This property's claim to fame is that it's close to the airport. If your on a very tight schedule it may be worth putting up with its deficiencies but I suspect that even then there are better alternatives. The rooms are not big and the bathrooms are small with almost no counter space. The air-conditioning is inefficient and cycles all night and even with that doesn't adequately dehumidify the air - every where else I stayed in Costa Rica the AC was better and quieter. If the AC doesn't keep you awake then the airplanes taking off from the airport may - since the soundproofing is insufficient to block them out. The included breakfast is good - but even so I ranked below the 5 other places I stayed in Costa Rica. If your timing is off you will be sharing a small space with a loud and boisterous tour group while eating with plastic utensils off paper plates (again unique in my experience of Costa Rica). If you do have some time before heading out - there is very limited shuttle service to an interesting local mall. There is nothing of interest nearby, within walking distance, except maybe Denny's. Its on a very busy street with tremendous rush hour congestion so driving or taking a taxi is more time-consuming then you would expect if your looking at the distance between this place and other locations.

We were worried having a hotel room so close to a busy road and airport. Thankfully it was never an issue. The room was clean, comfortable, and void of noise. We slept great! The shuttle service is quick and easy. We chose to eat dinner at the Casino across the parking lot, but we weren’t impressed. There is also a Dennys. Recommend going there instead.
