I highly recommend this Hotel, especially if you're travelling on a budget but want the 5-star treatment. Staff are very friendly and helpful despite slight English/Spanish translation barrier. The room was larger than I expected, and they had hot water (had bad experience in past with some locations not having hot water). Nice restaurants nearby. Location is good during daylight, but after dark exercise caution and use situational awareness.

Looks clean, but feeling unsafe because of the neighborhood and there was no private parking. We could park on the street but have to get up and move the car by 6 AM to a parking garage 1 or 2 blocks from there. We finally didn't sleep there and left for a different hotel without asking for the payment back (we checked in and stayed in the room for about 10 minutes and decided to leave).

Before I checked out I informed the manager, that the rooms stunk of mold, and that it was not necesary to have the room next to mine, vigorous, noisy cleaning at 7am, dragging furniture around. The hotel only had about 3 rooms booked. Totally unneccessary. my thinking is the client is number one. I said I would give his hotel a negative review, poor value for my money.

Stay away from this place

The room had a window on the corridor, but no window was facing the external of the building. The bathroom had a very noisy and broken fan. From the bathroom was coming a terrible smell of piss. I had to keep the door closed. The toilet seat was broken, it had a few holes. The bedsheet were clean but, like the blanket, they had holes. The place was really noisy, the bed not really comfortable. The neighborhood is not recommendable, it's a cheap hotel for locals. Don't go if you are a tourist.

The staff here were awesome! Everything I asked for was immediately taken care of.

At one point, I asked if they knew where I could get a couple of shirts repaired. They called a local tailor, who dropped by within a few minutes to pick up the shirts. Within an hour, I had them back, in perfect condition.

I'd always drop off my room key at the front desk whenever I left the hotel. Maybe I was the only one, because they always knew me when I returned, and always had my key ready for me, even when there was a long line of people checking in. I really appreciated that.

The property itself is modest, but comfortable. The rooms have good black-out curtains. They have some rooms facing the street. In those, there are some traffic noises, and you can hear some music and activity from the restaurant/bar downstairs. Personally, I liked that. They also have quieter interior rooms.

Basic hotel close to downtown San Jose & transport

Staff were very friendly & helpful. There was good security in the hotel, although the outside environs were a bit seedy. You need to take taxis for security at night (only $2 to take you to any of the bus stations), rather than walking or taking a bus. Room was clean but basic, quiet in the back of the property. Overall, if you're looking to save money, this is a good place to stay, one step above a hostel, so that you have a private room with a private bathroom/hot shower.

Layover Budget Motel in San Jose

Your average Budget Motel. The biggest perk being its near most of San Joses bus staions. Its very basic but OK for a day or two while waiting for your bus ride or flight.

Just for 1 night stand

Hotel is not in the best area of San José, you cannot walk alone, around the area during the night, but it is in the best area for bus stations to travel around Costa Rica, if you just need to past by San José for 1 night.
The light of the room was not working and they did not have a person to fix it.
Hotel has 3 floors but not elevator, internal rooms are hot, you better ask for an external view room, also they offer monthly options for you to stay.
