The rooms are very basic to say the least. For what we paid, been to many hotels in the San Jose gam area and this hotel was the most expensive so far, when we arrived the reception said they just finished preparing the room for us, there was 1 towel we were 4, the pillows were terrible. there was no soap in the shower. Not going there ever.
