Great little location, 5 minutes from the airport. Room was spotless and had all the basic accommodations. All communications are done via WhatsApp and it all worked well for me. The location is walking distance (8-10 minute walk) to the City Mall. Area feels relatively safe. They offer shuttle service to the airport, but Uber is available and not expensive in my opinion (4000 colones plus I gave 1000 tip). Can't beat the price for the advantages of the location. Will use again for my early flights out of CR (I had to be at the airport at 3:00AM - this place made it super easy to plan for that for less than half of other hotels in the area).

We didn’t even get in… We told her that our flight was getting in at 12:05 AM so we never got to the place till 1 AM. We had no code to get in so basically I lost my money and had to go find another place at that hour of the morning.

Could be better, but it was fine for a place to sleep and nothing else. The room I bought was supposed to have AC but it did not. Also the shower had some kind of soap but no label on what it was… could have been anything so I didn’t bother using it.

Bare bones, but the room was clean and the bed comfortable. There was bottled water in the room and a hot shower (which in Costa Rica is not always a given). I was pleased, too, that they did come pick me up at the airport even though my plane arrived after stated shuttle hours.
