Denise
We made a last minute reservation because of cancelled flights and no rooms close to the airport. Staff was friendly and helpful, we were thankful the bar was open and the rooms were clean.
Nazareno
Okay stay for 1 night. A little expensive stay.
Julio
El hotel está muy depreciado
Walter
Clean room
Mbayo T
Friendly staff, clean hotel in a quiet location. Short drive from town if you want some liveliness or stay on premises for a tranquil oasis
Marianne
Knowing this wasn’t a 5-star hotel, our expectations were low. We arrived here at the end of a week-long travel and were surprised at how this was the perfect stop for the night before our flight from Liberia. We loved this motel-style stop and there was a small breakfast included that had something for everyone.
Jennee
Excellent traditional Costa Rican breakfast, pool is beautiful and refreshing, grounds are meticulously maintained, clean and comfortable room with A/C. Perfect for us to stay after arrival and before departure at Liberia airport.
Erin
We had a comfy night's stay at Las Espuelas! Good beds, solid shower, tasty breakfast, easy parking, and the folks working were incredibly friendly and helpful.

Excelent stay
Scott
This was our very first stay in Coasta Rica, so we had no idea where to stay. I picked this hotel because it wasn’t right at the airport, and it was quite a little gem! The staff was very friendly, the rooms were simple and clean, the pool was clean and cool and the breakfast was very good! We only stayed one night on our way to Samara.
Shirley
Great hidden hotel, wish we stayed longer. Could use a bigger bathroom sink, tub drain takes a long time to drain out. Breakfast was delicious! Staff was very welcoming! Plenty of parking.
Leslie
The room was clean. As a last minute reservation for one night it met our need. I wouldn’t stay longer, though. There is nothing around the hotel. They have a restaurant and bar on site which is good but not great. Everyone there was very helpful and friendly.
Alexandre
Room is pretty old. Bathroom needs renovation
Tari
Check in was very slow, not very welcoming and the room needed work. Broken floor tiles, no wash cloths, not enough plugs to charge devices. Very dated place over all. Wouldn’t recommend
Gregory
The front desk was courteous and helpful. Grounds are lovely with a large clean pool. The room is adequate, water pressure low in shower but clean, comfy yet firm beds, air conditioner that cooled the room nicely. Had a late night snack at the bar, nachos were delicious. The server was alone and probably needs another server for the number of people. Breakfast was good, nice options. Over all, a great find.
Andres
Clean room, nice, quiet place
Daniel and Margaret
Yes, always nice to stay there
Gerard
Clean comfortable stay. Close to highway into Liberia. Close to LIR Airport.

El hotel está viejo, no le dan mantenimiento, el aire acondicionado en mal estado, es un hotel viejo no lo recomiendo
Charles
The hotel/motel is an ecofriendly location with a garden area containing turtles and tree frogs. The combination of friendly helpful staff, good food and wildlife made for an overall great tropical experience.
kathryn a
Very helpful with transport⁰
Ursula
We had a great stay at the Las Espuelas Hotel. The people were super helpful and friendly. Pool was nice and clean. Service was great, the facilities were clean but moderate. Breakfast was super and at night we could relax at the restaurant and bar. The only draw back was that there is nothing around the hotel and for every trip we needed a car.
Edward
Clean and reasonably priced

I just wanted to say that other than the hotel being a little rundown (at least in the rooms). It was super convenient, close to amenities and the airport. It was perfect for an overnight stay before heading out of town. Also the staff were super helpful and graciously patient with our limited Spanish. But that seemed to be the norm everywhere in Costa Rica.
Chris
it was clean and quiet
Mike
Luis at the front desk is an excellent help. I can’t say enough about how helpful he was with everything. The place is rustic, very much reminds me of the American southwest. It’s a nice place to stay for a day.
Beds were like brand new. And they offered a breakfast. Coffee was excellent.

This is the 1st hotel in the trip so far it’s nice
Luisanna
Stay away from this place! Walls are disgusting, internet was reset but connection would come in and out. It was three of us and they only wanted to give us two towels. Not to mention breakfast was not a buffet and only provided one egg a little bit of rice and one sausage. For them to charge $117 per night for three of us is a loss of money.
Jill
I recently stayed at Las Espuelas Hotel for 4 nights with my two daughters, and overall, we had a wonderful experience! From the moment we checked in, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The gentleman at the front desk (I didn’t catch his name) was incredibly kind and helpful, answering all of our questions throughout our stay.
The property itself is beautiful, and the rooms were spotless, though we did notice a little bit of mold and had issues with cold showers. It’s worth noting that the location isn’t super walkable to attractions, but that wasn’t a major issue for us.
One of the highlights of our stay was the on-site restaurant/bar. The food was fantastic, and our waiter, Carlos, was outstanding! He was so kind and patient, especially with my very picky daughter, making every dinner an enjoyable experience.
Thank you to the amazing staff for making our stay so memorable! We’d love to return in the future.

This is a great reasonable hotel. The a/c works great and breakfast is fantastic. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Hot water was minimal for showers.
Isaac
Not so good. Room was clean but very dated and very abused.
Michael
Great place to stay. The service was great and the bar was a very nice place to hang out.
Annie
Got in late and left early, overall, ok. Probably wouldn’t book here again though
Sylvia
It’s a very decent place. To spend the night is ok. The place needs to get renovated.
Pamela
The water is not drinkable...You can't drink the water, brush your teeth, or bathe, as the water comes out brown.
Marc
It was okay, just out dated
Gabriel

Service was great.
David
The property is well maintained, clean and has a friendly staff. It just looks like time has not been very friendly to the area and the construction of an elevated highway has made it noisy, all hours of the day. The location is close to the airport and the price is great. For a quick stay, this place is great.
David
Very tired property.
Alberto
Good location
James
Spacious grounds, good restaurant nice front sitting area. Not many bookings so staff was thin.

