The address is for an entire city district, not the property. Communication is bad. After 4 hours of trying to get directions and check in details I gave up and took a ride at the scheduled check in time to the address given by Hotels.com and was dropped off with no sign of the property. I got lucky - an English-speaking stranger passing by knew where it was and walked me there, several blocks away. There was no one available to check in and no one answering the door. It took several more phone calls to get let in. Nina is very nice but the directions and communication are awful!

Breakfast was alright. Customer service is HORRIBLE do not stay here.
VERY Clean and helpful, I arrived an hour before check-in and was able to get my room right away. City Mall, Wal-Mart, and restaurants are within walking distance.

Hotels.com failure
I did not stay. I was unable to arrange transport from airport even after calling, I took a taxi. I refused to stay because it is located in an unsavory area, looked like a regular house with fences--looked dangerous. Unable to contact Hotels.com for help; unable to cancel. Had taxi take me to a safe hotel where I felt safe.
Bare bones, but the room was clean and the bed comfortable. There was bottled water in the room and a hot shower (which in Costa Rica is not always a given). I was pleased, too, that they did come pick me up at the airport even though my plane arrived after stated shuttle hours.
The proximity to the airport, the price, the airport shuttle service is what brought me in to put my money down. This place is very clean very quiet and I would stay here again. The next time I come through.
The room was clean and quiet sufficient for our short stay. There is a fair amount of traffic noise, which was workable. The main problem was the pair of barking dogs also staying in the building. They barked loudly every 30-60 minutes all night long. It was not a restful night of sleep for us and would likely deter us from returning.

Very little for that much money, not staying there
Room with no window about the size of a king size bed. Hard to find no signage. With help of neighbours were able to find address but it took a while to get host to respond, ended up we were standing out front still unsure of location. Found out we were given wrong room, as another guest was also confused .
Tenía un olor raro pero era como viniendo del desagüe, pero en general todo muy bien y buena atención, también me fue fácil de encontrar con Google maps
A convenient smaller property located 5 mins from sjo Airport. Modern and clean rooms, but no a/c. Nice backyard to sit in with cooler air than room.
Needs better signage or directions for uber/taxi.
