8/10 Good
"Location & Property: The hotel is a short drive from the airport, which was very convenient for us as we were renting a car the following morning to start our Costa Rica road trip. Room: Our room was clean and the beds were comfortable. It wasn't particularly spacious, but it had air conditioning and a TV, although there was no fridge. The room could probably use a bit of updating. The bathroom was clean and functional, with a shower and basic toiletries. They also provided a couple of complimentary bottles of water, which was a nice touch. Breakfast: Breakfast was very good, with a wide range of both hot and cold options to choose from. The quality of the food was also excellent, making it one of the highlights of our short stay. Facilities & Surroundings: We saw a nice swimming pool, although we didn't get a chance to use it as we left early in the morning. The hotel also has additional pools and facilities such as a casino, but we didn't get to explore them because of our short stay. All in all, a nice and convenient place to stay if you need to be close to the airport, especially if you're starting or ending a Costa Rica road trip. It worked very well for us as an overnight stay before picking up our rental car."
