7.8/10 Good! (59 reviews)
The staff was very kind and courteous. It is a family run business as are many smaller hotels in Costa Rica. We felt safe and secure. It was a very basic room , but it was clean and comfortable. Again, the staff was the best.

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