Very Good for the price. Quiet area but walking distance to restaurants. A little cold on February night and no heater, but that is the norm in San Jose.

This was out second stay and it continues to be a great value. My only concern was that I was unable to get a warm shower which I really needed. Other that that, the staff is very helpful and the rooms are nice and a great value for the money.

I had a nice, useful description describing all of this, but Expedia's trash AI scanning for rule violations kept rejecting it for no actual discernable reason, so you get this useless blurb instead... since it's required... Good place; will stay again.

I have stayed at the Apartohotel Don Francisco many times on visits to San Jose. The location is fantastic, in a beautiful neighbourhood, and close to many stores and restaurants. The rooms are huge, and have a kitchen, which is great if you don't feel like eating out. It is much more like a private apartment than a hotel, at an affordable price. Automercado is located close by, for all of you grocery needs. It is quiet and comfortable, and the staff are fantastic and friendly. I would highly reccomend.

The directions were confusing and did not send me to the right area. I like that there is a front parking area for easy check-in as well as a gated back parking lot area for overnight parking. There are food options close by if you have a car, not really within walking distance. There was a pamphlet in the room with food delivery service options. The rooms are clean and I like that there is a kitchenette available in the room. The showers were a little weird with the change from extremely hot water to ice cold water while in use. I would stay here again.

Great location. Very close to Multiplaza and Hospital Cima. Place is a little old, bathroom had a stink to it and place was a little run down. But it was large in size and the front desk man was very helpful

Clean, decent room
This is the second time we stayed here. It is close( walking distance) to Dr Garita’s dental office & restaurants. The first time we stayed in a 1 bedroom apt n back which was quiet! This time we stayed in a studio off the lobby & we heard dogs barking & more noise. Also we had difficulty with the WIFi
