The price was very affordable and the location was great. The problem was the overwhelming mold in the bathroom. We had to keep the bathroom door closed to contain the smell, but it was so bad, we could not be in the bathroom long enough to take a shower. This might have only been in this one room (it was 16 or 17). I would not stay here again.

Simple, clean rooms, friendly staff, great location to explore La Plaza de San Jose (especially on Thursday nights Art Walk). The on-site restaurant serves breakfast from 07:30 am to 13:30 pm.

A great place if you are looking for a clean room to sleep and explore the area. An easy walk to the bus stop “Ruta del Desierto,” which takes you to the airport and Los Cabos San Lucas (approximately 30 minutes, $45 pesos). You can take a leisurely walk to the beach (a 15-minute walk) and watch the sunrise.

The reviews for this hotel are either paid for or written by friends and cousins, because they’re extremely misleading.
Located in the ghetto. Wi-Fi doesn’t work in rooms farther down the hall. Only street parking is available. The toilet in our first room was basically just a decoration — it wasn’t even connected to the floor. No way a worker didn’t notice that. The rooms are right next to residential houses, so you’ll hear loud banging, dogs barking, and trucks that sound like they’re falling apart.
There were construction workers lounging outside—literally lying on the sidewalk and the stairs leading into the building—smoking cigarettes and watching cars like they were waiting for a chance to steal.

The hotel is right on the border of the tourist area. So we were able to have the best from the both worlds: breakfast and lunch from the public market and coffee, dinner and drinks from the art and tourist district. 35 minutes of a plesand walk to the beach (it was January, it can be hot in other seasons).
Breakfast and lunch at the hotel were OK if you like that sort of food. It was quite busy on Sunday because the place is popular with locals.
Hotel has its charm: built in traditional style with tile, stucco and dark wood. Somewhat crumbled bathroom. Shower head certainly in need of upgrade.
Next to the public market there is a laundry and we were able to wash our clothes just for 100 pesos for a bag.
Hotel personal was helpful. They called taxi to take us to the airport and helped with our luggage.

The location of the property is excellent if you’re looking to be close to the main square - about a five minute walk. It was a 20 minute walk to Walmart and just over 10 minutes to walk to the bus stop to get to Cabo San Lucas. It was VERY convenient!

The outdoor restaurant inside the hotel offered excellent service and a beautiful setting. I had breakfast there most days and loved sitting in the outdoor area after it closed in the evening.

The area around the hotel was very safe and quiet overnight. The staff were also quite helpful. I had to switch rooms though because I couldn’t get wifi in my first room. The second room had strong wifi but it was right beside another building which meant no natural light. There were a couple of issues though - the cold water shower faucet handle fell off, and the smoke detector started beeping in the middle of the night because it needed replacing. Initially the security guard wasn’t going to help me with the smoke detector but I begged him - it was 4am and I needed sleep.

The rooms were very basic but the bed and pillows were comfortable, and there was warm water.

Location Good, the Rest Very Average

It’s a good location, the outdoor patio is usually very quiet, but if you can avoid it, don’t get Rooms 10 or 12. Both are next to the hotel laundry which goes virtually 24/7 and is really noisy.
Breakfast is not included and for what it is, expensive. Also no ice available. Be prepared for a wait at checking in, the internet is slow and the two who checked us in looked and acted like they’d rather be somewhere else.
Our room needed a serious upgrade. Light bulbs that actually shed light might be a start.
I know it’s San Jose and touristy, but for no amenities it’s overpriced. You’re paying for a central location.

It is a nice little hotel conveniently located. Short walk to shops & restaurants. The area is rather noisy all night long. I love dogs, but the neighbor's dog barking every 45 min. right outside our window all night was a bit much! lol. Considering it was a one night stay till our flight the next day. I’d consider staying there again. Keep your expeditions realistic considering the area.

Hotel Posada Terranova is an excellent budget option. The location is perfect! Just steps from the centre of the art district and some seriously fabulous restaurants and culture.

This property is fairly quiet considering how close it is to the art district. Even on Thursday nights when the streets fill with people for the art walk, it was relatively quiet. Yes, there are a few neighborhood dogs that occasionally bark, and sometimes you can hear people out in the hallway or guests slamming doors (room doors and doorframes are wood so they close loudly) but I found it quieter than expected and slept well.

The beds are advertised as queen size, but they're doubles. They're quite short so our feet hung off the edge. Mattresses are quite worn and no longer very firm, but the pillows are really nice.

Rooms aren't fancy, but they're clean! Room and hallways always smelled fresh. Sheets changed daily. A/C was tough to figure out, but it did keep the room very cool!

No fan or window in the bathroom. Shower pressure was good and there was usually hot water.

The hotel restaurant has some great Mexican breakfast options. We ate there a couple times and enjoyed everything we ordered. Staff is very kind. I don't think many of them speak English and my Spanish is terrible so it was a bit challenging to communicate, but they were patient with me and we made it work!

Overall I'm very happy with our stay. Facilities are outdated, but they're clean, and the location is hard to beat!

Pros: Decent beds, sheets seemed clean and the pillows were remarkably comfy. The staff was very nice and helpful.
Cons: The beds were advertised as queen but they were not - they were doubles. The doors and door locks seemed very inadequate.

If you need a decent place to stay for a night, this is perfect. If you are expecting any type of luxury, this is not the place. The neighborhood seemed safe but there were annoying neighbors playing music and shooting fireworks until about 3am (this was Xmas day). The room had spots that were dusty so the cleaning crew could do a little better job.
