A car would have been more helpful
The hotel is not what one would consider a normal run hotel. There is not desk to speak of. It is not manned. The owners live on property. They are very helpful with your needs. There is a office near the front door and thats where you go for help. If they are not there, there is a buzzer on the front door. There is a side gate that you use to enter and exit the room area. There is a pool but at my time there, they were filling it. Breakfast was included. They offer dish of fruit and a plate of scrambled eggs and fried plantains. If walking, go out past the park and go Left. Within 10 minutes is a small mall with bar/restaurants and on the backside there is a grocery store. Walk 10 more minutes and go across the cross walk, there is a mall with many stores and restaurants there. Buses are available on the main road to go to downtown San Juan. The back of the hotel faces the highway and you do get some noise from that in the room. No more than most hotels.

If you have no other option.
Poorly cleaned room. The pictures online are not a true depiction of the place. If you want to be close to the hotel and not bother with a commute, then it's worth the stay. If not, then there is no need.

This hotel was difficult to find but was quaint and clean inside. nice common area. Exterior needs work but good value for the price. Would have felt insecure if I had been alone. I would go again.

SCAM.
This was a terrible place! Firstly, it's a home, not a hotel. It's in the middle of a suburban neighborhood. There is no signage. I showed up and the place was CLOSED. Finally a "staff member" in his PJs came out and said his mom was asleep. Urged that we sign in (even though there was literally no one there) and showed us our rooms. When we saw the poor state and discovered that one of the rooms didn't even lock from the outside, we left the keys and booked elsewhere. FURTHER, when I requested a refund for the night that I DIDN'T STAY in the hotel, they rejected the request. Scam hotel.

Expected more
This is a very mediocre hotel for the area, there are much better options for a little bit more money. The facilities are not kept well, there is no parking, it is in a residential area, there is no staff (only the owners in pijamas). It all just feels wrong.

Convenient and clean hotel
This hotel was clean. All we wanted was quick access to the local fun things, clean beds and a hot shower which it had. The WiFi didn't really work for us but many local restaurants had free WiFi so we used it there. For the price we would stay there again. We have four kids and we often have a hard time finding places big enough for all of us. Our room had three queen beds and air conditioning as well.

Private Beach!!
I came to Costa Rica with my best friend and this was our last stop on our adventure. It was perfect - away from everything, we had the beach to ourselves and was able to relax. We rented boogie boards ($12) which was a great way to enjoy the beach. If you're looking for a secluded resort - this is the place!! On a side note I booked this hotel because it came up when I searched Manuel Antonio - this hotel is NOT in Manuel Antonio. If you don't have a car I would recommend arranging transportation in advance. At all the other places we stayed the staff provided us many transportation options - the only option at this hotel was a taxi. We were quoted $150 to San Jose and when we arrived the cab charged us $190 (was our first bad experience with a cab driver). This is a perfect place if you have a car!!

Bonito, Limpio, Seguro, Comodo and priced well.
Pedro and Anita were very accommodating during our (3 family member) 5 night stay at Hotel Puerta del Sol. Shopping (for groceries and otherwise) at the Cariari Mall nearby was available. The hotel is near the airport and the room was very clean and comfortable. The A/C worked perfectly although was not really necessary at this time of year in the Costa-Rican Central Valley. The amply sized room had a wide variety of cable channels a ceiling fan as well. The Hard Rock Cafe was nearby too! Hotel Puerta del Sol is priced in a manner that is proper, unlike some of the hotels in the San Jose vicinity. I recommend the hotel wholeheartedly. Pura Vida!

This place is very convenient to some good restaurants, some nice apparel stores, dry cleaners & laundry, dentist, convenient food shop. I is very close to the bus stop for going into San Jose central. A short ride to the airport. the hotel is in a very quite neighborhood. the owner is hands on. The pool is clean and nice temperature and the grounds are very well kept. This is the 2 nd time I have stayed and will go back again.
