amazing Sports Amenities

The hotel covers what seems to be an entire block, with 2 pools, many indoor and outdoor tennis courts, table tennis, racketball, fitness center, soccer, and bowling. The restaurant is excellent. The rooms are fine as they have air conditioning, which is not always the case in the area. The water pressure is pretty low, which is not a feature. The staff is very helpful.
I've stayed here twice while getting dental work done, and would certainly recommend it to my friends.

Nice hotel not far from downtown San Jose

Good service and friendly staff. Continental breakfast very good. On my last day one of the staff forgot to give my clothes to the laundry service the morning before my departure, and I almost had to go home with more dirty clothes than I wanted. But the man on duty when I went to check on the laundry in the evening, Carlos, was able to get another staff member to stay late and do my laundry so that my clothes would be clean. So I want to commend Carlos for his superior effort. He was even willing to take my clothes home with him that evening and wash them at his house so that I would have them back clean the next morning before checking out. Carlos is an excellent staff member and his customer service skills are extraordinary.

Location convenient but terribly noisy.

We arrived around 4 pm to find that our booked superior room with 2 king sized beds was not available. On offer was a room next to the main road with 1 double and 2 singles ! Noise is a problem at this hotel. I complained and was told hotel was full but the did have a room which had never been used which had 1 king bed and at the other end of the hotel (less noisy). We accepted abd this was fine. This was good as I would not have stayed in the original room on offer. Expedia should explain to hotels that they should honour the booking.

Horrible hotel at a Nice Tennis Facility

My family and I booked a nite at this property 10 days in Advance, when we arrived we attempted to reserve a tennis court, no courts available on our day of arrival nor the following day... After check-in we headed to our 2nd floor room, no assistance with luggage or valet and no elevator.
Room had stained carpets, out dated everything! Room was less than 40 feet from the busy train tracks and a 4 lane road was 15 feet from the bedroom, Loud road noise all night long! NO Sleep!!!!!!! We were given vouchers for the Breakfast Buffet, except they failed to mention that it did not include the fruit, yogurt, cereal or omelets as these items would incur an additional charge, only food permitted were either scrambled eggs or two fried eggs plus rice and beans...

Awesome sports club

Don't choose this hotel if you are looking for luxurious accommodations. But if access to a great sports club works for you, this place rocks. In truth the hotel kinda sucks. It is outdated. The beds are not comfortable. There is a train that passes by frequently beginning about 5:30am. But the sports club is awesome. Great facilities. It takes a little work to access, but all is available to hotel guests. The hotel management is more helpful than the staff. The restaurant is good. Because of the club, I loved my stay and would return. If they'd improve the rooms, I'd never leave!

No kitchenettes, otherwise a really great place

The CRTC affords a guest a unique opportunity to experience what living in Costa Rica, among the club set, means. The buildings are older, the Club was founded in 1911. However, the facilities are extensive and the restaurant is a great example of a social/family gathering place for Ticos of some means. This is a different experience than a US-centric hotel chain; just request a remodeled room. (The service is really good too.)
