CCHENGLIDuring the three nights I stayed, I changed rooms in the next two nights, but found that the sound insulation of the rooms in the next two nights was relatively poor, and the bed sheets also had red blood-like stains. Other services are great, breakfast/gym/swimming pool, etc.

TTessa_assetUndiscovered gem of a hotel near San Pedro.
Pros: We were looking for a place on the lower end of the price spectrum that was a one night romantic getaway for two, that I could also use my free trip coins at toward the cost of the room. Preferably including breakfast and a swimming pool with jacuzzi 😉 Not much to ask!
We booked one of the cheaper rooms on the ground floor.
Before check in we took an Uber to San Pedro mall to do some essential shopping and see a movie. Then we checked in and I relaxed in the jacuzzi under the San José night sky while my husband enjoyed a full workout in the gym/weights room. TV with cable was great for my husband who enjoyed the football while I enjoyed the hot shower and relaxed in the bed afterwards. We had an amazingly comfortable sleep and a delicious breakfast in the morning of gallo pinto, fresh tropical fruits, freshly squeezed watermelon juice and hot coffee. A generous check out time of 12pm meant we had more than enough time to get our things together and leave when it suited.
Cons: Not many cons at this price point and value. The guy at the desk was a bit weird when we asked him for a second glass for water as there was only one in the room but not a big deal. We also had to ask him for the TV remote. The towels were a bit small like a mini dress on me after my shower. But good quality (with a third extra towel for the jacuzzi) and high quality bed linen. It also is in a slightly rough looking neighborhood but this is not a problem if you travel to and from the hotel by Uber or use a hire car (which you can park privately inside the property).
Overall impression: The other photos on trip.com and similar booking sites do not do this hotel justice - it looks far better in person. It has real character since it is a restored historic hotel from an era bygone, but that is why everything is such high quality from the bed linen to the floor tiles. Everything is also in good shape and freshly painted. There a little hidden nooks around the hotel that make it very charming. The breakfast area is lovely and the jacuzzi, pool and water slide were a real highlight. We WILL be back.

Iisa.mendezThe exteriors and the pool are nice but the rooms are very old and the smell was very bad inside, i think maybe because the carpet looks also old and dirty. I had to change from the first room because of that and the second one wasn't much better. The breakfast is buffet but very basic with a few options so i just got it one day. The a/c very old and noisy during the night.

GGuest UserThe hotel is more than 20 minutes away from the airport, with a garden-like pattern, more flowers and grass, good air, and lots of parking spaces. The house is a two-story building, separated one by one. The room is a family of 2 rooms and 2 halls, with outdated facilities. Although there are refrigerators and cabinets, it is not necessary for people staying in the hotel. The most important toilets are small, the shower heads are poor, and the hot water is not hot, so people ask for repairs. It may be that locals are used to showering with warm water. There is very little variety for breakfast and average for dinner. The overall evaluation was embroidered pillows, which were not useful. Poor check in experience!

GGuest UserWe had a good time while staying in the hotel rooms were clean and very quiet at night breakfast was very good and the hotel is close to downtown as well as to the airport. Staff members were very friendly and helpful

JJJin87The hotel is a lot smaller than the pictures. The room is also small but has great shower and comfortable beds. There is no free parking, the reception will provide a voucher and you need to pay $7 to park next door. The hotel location is awesome, you can walk to most of the attractions. Breakfast buffet is great.

GGuest UserI was happy to find an AirBnB close to the Terminal Bus and to have a 27/7 service, because due to my flight; I was able to do the check-in at 1:30 am
I will note this Hotel for my next trip to Costa Rica.
Thanks to Trip.com & Milan Hotel.
