I looked for a good hotel near where I would be holding my meetings. Among the options, I found this hotel, which seemed fine. When I stayed there, I found a hotel with remodeled rooms, simple but new, as were the mattresses, towels, etc. The service was very friendly, and the breakfast was delicious. ##### JUAN Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Salvador Apr 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice comfortable hotel w excellent service Very nice, clean and spacious room and excellent service from the Capitan of the restaurant. ##### Salvador Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert Jun 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good location closer to the airport.

Only drawback - in the middle of a semi deserted area of abandoned apartment buildings, commercial buildings. Safe enough during the day - just slightly depressing and no place to walk ##### Isabella Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard Oct 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Noisy in our room.

Good breakfast. ##### Richard Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### DEBORAH Apr 7, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Hotel Autentico was fine, The staff are very friendly and helpful. My room was very noisy and I asked to be moved which was taken care of nicely. The hotel is a little dated and I didn’t enjoy my dinner in the restaurant. It was overpriced and not very good. Overall, the hotel was ok for the price. ##### DEBORAH Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Heather Nov 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good and quiet Hotel was nice and definitely offered good value for money. Breakfast was somewhat inconsistent from day to day, but good overall. Staff were very friendly and helpful, offering recommendations for drinks and transport. The location isn't ideal if you're on foot as the nearby roads are quite busy and don't always have traffic signals to allow for pedestrian crossing. That being said, Ubers were always around and inexpensive to get to the downtown centre. The hotel being slightly outside of downtown made it quiet, which was a plus. ##### Heather Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### farron Jun 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice property with garden, pool, restaurant. Very short drive to local dining options and easy freeway access to the airport. Secure free parking just across the street 50 yards. Rooms are quaint with good beds and nice hardwood floors. However, poorly lit rooms are smaller than average, shower water pressure is astonishingly low despite water flow to the faucet - plumbing issue. Bath towels are old. Overall, good hotel, but these small details prevent from taking it up a notch. PS - Is non-refundable, so if your plans change, must be willing to take the hit. ##### farron Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Graham Jan 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Enchanting Escape at Autentico Hotel I recently had the pleasure of staying at Autentico Hotel, and it exceeded all my expectations. The friendly service immediately made me feel at home, and the cleanliness of the rooms showcased their commitment to excellence. The authentic and delicious breakfast was a highlight, offering a delightful start to each day. While the rooms were generally comfortable, my only suggestion would be to add more pillows to enhance the bedroom's coziness. The hotel's location is superb, conveniently situated for exploring the area. However, the true gem of Autentico Hotel is its magical garden/restaurant. This enchanting space provided a serene escape, allowing me to unwind and indulge in the beauty of nature while savoring delectable dishes. Autentico Hotel is a haven for those seeking a perfect blend of comfort, authenticity, and charm. I wholeheartedly recommend it for a memorable and rejuvenating stay. ##### Graham Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### will Feb 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really disappointing stay at this hotel in a Deluxe Double Room. While the property was suitably clean, the rooms and amenities were pretty basic, poorly designed or broken — I had been staying a hostels in San Jose that were 1/4 of the price of this place which were in a better condition. Bathroom was a wetroom with the shower the same level as the floor, so the water sprayed everywhere. Plug sockets were falling out of the wall and room felt like a cell. The worst part was the staff. Rude at check-in, restaurant and management. I had made the mistake of booking this double room for one person on Expedia — it should have been for 2 but there was no difference in price on expedia, so I messaged the hotel in advance if they could amend. They tried to charge me extra when the second guest eventually arrived. I had a really frustrating conversation with the manager who was dressed in a hoodie and who couldn’t care less about the price on expedia or providing customer service. ##### will Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marcus Aug 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great stay ##### Marcus Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jill Aug 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It was a nice, simple, clean hotel.
