Really good overall stay, staff were friendly and polite. The breakfast had a wide selection and was tasty. Restaurant attached was good with a friendly staff. Would recommend.
The hotel was very close to La Sabana park. We walked in the park and also walked to the National Stadium to watch a soccer game. The breakfast was great, with lots of options. The pool was nice too. The apartment we stayed in had 2 bedrooms, which were small, but had plenty of closet space. The living room area was tight, but had enough seating for 4 people. Decorations were minimal.

3nights family trip in San Jose Costa Rica
Nice central location with friendly staff. Looks like a boutique hotel designed like a 5star affair (but do not expect lift/escalator) but safe inside closed-off (gated & covered) area for car park - compact cars only. No dishwasher either. Ancient model stove from 1950s. Radio Shack era phones. One thing I hated was their sly trick of naming their hotel as if it is a Residence Inn ..not related .. actual name is SUITES CRISTINA. Full service restaurant and room service was a plus. Reasonably good free breakfast and good wifi. Go for the 2 separate room models if you are traveling with kids.
