We stayed for 3 nights and found this to be fantastic value and ambience in the retaurant. The staff could not do enough for us and most were fluent in English. It was walking distance to downtown but away from the overpacked night time crowds in the city center. The restaurant has an outdoor patio which gives a European feel... more

This is in No way a quality place to stay. It is located Over the hill from town in a darkly lit area. This hotel is in an area that you do not walk anywhere. Aside from that, The hotel only has finger food room service until10:00 and if you want something to eat you need to take a cab... more

Not sure why our travel agent recommended this place. It is in sad need of an Extreme Makeover... peeling wallpaper, water stains, etc. And the clientele was a bit questionable at the late hour we checked in. Included breakfast was average. Overall service was slow and somewhat incompetent. more

The hotel is in a great location, but the bed was hard and the pillows were harder. The towels and linens were old, gray, and not fluffy in the least. The view was the tops of tin roofs. The ceiling was made of those loose, drop in tiles, and they would flap up and down in some spots when a... more

We booked a night in this hotel on our way out of Costa Rica after staying on the Pacific Coast. It was rated very well by Fodor´s 2008 guide to Costa Rica. When we arrived, we were extremely dissapointed. It was dark and creepy, and felt like it had not been remodeled since the 1970s. VERY CREEPY- stay away! And... more

I have stayed at the Clarion Amon Plaza several times over the last few years. Although the hotel is not new, the rooms were always clean and comfortable. I recently returned to the Amon Plaza to find the hotel in a sad state. The rooms that my group were assigned were very worn and dated. The beds were sagging, the... more

This hotel is sorely in need of a remodel and upgrade of bed linens, carpets, drapes, etc. The shower was very dark and had a loose fan cover hanging over the top of it, with mildew in the corners. Ewwwwwwwwww. Hard bed. Noisy location - we heard gunshots at night. I wouldn't stay here again if they paid me. more

Though ageing a bit, this hotel has a great location, excellent service staff, and value rates. The rooms are clean and for anyone doing business in San Jose, it`s a good choice. They also have an unlimited international calling plan for $20 a day. more

Stayed three nights. Convienent and nice. New owners (American hotel group) so more English friendly than before. Good casino and lots of restaurants nearby. Hotel is in the process of taking over and changing restaurant which is good because the food was okay but expensive and all Italian. TV's could use an upgrade but I didn't go to watch TV.... more
