The people there are very sweet very honest the parking is very private close door all the way. Many places to eat around walking distance 2 or 3 minutes away

Authentic Costa Rican Experience
The rooms were perfect for our family! The staff was very friendly and helpful. It was great to have the rental car put in their gated parking lot. The breakfast was great! There is a cute park across the street and many stores and restaurants in the area. It was nice to not be in a touristy area. There were some panhandlers that were a bit pestering in the park when walking, but it was great to have a authentic city experience in Costa Rica. The people in the area businesses were all very friendly.

One relaxing night
Our one night stay was nice before boarding out early the next day. Everyone was nice and made sure we had everything we need. We even got the chance to walk in the park.

Muy bonitas las habitaciones, pero son muy calientes. Había ventilador, pero el aire se mantenía. Sólo había una.ventana pero no se puede abrir por que da a una sala de.estar donde hay otros personas usuarias.

Room was very comfortable with AC, flat screen tv, mini fridge...excellent free breakfast at attached restaurant. Staff were very helpful and pleasant. You do need to request a room with AC otherwise you get a fan. AC was an additional $9 per night.

Nice, clean hotel with great staff!
Make sure you get an ac room because none of the rooms have windows to the outside, and they are very stuffy. But the ac room is fantastic, clean, well maintained and with great hot water pressure! The staff is very friendly, and the breakfast that’s included is yummy. The shuttle to the airport takes 5-7 minutes and costs $6.

They called daily to ask if I wanted room cleaned. Once I said yes and they did a no show. Staff were pretty nice. Food in area was poor chooses. They kept things tidy and secure. Good budget hotel. They need thicker windows in room as noise was easy to come through.

Excellent, affordable, breakfasty hotel near SJO
Super nice staff. Comfortable. Very convenient to SJO airport ($3 uber ride, $10 in regular orange taxi), excellent breakfast and convenient to food and other services in Alajuela.

Hotel de paso
Como hotel de paso está bien. Las habitaciones son pequeñas y casi sin ventilación. La ducha excelente pero la ambientación fue un poco decepcionante. La gente muy amable, como en todo Costa Rica. La zona donde está ubicado el hotel no es de las más lindas.

Good Hotel For A Night In Alajuela
Stayed here for a night before heading on to La Fortuna. The hotel was nice, the staff were friendly, and they feed you an authentic Costa Rican breakfast the next morning. Traffic in Alajuela is very heavy, so just park on the sidewalk in front of the hotel when you arrive. The desk can then open the gate to to parking lot and you can pull your car in there. Alajuela is VERY non touristy- meaning you get to see what Costa Rican culture is really like. Spending an afternoon wandering Alajuela's streets and eating with the locals you see a side of Costa Rica more authentic than if you only stay at the popular tourist destinations.

4/10 Fair

Never made it inside
By the time we landed in San Jose and picked up our rental car it was around 11pm. We drove to Alajuela and the little town seemed shut down, bars on windows, lights off. We tried to feel hopeful on the way to Eskalima but we were left disappointed and confused. No lights to indicate it was open and all the bars were closed. We felt uncomfortable in the neighbourhood and were unaware there was a doorbell we were supposed to ring to be let in. We chose to stay elsewhere.

4/10 Fair

Not accessible
room was tiny but clean. a/c was fine. but asked for a room on the first floor as there were several with the doors open and empty, clean and ready to go. I check in with 3 bags a cane and a prophetic leg and ask for ground floor. they proceed to put me on the 3rd floor and no elevator. then they state on page that there is an airport shuttle which there is not. not a happy disabled guy...

En enkelt overnatning
Vi boede der for en enkelt nat og havde brug for noget der lå tæt på lufthavnen. Vi synes det var et godt hotel med venligt og opmærksomt personale. Værelset var pænt og rent. Hvis man har brug for et sted for en enkelt overnatning vil jeg anbefale det, hvis man skal opholde sig på ferie i San Jose ville jeg vælge noget andet.
