Great for the budget-no-frills traveler!
We stayed here just to crash for the night before our early departure flight to SJO. I picked this hotel because it is just ~2 walking blocks from the bus station to the airport. It is also walking distance to a street that is lined with shops/restaurants/sodas and no car traffic. Check in was quick. Check out was great too because we left at 3:45am and the receptionist was there (lightly asleep on the couch) to quickly process us out. The room was mostly clean and spacious. I will say a cockroach ran into the room with us but we just saw one. And this is the city. And the price is fantastic.
