Awful shower, miserably uncomfortable bed, unfriendly staff. The location’s fine though.
3-night trip

8/10 Very good

They provided unlimited shuttle for $20 which really was helpful in getting around the local favs Cleanliness is an issue as there were the dirty house flies in bathrooms that would fly at night in your face. It was quite yucky. Also there was some other hotel/ba r close to la choza that would blast extremely lod music every night until 3am. So very very hard for light sleepers
shveta, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Air conditioning not working properly. TV also not working at all. Breakfast was not good enough. Street work nearby the hotel, but the hotel didn’t advice about this. Not space to park the car (parking lot).
Waldin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good location, friendly staff, free tasty breakfeast and coffee. They offer a free shutle to the free hot spring/lake. You can use the kitchen to make dinner. They offer transportation from SJO. The bad aspect is that you can hear every noice, the bed was hard and we could feel the springs, and the interior is old.
Mahmut, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very simple hotel. We were hardly in the room. Rooms were fine, fridge, good AC. Service was very good. In fact we left our passports in the safe and the staff helped make a special trip to San Jose to bring our passports last minute. That was amazing, We definitely recommend looking for an economical yet comfortable stay.
John Mark, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place was beautiful. The staff were amazing, the food was great, & the front desk guy was super helpful and patient with all of our questions and with recommendations. There is A LOT to do in this area. I would highly recommend staying here :)
Anna, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

A localização é ponto positivo. O ponto negativo foi que alugamos um quarto com banheiro privativo e, infelizmente, o chuveiro não esquentava e tivemos que utilizar o banheiro geral. Na descrição constava ventilador e não tinha. Não foi possível usar o ar ja que o barulho era grande. O plus foi que precisamos ficar na cidade ate as 14hrs e permitiram, sem custos, que ficássemos ate as 13hrs. Retornaríamos para hospedar no Choza Inn solicitando um quarto melhor

8/10 Very good

OK

I was only here one night, in a private room. It was about as basic as it gets. The bed was okay but I could feel the individual springs. The included breakfast was alright but nothing spectacular. The staff were all very polite and professional, but the property itself was very much the stereotypical hostel, passable but not memorable.

Sympathique, tout est ok . Le wifi ne se rend pas dans les chambres mais dans l’entrée avec des fauteuils.Les gens sont tranquilles et sympathiques. Clientèle jeune. Stationnement facile à l’hôtel ou à la rue. Pour le prix tout est OK.

Towels smelled soooo bad, I needed to close the bathroom to sleep. Sheets weren't as bad. This was a last minute decission for me, but if you have time, look around more.
