The hotel is really old. The carpet in our room was constantly moist and the shampoo amenities would fall down.

Friendly staff. Exceptionally clean, modern hotel. Close to airport and appreciated the shuttle. Not walking distance to anything other than mall next door. Unfortunately didnt have a chance to have a swim in tbe pool. Thank you, the hotel suited our brief stay in Alajuela perfectly.
