We only stayed here for two nights, once at the beginning of our trip, once at the end -largely because of the proximity to San Jose airport -but I would certainly stay there again and would recommend it to anyone. The family are extremely nice and friendly, they provide a very good shuttle service to and from the airport,and they... More

We have been traveling to and from CR for 20 years and often need a short stay, convenient, hotel near the airport. Arturo and Sary, plus their boys, provide an ideal please and great service. They provide prompt shuttle service, excellent clean rooms, and very friendly advice and recommendations. And you cannot go wrong with the price. More

Although there isn't much to do in the immediate area, we enjoyed our stay here tremendously. It is very convenient because of its proximity to the airport (the hotel also provided transportation to the airport, which was very much appreciated!). The room and amenities were great, and the staff was very helpful. More

All the staff at the Hotel is very helpful and warm. I stayed at this location because its proximity to the company I was visiting for work and also to avoid the crazy traffic to/from San Jose. The rooms are comfy with free wifi, the breakfast is very nice and the bus stop to San Jose/Heredia is very close in... More

First this Inn is really a bed and breakfast. Second there is NO reason to stay at this inn. I would rather sleep on the street than stay there, if you think standing on the bed to turn on the air conditioner is okay or swatting mosquitos in your room is okay then stay there. There are other reasons not... More

The hotel staff and ownership were great. I was welcomed by Ricardo who spoke great English and explained the hotel and surrounding area. The owner, Arturo was extremely helpful in giving directions to various restaurants, and the housekeeping staff handled the one challenge I had within about 15 minutes. The breakfast was good and cooked to order, and the general... More

The ladies at this Inn were very helpful. They picked us up from the airport, gave us a nice breakfast, took my children to a restaurant to get dinner food and took care of our room after we were very sick. We appreciated their flexibility and care. After some rigorous travel we were thankful to return to the Inn (where... More

We stayed here our last night in Costa Rica, so that we would be close to the airport. We had a nice, clean room that accommodated everyone comfortably. The staff/owners were helpful in assisting us in making some last minute purchases before we left. We had a very early flight and the airport transportation was very helpful. More
