    generous breakfast

    explore parks and landmarks with easy airport access

    During my stay, I loved the generous check-in and check-out times, which allowed ample opportunity to explore nearby parks like El Arroyo Park, just over 2 km away, and immerse myself in the charm of Alajuela. The hotel's friendly staff and filling breakfast were major highlights, making each morning enjoyable and energizing for my city strolls.

    varied breakfast
    limited dining options

    The stay was very convenient, being only a short shuttle ride from the airport. The rooms were clean and well-appointed, providing a comfortable environment for work. I appreciated the varied breakfast options, including gluten-free items, and the friendly, bilingual staff who assisted with my requests promptly.

    The room cost was higher than I expected.

    decent breakfast

    It was just a strong match for a weekend stopover in Alajuela with value for money. The breakfast options were decent, but I missed having eggs in my ToGo bag. Try to check in earlier than 3 PM to avoid any room mix-ups.

    fantastic location
    delightful variety
    limited dining options
    dependence on denny's
    nearby food choices

    The location is fantastic for airport access, and the hospitality is commendable with a friendly staff. Breakfast offers a delightful variety, including fresh fruit and locally caught fish. The shuttle service is efficient and operates around the clock, making travel seamless. However, options nearby for dining are limited, relying mainly on Denny's next door. Overall, everything was spotlessly clean but may benefit from more nearby dining choices.

    convenient location
    friendly staff
    tasty breakfast
    train noise

    The location is great for exploring Poas Volcano National Park and enjoying the nightlife in San José. Clean rooms and a friendly staff made our trip even better. The convenience of the airport shuttle was a huge plus, and breakfast was tasty! Also, there are shops nearby to grab essentials.

    One downside was the noise from the train near the hotel. It wasn't frequent, but it did wake me up a couple of times. Earplugs are definitely handy for light sleepers.

    The hotel was impeccably clean and modern, with thoughtful amenities like a convenient shuttle service to the airport. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, making my stay comfortable and stress-free—a great perk for seniors.

    Breakfast options could have more variety.

    The shuttle service to the airport was efficient and timely. The breakfast offered a good variety and was freshly prepared.

    The room felt a bit outdated.

    great breakfast variety
    long shuttle wait

    The complimentary breakfast had a fantastic variety, including fresh fruit and made-to-order waffles.

    We had to wait over 20 minutes for the shuttle to the airport, which was frustrating given the busy schedule.

    convenient location
    great breakfast
    overcooked eggs

    Had a fantastic stay with friends! We visited the Poas Volcano Nacional Park and enjoyed nightlife in the San José area. The location is super convenient, and the staff were friendly. Although the on-site dining option is limited to a diner, the breakfast provided is a great way to start the day.

    One downside was that the eggs at breakfast were overcooked. It could have been better, but it didn’t ruin our time.
