This is a traditional inexpensive Tico hotel. It has fans instead of AC, no pool, thinner walls than US folk are used to, no elevator front and center. But it is clean, safe, and costs half or less the rate of a US-style hotel. There is a mall, banks and restaurants within a half kilometer. It's good at being what it's supposed to be.

It’s between a very busy road and a railway line so noise might be an issue. Easy walk to shopping mall and plenty of restaurants/ bars. About 20-25 minute walk into the main business shopping area in town

Central stay with clean basic conditions

The owner of the hotel is very sweet and helpful and the hotel ( or better say hostel really) is centrally located, which makes it a nice stay. It is also clean. Amenities are basic, room is very simple, be prepared for a lukewarm water. But the price speaks for it. I stayed as part of the group travel so it was an agency choice which was obviously budget focused.

Hotel was your basic 2-3 star hotel. Bathroom sink and toilet were very close to each other (cramped). Faucet was loose and moved when turning on and off water. Soap in dispenser next to sink was solid and not able to dispense any soap. Window was covered and did not provide much natural lighting. Room was located near the front of the hotel so was subject to traffic noise all night long. The included breakfast was basic, eggs, rice & beans, toast, some fruit, coffee and orange juice. Can order eggs cooked to your preference and pancakes. Front door is always locked and must ring doorbell to be let in and attendant must unlock door for you to leave the hotel.

The trains! Hahaha!

The staff are friendly. Breakfast is ok. The trains that run behind the hotel starts around 430am-ish to 11pm and bothered me a bit(old trains,loud sirens). Good place to crash at night. Left my luggage there for a few days.
