Nice hotel close in downtown, close to the shops, restaurants, market, bus terminals (Wagon, TUASA). Daniel is a good host.

Hotel is perfectly located for arrival and departure only 5-10min away from San Jose Airport. Hotel is in walking distance to great restaurants and the city is clean and safe. The only small thing I would suggest for improvement is the shower in the rooms. Not enough pressure on the water is you need to wash long hair. The staff is outstanding, and the best of our stay: from welcoming us, recommendations and to sending us off at 4am :-)

Las atenciones del personal fueron de lo mejor... siempre dispuestos a resolver dudas y dar opciones de comida y lugares que visitar. Y lo mejor es que está a 5min exagerando del aeropuerto

My husband and I stayed here for the night before we headed onward. The hotel is located 1.3k from the airport and if you are ambitious enough to walk it, you could. Hotel provided us with taxi help in the morning with taxi cab costung no more $4-$5. Our one night stay was perfect. In the evening when we got in we walked around the square and the near by mercado. There are lots of great coffee shops and restaurants around. The following morning we woke up to a free continental breakfast. Fresh fruits, toast and coffee. The owners are really nice and attententive and really want you to feel at home. Definitely recommend staying here especially if you have a layover or early flight. Or even if you want to check out San Jose area.

Had a really nice stay here. The owner was really polite and service minded and had a good sence of humor! We got a big room with comfortable beds and cushions. There was also an airconditioner in the room. The hotel was very close to the airport. Did not feel like the safest area but it was better than San Jose! Would stay here again!

Great stay, service was phenomenal. Jorge answered questions, helped me with rental car options and even offered me a ride so I wouldn't have to hassle with the bus. Easy access to airport.

La relación costo/beneficio es muy positiva en este hotel, pues aunque su ubicación es óptima para accesar al aeropuerto Juan Santamaría, su tarifa es más que razonable, además de que la limpieza de la habitación es extraordinaria.

The gentleman that checked me in spoke English and was very helpful and friendly - he helped me with arranging a taxi to the interbus pick up the next morning and allowed Tex to access a small backyard area so she could stretch her legs a little after the long day of travel.

Al llegar fuimos amablemente atendidos por Aldo, recibimos buena atención de su parte. La habitación pequeña con su baño privado pero bien para una noche que nos quedamos, un poco encerrada pero contaba con luz natural y un ventilador grande ya que la temperatura y humedad es alta en Alajuela. La cama era un poco suave para mi gusto pero pudimos dormir confortablemente. El desayuno está incluido y es continental de frutas y café y tostadas y lo sirven en un espacio muy agradable. Por su ubicación no cuente con Parqueo pero dejamos durante la noche el vehículo en un parque a 10o metros por 2500 colones. En general estuvo muy bien para caminar y recorrer el centro de Alajuela y disfrutamos de café en la esquina mientras llovía .

A great hotel for a night near the airport. The area looks rough....window bars and razor wire abound, but I think it's just because it's inner city. No AC, and the fan didn't do much to cool the room. Room was small. Breakfast was a nice surprise, simple but good and delivered to the table.

My friend and I needed a cheap, basic hotel for one night near the airport and this was an awesome option as oppose to a hostel. We checked in late and the reception guy (owner?) was so so sweet and friendly. Our room was super basic but very clean bathroom and bed with a powerful fan. Would stay again

The hotel is very close to airport. There are restaurants near by which makes it a great one night stay. No A/C but did have a fan. Clean room and beds.

We stayed in hotel santamaria for only one night when we arrived in san jose by plane. Everything you need is there and the staff is very friendly ready to help. very close to the airport but a bit noisy because you are in downtown Alajuela. Perfect for arriving/leaving costa rica.
