6/10 Good

The staff were very friendly and the rooms were clean. The a/c units needed replacing. The onsite restaurant was nice. We reserved 2 family rooms but were placed on opposite sides of the complex.

Perfect location for exploring the city. Near all of the activities and very walkable location. The staff is super kind and the rooms are very clean! The food there is also good and there are many other options within walking distance.
Olivia, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really great place to stay in La Fortuna, the breakfast is hosted in the attached restaurant and is delicious; lots of fresh fruit, traditional CR food. What I will say, is that there is a swimming pool but it’s right next to the restaurant so it’s not private at all. They gave us parking in a very safe lot which was great.

6/10 Good

The good: Very clean. The complimentary breakfast was fantastic. The staff was friendly. Convenient location for La Fortuna. Parking was convenient on the street. We were able to park right at the front door of the hotel both nights. The negative: Very very loud street noise made it very difficult to sleep. Room was small.

Very good and comfortable stay. Staff very helpful and accommodating. Prime location next to shops, bank, and most tours pick up from here. They can arrange shuttle or private transport for you to the airport, as well as book tours.

Loved this place and great staff and location. Restaurant was very nice as well. Only. Complaint was TV did not work. I would stay there next time again

8/10 Very good

Good service and okay rooms

People at the front desk were really nice and helpful and they had a delicious breakfast every morning. The room was okay, felt a bit dirty as there was mold all over the bathroom ceiling and mildew on the lamp shade. The bed was comfortable to sleep but would only recommend to book if you just want a central hotel to sleep and not lounge.

10/10 Exceptional

Staff were fantastic, from the front desk, to cleaning, to the restaurant. The rooms were adequate. Not a lot of options in terms of sitting in the room. We pulled the patio chairs in doors for seating. Location was central. Breakfasts were good.
Amanda, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Lack of maintenance for the basic facility

We have to carry large suite cases to third floor. No elevators. The lamp is broken and the chair is wiggle as well as cloth hanging case. The water pressure for shower is so weak that the first night we did not take shower because there is stoppages of water use. However the location is very convenient, easy to reach all the restaurants. The hotels provide the complimentary breakfast and parking.

Cute place for an adventure driven couple

If you want to stay downtown in a central spot this hotel is for you, right on the main road. The rooms don’t have a ton of wiggle room but you have everything you need. The bed and pillows were super comfortable and the rain shower always had hot water. Maid service was daily and she always made out towels into a cute design on the bed. Breakfast was descent as well with excellent coffee and choices for hot meals (scrambled eggs, sausage, rice), pastries/breads/cereal, and tropical fruit which was always ripe and tasty! Some mornings there were more options than others (like yogurt or pancakes). The parking lot is safely secured but about 2 blocks from the hotel. The pool is somewhat awkwardly placed—there’s no area around it where you can sit and read—but we mostly used this hotel as a docking point so we could do lots of activities, and weren’t interested in using the pool. Also it was a nice touch that they give you tokens to have a delicious welcome cocktail, and the happy hour specials in the hotel bar were very reasonable. I’d stay here again! I only wish they had travel bottles of shampoo and conditioner for guests—they only had lotion.
Katie, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Not a good stay.

The woman at the front desk was very unpleasant at check-in. She was aggressive and rude. We had two rooms, both were riddled with issues. The toilet in one room wouldn't work and the sink in the other room was leaking water all over the bathroom floor. When we tried letting the front desk know, she told my parents to stop using the toilet if it wouldn't work. Neither room could get the WiFi to work. Neither TV worked at all. The room we stayed in would not deadbolt lock and the door had a large gap at the top and bottom of the door. My husband found that it was because the top of the door frame was loose from the wall. Our room was booked for 3 people (2 adults and 1 child) and we only received 2 towels. When my husband went to the front desk to ask, the woman told him no more towels until we brought down 2 dirty ones. There are no phones in the rooms and no elevators so he had to walk up and down three flights of stairs to try to talk to her. Before you are allowed to leave the property housekeeping goes into your room and does a full inspection to make sure you didn't take anything. Because there was someone in front of us checking out, this process took about an hour.

Great location in the center of downtown La Fortuna easy walking to all the restaurants and shops.
Paul, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

My family including our 10 and 11 year old children stayed here for one night while we checked out La Fortuna to see Arenal Volcano and La Fortuna Waterfall. The best thing about this hotel is the convenient location to everything and excellent customer service. We only stayed one night so it did its purpose of allowing us to stay in a place for an affordable price. But if you are saying longer and want comfortable beds with a decent pool then I say book somewhere else. It's right on the main plaza in La Fortuna so it was loud (ear plugs saved us). I also would not recommend swimming in the "pool." I think it was more of a pond and it's situated right where the restaurant is so everyone can see you while they are dining. All in all, it was an ok stay. Harrison at the front desk was amazing with his customer service and answered all our questions. Also the free breakfast was amazing so that was a highlight.
The free breakfast buffet in the morning was excellent.
