For a City Hotel quite comfortable *

Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A A

We were greeted by Iberia in this hotel, because our flight was delayed by one day. Staff at the front desk despite a long line (about 300 passengers) very friendly and competent, special requests (for example for a second toothbrush) were immediately fulfilled. Rooms typical for a city hotel, but clean and spacious. Since there was nothing to complain about. Buffet for dinner, not very diverse, but both the quality and taste of the food were very good. Also breakfast buffet was good. The building itself looks a bit old-fashioned and not very attractive, but in good condition. All in all not a bad choice for business travelers. For the beginning of a round trip we would but for a place to stay in Alajuela (there there were many small, intimate accommodations-> recommended is about the Vista Linda Montana in Tuetal Norte) recommended.
