If this place was locally owned I would cut it some slack. It's owned by the Best Western and it looks like it is owned by the woman in Great Expectations. This place hasn't been updates since 1990's. It's run down and semi-comfortable. For what you get, you're better off supporting a locally owned hotel and not a huge chain... More

This hotel was our first stop for the night when we arrived in Liberia, Costa Rica. We arrived at dinner time on a Wednesday night. The hotel is located about a 10 minute drive from the airport and about 5 minutes from the majority of car rental agencies. Check is was easy and the young woman working at reception was... More

Stayed there for three days. Room, bath, and beds very comfortable. Daily free breakfast including FRESH FRESH tropical fruits! Nice swimming pool and hot tub, also a cute little playground. One night the hot tub wasn't warm when I got there, but the staff immediately set to remedy that -- in an hour it was ready to go :) Staff... More

We used the El Sitio as a stop-over for 5 days before catching the flight home at the end of a 10 week backpacking trip through Central America. After the open sewers of Nicaragua, the El Sitio seemed, at first, to be paradise. It is a basic Best Western that we were able to book on-line. All good so far.... More

If you want a comfortable, down-scale, but clean safe stay for a night or two, this is just fine. The staff was very accomodating, the room was simple, large, but plain. Definitely was clean and well kept. Could use an upgrade, then I expect it would be more expensive. There are in room safes, but ask because some of them... More

Check in was easy, desk staff spoke good English, and were very helpful. Rooms were plain, but quite acceptable. Air conditioning worked VERY well. More than enough hot water in shower. Bed and pillow were comfortable for me, although my spouse thought the bed too hard. The casino is closed (or never opened), but we weren't interested in it anyway.... More

First of all, they have no elevators, so if you're on the 2nd floor, you get to carry alll your luggage up the stairs.Second- there is no casino, as stated on-line & on the hotel sign. The A/C was terrible & did not work correctly. It probably cooled the room to 85*.There were dead roaches in the room.The beds were... More
