I liked that the hotel was away from the busy town and had a cute cafe. I used to stop by for my favourite ice coffee but they didn't have the ice coconut coffee anymore and the furniture and decor has been less appealing. The three flights of stairs was kind of a bother, especially if you have a few heavy luggage and you have to make a few trips. I had a hard time getting out of my room because the door knob came off, minor fix but for someone else it might be a big problem for their security. Breakfast was included but was mediocre. Taxi was over 12000 colones, 24 USD for a five minute ride. Nice driver but too expensive.

Place needs some attention
At first I thought the bed was broken, but no, it was just missing an entire wood slat, what is frankly ridiculous considering how easily this can be replaced the same day from a nearby hardware store. The interior bedrooom door handle popped off with the door closed, thankfully I was able to get it back on and open the door, what can also be replaced easily and cheaply. The bathroom sink has a fairly bad leak, but the solution was to put a to-go container under it rather than to fix it. Likewise the shower handle had a massive leak so pressure is directed away from the shower head. Then, I chose this hotel in part because they have a coffee shop downstairs that was supposed to open at 7am and have breakfast, but no, I was told they would show up at 8am despite the sign saying 7am, so I left hungry.

My stay was wonderful, such a warm welcome from the hostess Karina who with her kindness made it feel like home, she went above and beyond to accomodate. Having the cafe right there at the hotel was such a treat, so much love was put into the food, I had the most delicious chicken sandwich, it was so good I had to get a second one to go on my way to the airport which was close and easeful to get a taxi to. The room was simple, clean, spacious and modern, very comfortable. Muchas gracias

Stay was good, but we booked a room for 2 people, when it says breakfast included it only includes a breakfast for 1 person. That’s what we think they can improve. It is confused

Definitely recommended for a budget stay near LIR
Basic room, this is not our first stay here. The price is right for an overnight stay and only 7 min. drive to LIR. The shower plumbing issue is always an issue and the pillows need to be updated. The AC unit takes forever to cool the room. Thankfully, the barking dogs next door get locked up at sunset.

1st time in Costa Rica
Communication was great. Coming in after hours, it was easy to find and follow the instructions to get into the room. Air conditioning was so-so, but did the job! The room had a fan also. So it was comfortable. The breakfast was amazing! So good! Great place to stay for the night if you need to be by the airport.

Too isolated. If anything was to happen or you have a question, you are alone. We spoke to the Manager about arranging a cab to the airport at 5:30am. She assured us she would arrange with 'their most reliable driver' we would be picked up outside the hotel. Spoke 2X to her about it. At 5:45am we were still standing outside in the dark waiting for our cab. She did not respond to our WhatsApp message. By 6:00am we were asking anyone who walked by the hotel to help us and call us a cab. We were the last people to check-in for our flight. Bed was comfortable. Dogs in adjacent property bark all day and night. Room was clean. Hotel is 'under construction'.

PLEASE DO NOT STAY HERE
I try not to write a negative review on a hotels. Even if the service was bad, I think maybe they had a bad day, or not enough staff. But with this hotel I will give them the worst review I can imagine. Online it looks good, and it said it was a home feeling. But it was the worst mistake for my family of five. 1- they never gave us breakfast, even though online said free breakfast 2- we had to pay $20 US, for the shuttle for my family for a 10 minute ride. I go to the owner and said to her there’s supposed to be a free shuttle. We have no shuttle we depend on other services to get you there. She said I’m sorry 😢 I was mad because her sorry is not fixed me paying for something that every hotel gives for free. 3- no towels in the hotel, just one hand towel. 4- No shampoo 5- No microwave 6- No mini fridge We had a one (1) air conditioner for a two bedroom and a kitchenette We also asked for a cot for my son and we were told that would be an additional $20USD EVERYTHING WAS TERRIBLE
