This property was a very decent stay and honestly a really good hotel for the price. One thing I really liked was that they have a restaurant connected to or near the hotel that also offers room service, which was a great convenience and a nice add-on during the stay.

The location is easy to find, and overall I had no real complaints about the property itself. The area around it is very busy though — the streets stay packed and driving on the highway nearby can be pretty rough, especially during busy hours.

The only thing worth noting is that between around 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., they close the gate and security monitors entry. It adds security, which is good, but if you happen to lose a key or need assistance late at night, you may need to find one of the security guards first.

Other than that, it was a good experience overall and definitely a solid option for the price.

This a boutique hotel with an old school western vibe. The outside of the hotel is beautiful the rooms are spacious but a little dated. The steakhouse next door was delicious and we received a discount for dinner. Breakfast was included and was also at the steakhouse next door. Even thought this property is close in miles to the airport it is not a simple or quick drive to get to this property or to get to the airport.

We arrived a couple hours early and were able to check in. That, in and of itself, is a win. Especially after a day of travel. The restaurant was delicious (a little spendy…) and everything else was lovely. There is a cat, who we named Pawl, hanging around and he is quite adorable.

We only stayed one night as we flew in late to Jan Jose, but were staying in La Fortuna for our trip. If we had been spending anytime at all in San Jose would have stayed longer. Really nice staff and courtyard was beautiful. Did not use the pool or game room. Breafast was great and complimentary with our booking unfortunately arrived to late at night to eat dinner at resturaunt. We did smell them prepping as we waited for our car rental to leave the next day. Smelled amazing! Wish we could have tried it. Ine last note, our flight got in after check in, and they had a bell hop waiting for us as our Uber pulled up, it was impressive. Highly recommend if you need a place to stay a few nights in San Jose.

The rooms are clean and nice, and the property is very pretty. That said, the staff were relatively rude/aloof throughout, with the exception of the breakfast staff that were very kind and accommodating. The property is nice but the location has very little nearby within walking. There is loud music playing until about 1030pm. The restaurant is great.

The room was fantastic, one of the best I’ve ever stayed in. The restaurant staff was incredible, and the food and drinks were made to perfection. However, the pool was dirty, and the female hotel front desk staff person was extremely rude and unhelpful. I had a friend locked in the gym for 25 minutes, and the front desk wouldn’t answer the phone to get help. Fortunately, the WiFi in the restaurant allowed him to contact us and secure his release, although it took some time. This is completely unacceptable and needs to be addressed. There’s no shuttle service; instead, you have to arrange a paid taxi service, or in our case an Uber.

Fresh food. They microwave the Huevos Rancheros so one may ask them to avoid that if you order it. Good morning breakfast service but it would be ideal to have a Buffet where one does not have to wait and one can get whatever one wants... and not order and wait 10mins for the breakfast.

Bed was comfortable and the bed was firm. Room was clean and everything was great.

This is a beautiful hotel. The room is spacious and very pleasant. The steakhouse is very nice. Although the shredded beef was a little salty to us, the food tasted very good with several tasty side dishes.

The hotel is great. The restaurant is great. Very professional. Great customer service. The only reason why I'm giving a four-star is because of traffic on the Main Street it's a nightmare.

Staff was OK, the room had bugs. There were bunch of tiny black bugs crawling in from window crack over that wall in the bathroom. Then we changed a room, it seemed OK at first then we saw bugs again by the window in the bedroom. We were too tired to change again and it was not as many as in the other room. We understand this is Costa Rica, bugs are expected but we didn’t have this issue in any of the other 4 hotels we stayed. The steak house was so-so, sauce was sweet on filet mignon which is strange to me. Will not stay in this hotel again.

There wasn’t too much variety in food selection. We asked waiter for hot sauce with our breakfast, he either didn’t understand or didn’t have any hot sauce, as he never came back. He also didn’t come back offering refills on coffee. When he finally returned he pointed us to the jug with coffee and water.

It’s a great option to be close to the airport, adding a shuttle will be excellent!
Also the bathtub on some or the rooms are not easy access so those are kind of dangerous.

Wow. This property can host any group. They have a little of everything and still very peaceful in the city. Whether it’s a family, friend group or solo traveler, they’re got it. Great parking, a lot of entertainment like pool, tennis, fine restaurants or bar. Very visually pleasing and easy check in. Staff is professional and the food is very good.

Parking wasn’t great. It was safe but very little parking. Reception actually made us move so owner could have our spot which was odd. They were having a wedding and it was extremely loud until 4:45 am. Tv did not work correctly. No blow dryer or coffee machine in room. Restaurant was okay but not great. Area was extremely sketchy and would never walk around.

We chose to stay in Rodeo for our first night in CR, as it was close to the airport and had a steakhouse so was a good layover option before touring.

The hotel is basic but clean and the receptions staff were very friendly. We were told there were no reservations available for the steakhouse. Fortunately we spoke to the restaurant directly and managed to get a table toward the end of service, there were no other dining options around the hotel had we not. The surrounding roads are busy and limited pedestrian footpaths (which appears normal). San Jose centre is around 16km away.

We booked a car via the hotel (separate company) but we are very dissatisfied with what has been supplied and not what was agreed and consequently overpriced.

We did not like that the restaurant closed early on Sunday. We were not able to have dinner there, as we had planned. Had to go off-site to dine. That was one reason we picked this place - ease of evening dining.

I stayed here for 6 days on my visit to Costa Rica.

The Good:
The steakhouse restaurant itself is very nice.
The staff is very friendly and professional.
There is free breakfast every morning,
Birds will wake you up (that's a good thing).
Security at the front gate.

The Bad:

We arrived during what appears to be hotel renovations so there were lots of bricks/materials laying around the property as you enter. My view in a king suite was bricks and steel rods.

The free breakfast only has 4 options so if you stay longer than a week you are eating the same food everyday.

The pool is at the front of the hotel - and while there it was not clean, so we never used it.

The king suite did not have a phone or an iron. Not sure how we are to order room service without a phone. Had to ask front desk for an iron.

I put the light on in the bathroom and was greeted by the largest cockroach I have ever seen in my life - talk about fear factor.

The hotel is on a busy street.

The rooms look old.

The front desk closes at 10. One night our key would not work so we had to look for security to get a new key at 1 in the morning.

Wonderful choice for our last night in Costa Rica. Better than the traditional airport hotel choices by a long shot, at a similar rate. Beautiful rooms, huge bathroom, and comfortable mattress. A little oasis in the city with a steakhouse on site. Loved our stay there!
