On previous trips to Costa Rice we have spend our first night near the airport in Alajuela but since we were not renting a car on this trip and needed to stay in San Jose so we could be picked up by Interbus in the morning. We selected the Dunn Inn based on good reviews along with it's price and location. Check in was fast and friendly. Our room was on the second floor and while small, it was comfortable. The bed and pillows were some of the best I've encountered in Costa Rica. Our room had a small balcony that looked over the street. Previous reviews complained about noise from the street but we thought it was pretty quiet and the only street noise was from the traffic that starts at about 6am. We felt very secure at the hotel as there was always a uniformed security guard at the front door and the room had a safe box that was just large enough to squeeze my laptop inside (15 inch screen). The bar/restaurant was a nice place to hang out and the food was decent. The hotel advertises free wireless Internet but I wasn't able to access it without the security code which the people at the front desk didn't know. There is a room with two computers for guests to use the Internet.

I thought it was a good place to stay and would definitely stay there again.

We stayed at the Dunn Inn for 2 nights for our last vacation to Costa Rica (the first and the last night due to the international flight schedule). It's a good option if you don't want to spend a lot of money in a not so interesting city. The rooms are clean and you are close to a couple of nice restaurants of the area.

We found this to be a very good hotel.
It is very clean, the rooms are of medium size, the bar and retaurent have a good ambience, and the staff were very helpful.
The price is very good value, at $57 a night. Breakfast was included and was sumptuous. Egss any style, bacon, sausaga, fruit, yogurt, cereal, milk, toast marmalade.

We found it hard to find, we find anywhere in San Jose hard to find.
The hotel map on the internet, had South at the top, which as a sailor I find difficult

We stayed at the Dunn Inn for 2 nights - one at the beginning of our trip in CR & one at the end. The reception was friendly, but somewhat incompetent (ex: didn't realize he could contact Interbus when we asked him to look into options for getting to Monteverde).
The rooms are small, clean & simple. Beware that they can be very loud at night (there is a casino & restuarant with nightly live music across the street, which can be annoying - especially when you have to wake up extremely early the next morning to catch a flight.)
