My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The location was perfect as it was in a nice residential area with easy access to everything I needed. The staff were super helpful and friendly, always ready to assist. However, the dining options left a lot to be desired, feeling quite basic. While the rooms were generally clean, some could use a bit more space and better odor management.

I had a pleasant stay overall, with the hotel located in a nice residential area of Escazu, close to shopping and restaurants. The rooms were spacious with big windows allowing for a lot of light, even if they faced the street. While the staff was helpful, I did encounter some unkindness from one member. The dining options were decent but could use a bit more variety. It's a good spot but improvements could be made in certain areas.

My stay at the hotel in Escazu was quite pleasant overall, nestled in a nice residential area with easy access to amenities. The rooms were spacious and provided a good level of comfort, but the service left a bit to be desired, as I encountered an unfriendly attitude from the staff. While the dining options could have been healthier, I appreciated that it was convenient to find places nearby for food. Overall, it offers decent value for a comfortable stay, but there are areas that could use improvement.

The hotel is conveniently located, perfect for those who want to explore Escazu while staying away from the hustle and bustle of San Jose. I found the rooms to be spacious and comfortable, with large windows giving an inviting atmosphere. The service was a mixed bag, as I encountered some unfriendly staff members. Breakfast was a bit basic, but there were enough options to get me started for the day.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, especially because it was located in a nice residential area of Escazu, which made for a peaceful atmosphere. The staff was incredibly accommodating and helpful, and I appreciated that the whole place was clean and modern. On the downside, the room next to the street made it a bit noisy at times, and I thought the dining options could use some improvement to make them more exciting.
