Best place to stay in San Jose City Center
This historic hotel has been renovated, keeping the original floor tiles in the restaurant, mezzanine, and entry lobby. The guest bedrooms and bathrooms are large, making the lodging very comfortable. The staff is cheerful, helpful and efficient. Rooms are vacuumed, linens changed, and bathroom floors mopped—every day of your stay. Exceptionally clean. The food is excellent, particularly the dinner menus, highlighting fish, shellfish from Atlantic, pacific and gulf, as well as regional specialties. If you are visiting for business-the key banks and government agencies are in this area. If you are a tourist interested in the museums, theaters and churches, this is an excellent location to lodge.

8/10 Very good

Excellent hotel, room, staff, breakfast, gym. The only downside is the location, which is in the old downtown. Not much to do there, no high-end tourist places, no good restaurants walking distance. Would rather stay in Escazu which is where the action is.

10/10 Exceptional

The view from our room of the adjacent park/plaza was great. The room was adequate. The waiters in the restaurant were phenomenal (Moises, Diego, Pablo, Marcela, Connor, and others. They made our meals outstanding. On the down side there is a minor complaint: the coffee pods were so dried out that they wouldn’t work in the in-room coffee makers. The maid Isera was very attentive. All went well. We will return.

Hotel was great. Nice restaurant for dinner. Loved the area around it. In the middle of many shops. Literally in front of the Opera Theater. Cons- after dusk the homeless/beggars are around and bother you as you are teyimg to sight see. But this is not a con to the hotel but of the area. So wake up early sight see and go back to room in the evening at least by 8pm.

2/10 Poor

Reception team, Jayson and Francisco were amazing, also the lady that made my breakfast was so friendly and kind. And that's it, I felt uncomfortable or disrespected as I interacted with the other restaurant folks and the folks in the 1st floor, seems like a corporate culture issue. Also, when I asked to see management they told me there is no management on Sudays, ans on Monday morning they were in a meeting so zero interest to listen to my issues.
