Sheets and pillows smelled like cigarettes!
My room smelled like cigarette smoke - which I am mildly allergic to. At first I thought it was second hand smoke - but during the night my throat throughly closed up due to the smell - which was both in the air and in the sheets/pillows. I did not sleep much but it seemed not worth the effort to move since we arrived after 11:30pm. Next time I would complain as my throat is still sore and tastes like cigarettes. Could have been from the laundry who washed them or housekeeper as I thought was a non-smoking hotel. Otherwise, everything else was fine - but cigarette smoke ruined the visit for me.

Great stay!
The front desk employees were so helpful. Helped with a lost book at the airport, how to use a Budget Enterprise map, and best of all so warm and happy. Delightful employees at the morning breakfast. The bus service to the airport was also a great help.

Good landing place near SJO
Our flight landed in the evening so we decided that we'd overnight near the airport and do the 2 hour drive to our destination the next morning. Just five minutes from SJO, this hotel is fresh and clean. The rooms are simply furnished with everything we needed for a comfortable night's sleep. An on premise restaurant was open until 11pm and provided us with a satisfying meal. Every staff member we encountered was pleasant and friendly. This was the second time we stayed here. Whenever we need to stay near Alajuela this is our go-to.

The staff couldn't be more accommodating and the manager, Leda was especially helpful. We were delayed at LAX and missed our flight because of the wildfires. We arrived on a later flight to SJO and missed our Saturday night reservation. The staff fed and took care of us - amazing!!!