It was a nice, old school, hotel. The restaurant area is very nice.
Barbara
Quick stop
It was a good first night stay from the airport. The food and drink from the restaurant was tasty and the service was great
John
Overall a good night's stay. Front desk was cordial and helpful when asked. The only suggestion is that at check-in it is very helpful for the guest to be given a quick rundown, where is the pool, where is the restaurant, what time is the (excellent) breakfast served, etc.. We almost missed breakfast for not seeing a dining room.
JOHN
Great atmosphere. Place looks just the way it does in the pictures
John
Friendly staff, good service, nice pool area, well-maintained and clean facility.
Ami-Anne
Nice place close to the airport. Pool was nice but a bit cold and they didn’t have a crib for my baby (as advertised on the website) but other than that we really enjoyed our stay. Food was delicious but definitely pricey.
Miles
Great pool.
Kaushik
Great place to stop over before getting back on plane . Good place to rest up before heading out to start your trip or to unwind before you go back home .
Meghann
Review Canadian: this hotel is more like a motel and definitely not 3 stars. Paper thin walls. Could hear what the person next to us was watching on TV. Breakfast was good and big portion!
iris
I like the convenience of being near the Airport.
Ana Chang
The room we stayed little old. We stayed there 1 week. They should have more choices for breakfast .
Priya
Clean room, great breakfast and polite staff.
Ruben
Property was 13 kilometers away from the airport. Nothing around it. Very dark upin arrival. In our room there were two dead cockroaches. Not justify the cost.
Jeffrey
Great breakfast, clean, safe with good staff. A comfortable place to spend the night.
Jeffrey
If you have a car this place is great and the staff are excellent

Property was somewgat close to the airport and was budget friendly. Not much offered at the hotel and they do not offer transportation
Guillermo
OK, basic hotel. But old hotel and rooms
Ethan
Good experience
Marian
The rooms are basic but comfortable. Air conditioning definitely a nice amenity. The pool was nice and the onsite restaurant is also good. Hotel was fairly quiet on the two days we were here. Staff always polite and friendly.
Crystal
It was what we expected! Cute pool, nice rooms (would be nice to have a mini fridge). Air conditioner was perfect, beds were comfortable, staff was friendly and dinner (paid) and breakfast (included) was tasty.

Very good food. Beautiful pool and flowers/landscaping. Great place to stay overnight before catching plane home. 15 minute taxi ride to airport. Full breakfast with delicious fruit
Virginia
Good spot, very friendly desk personnel, great continental breakfast!
Jeff
The grounds of this hotel are very nice and spacious. The only real negative was the rooms are dated. Really enjoyed our stay. Location was nice near many things but on the edge of town. All the amenities listed were there and worked except hot tub was not hot while we were there.
James
Staff very friendly and helpful. Menu at restaurant quite limited, rooms towards the front get a lot of traffic noise and light at night from the entryway, but overall very well done here and clean. I recommend it.
kylee
Loved it!
Betty Ann
Some family members and myself were returning from a stay from Nicaragua and staying one night to catch our early flight home. The hotel was very spacious and clean. We did eat dinner in restaurant and portions were big and presented nicely but we found the food extremely salty.
Staff were very accommodating for my daughter in law and grandkids letting them have a late check out.

Basic and Clean Accommodation
The staff at the hotel is very friendly. The hotel is located right off the highway so you hear the truck traffic at night and in the early morning. The hotel is very basic, but has a large swimming pool.The location is close to the airport. It was clean, but nothing fancy or special.
Karen
Looks lovely like the photos. Nice big pool and hot tub (altho I didn’t get in). Basic & adequate room.
Jason
We stayed for one night on our way to Liberia for a departing flight and we loved it! Great, rustic Costa Rican hotel. The hotel and rooms are simple but absolutely spotless. Huge refreshing pool, amazing food at the restaurant and perfectly authentic. The breakfast was also great, especially the coffee.
Penelope
I didn't plan to stay here, I booked it when my flight was so delayed I was stranded in Liberia for the night. I was a little worried about the \"great service, poor cleanliness\" reviews ... and had no reason to be. At worst, this hotel is plain, but it was certainly clean. The layout is easy to navigate, the pool is delightful, the room was clean, comfortable beds and adequate a/c in them. The breakfast (which is included!) was FANTASTIC. I actually moaned when I drank the coffee haha. And the service? Better than ANY 5-star I have ever stayed at. I would plan to stay here again. Thank you for treating me so well and making a terrifying experience calming and comforting.
Max
My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Las Espuelas Hotel. The staff was helpful and kind, the food was excellent, and the hotel and pool were beautiful. Thank you!

Jeremy R
Las Espuelas was a great stay for me in Liberia while I waited for transportation into Nicaragua. The property was beautiful, the pool and pool area tranquil, and the bar/restaurant/breakfast had delicious food.
Cynthia
This is a modest hotel that is well kept and well managed. The staff are gracious and helpful. It was the last leg of our 3 weeks in Costa Rica - close to Liberia airport - and convenient to local stores and restaurants. The grounds are spacious and beautifully maintained.
Richard
Nice hotel, needs a little maintenance, some stuffs are outdated, but overall it was a nice stay
Rachel
I didn’t like much, the restaurant was not very good and I got overcharged. Definitely don’t recommend.
Jeffrey
This is an inexpensive, clean, comfortable and safe place to hang your hat for the night. Good service and free Tico breakfast.
