Staff is always friendly, also 24 hours is a plus. The breakfast in the morning is cheap and the perfect start to your day!! Walking distance to downtown for shopping, food, museums and transportation is in abundance.

Great place in San José
It's a simple and cozy place. Great service, I get way earlier than expected and they allowed me to early check-in. Staff has great service and it has good restaurants for breakfast and lunch nearby. I will totally get back and I recommend the place wholeheartedly

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Loved the available coffee and the breakfast was great. The gate to the front entrance was very squeaky and slammed shut throughout the night making sleep very difficult. I'm sure this was due to inconsiderate guests, but there is a definite party atmosphere with the Backpackers Hostel right across the street. Not ideal for folks who prefer quiet.
