Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is not a nice place. It is the equivalent to a hostel. You share the bathrooms with the floor. There is 1 shower, and 2 toilets. It said it had parking but it doesn't. I get that it is supposed to be homey and quaint but that is definitely not the case. If you want something cheap to spend the night just to say you didn't sleep in your car which would probably be more comfortable then check this place out.

If you are looking to stay at a hotel away from the big chains, this hotel will give you the local CR experience. It is quaint and you will get a taste of the local culture. The only problem was the water was barely lukewarm. Not warm or hot shower available at this establishment. We stayed one night for the experience before moving to our final destination, and I’m glad we did.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
El personal de trabajo muy amable y atento. El problema es que ustedes ofrecían el Hotel como excepcional, entiendo que la habitación era económica, pero en ningún lugar decía que las camas eran súper precarias. Parecían camas de niño. La habitación que me dieron estaba pegada a la puerta de entrada con la ventana donde tocan el timbre. No dormí en toda la noche Entraba y salía gente y se escuchaban las pisadas porque el piso de madera hacía ruido. El lugar es lindo para alguien, quizás que quiera viajar de una manera un poco más rústica pero tienen que explicar que esa habitación que da la calle es imposible con el ruido, no se puede dormir, se escuchaba autos pasar corriendo, bocinazos todo el tiempo. lCusbdo llegaba gente se prendió una luz blanca que entraba en la habitación no era excepcional. Es un lugar que está bien de paso, pero no pueden ponerlo como excepcional. El staff si fue muy amable, pero el lugar no era como Expedia lo describió, como un lugar excepcional. Por eso mismo dinero podría haberme quedado en un lugar con un baño en mi habitación y sin tanto ruido. Cuando fui al baño que era compartido estaban las toallas colgadas de alguien que se había bañado y no habían tirado la cadena y había material fecal. Me gustaría que me reembolsen la verdad. Ya que no pegue un ojo en toda la noche.
