Well when I reached the Corobici I really thought that it was rather nice. The rooms were up to my standards and the service was really good as well. Unfortunatley, when i went down to the bar they were charging $5 a beer and around $7 dollars a mixed drink. I found this to be ridiculous since beer is only $1.50 and mixed drinks are only $3 around the city and surrounding areas. Also, the Japanese restaurant was expensive and well everytime I ate there (which was only twice) my stomach hated me for it. Casino is absolutely horrible! Its small and reminds me of an underground sweatshop. Honestly they don't even have a bathroom anywhere near; you have to walk all the way back near the front desk for the closest bathroom. Breakfast was alright at best. They always run out of OJ since the rest of there juice taste horrible and very THICK. Also, if you feel the need to go to the supermarket, that is right across the street, you have to risk your life by running across 8 lanes of traffic with cars and buses driving around 50-60 mph. They really need to build a cross walk to escort people safely over the bridge. I would say if your looking for something just for a night or two Tryp Corobici is the place. If you looking for a place for an extended stay go somewhere else like the Marriot.

Hotel looks like it needs work from the outside, but the rooms are actually quite good. Coffee maker in room. Asked for and was provided with an alarm clock, iron & ironing board, and an extra luggage rack. Extra packets of coffee had to ordered the night before, as you couldn't get them brought to your room in the morning before 7am. (If you're staying more than one night, extra packets of coffee must be asked for...). Good supermarket just across the street, as well as a major bus stop for going into the center of San Jose. Pool is fine and the restaurant serves a pretty good steak (lomito). Internet in the business center is quite expensive, but if you happen to wander to the 6th floor, a lone computer there (in a little lounge across from the elevator) tends to have free Internet ;-)

My husband and I spent our last night in Costa Rica at the Tryp Corobici. The morning after we arrived in the USA I noticed a series of bites in line on my body. Diagnosis--bedbug bites! Check your mattress, rug, and bed clothing!

I spoke with Trip over the phone and they spoke about the great pool they had on site. Upon arriving, they told me that pool was under construction - there was no water in it at all. The rooms were ok for the price, and the majority of the staff was friendly, but one staff member was very rude. I went to buy something in the gift shop, and she had me wait about 10 minutes while she spoke on the phone to one of her friends. I just wanted to buy and mail a postcard. When I asked if she could mail it (you can pay one dollar and the gift shop will mail it for you) she said ok and come to find out, it never arrived! I guess I shouldn't have been surprised after how she was acting.
