“Great beach hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 16, 2012

I would consider this place a hostel, just because of the friendly vibe of the place. The rooms are clean and the woman who works there always asks if you would like to have the maid service, or clean towels if you end up staying a few days. They don't mind giving you fresh towels and sheets every day. Free coffee. Small kitchen, so be prepared to wait a while if the hostel is full. Very close hike/walk to the waterfall, and thirty minute walk to the beach break outside of town.
One of my favorite places. Make sure you get a room on the ocean side, so you don't get bothered by the traffic in the morning or at night. There is a small dirt road outside the hostel but even though it seems like a quiet town, traffic in Costa Rica is generally very loud (no mufflers or honking rules).

“Clean Rooms, Poor Service”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed April 13, 2012 via mobile

We stayed at Hotel Lucy for three days. For 2 two of these, the wifi (advertised) was nonfunctional. On these same two days, the kitchen opened an hour later than it said it was. On two separate occasions, there was no toilet paper (not advertised but seemingly obvious) in the restrooms.

The rooms were clean and the beds were quite comfortable. Unfortunately, the owner, presumably named Lucy, was rude and short tempered. For someone trying to run a business, I would think she would be nice to her guests.

“Montezuma gem”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 10, 2012

There are a lot of places to stay in Montezuma, and since it is a rather known place by now a lot of them charge too much (especially if they can call it an eco-lodge).Hotel Lucy is a good deal, even though it is a little worn. The cleanliness is exellent, and they change your sheets every day.

Our double room (shared bathroom) had a well-working fan and mosquito net over the bed. We were on the first floor, facing the road. The traffic was a little disturbing sometimes. It's not a heavily traficated road, but sometimes trucks will pass early in the morning. It sounded like they were about to bust through the window! The shared bathroom is clean and tough there aren't that many of them I never had to wait too long.

It's right on the waterfront, but also a very short walk away from the town center. Also, there is a nice waterfall to cool down in very close. The kitchen is very basic, but ok. They have several hammocks you can lay down in.

Room Tip: Ask for a room facing away from the road.
