Guests say
Overall, guests expressed significant dissatisfaction with the service and value for price at the hotel, particularly noting issues such as overbooking and poor communication. On the positive side, many guests appreciated the cleanliness of the hotel, as well as the quality of the breakfast provided. However, the rooms were described as small and dated, and the bathroom amenities often left much to be desired.

Pros (+) The hotel said that the first three floors had no water service and all floors above were booked. However, we went to the fitness center on the main floor and the showers were working fine. The kitchen on the main floor also had a water supply. We found out later that the water line was a lie. The hotel used that as an excuse to send us to another hotel because they had overbooked. The hotel they ...
Cons (-) Did not like anything about this hotel.

Pros (+) It was a good hotel for our stay in Costa Rica, but because of the location you can't walk to anything, you need a cab to go anywhere.
Cons (-) The food at the restaurant, especially dinner, was expensive and not that impressive.

Jesse, Oct 2016
Pros (+) Staff are highly friendly and bilingual. Some of them at least. It's right off the freeway and a good price for what you get.
Cons (-) Gym was hardly there at all. Fitness is important to me.I can improvise thanks to my training but I might as well have done bodyweight workouts. They didn't have someone at the front gate to let me in so I stood there for a while before crawling under the gate to open it myself.

Pros (+) Breakfast buffet was superior and the lobby, garden and the pool were beautiful. The staff were very helpful and kind.
Cons (-) You have to take a taxi everywhere, and the cabs that are available at the hotel charge a premium to get you to your next location. It was $12 for a cab ride to Centro downtown and $6 for the cab ride back.
