I experienced some minor issue with the charges, as the hotel deducted the cost of one night before checking in. At arrival, I assumed that I would only have to pay the difference, yet they demanded that I pay the full price, even when I showed them the deduction from my bank statement. However, the manager quickly reversed the charges with no problems. The front desk agent Xavier was very welcoming and friendly. For the second arm of our vacation, we visited San Jose. Originally, I booked the hotel for 3 nights, but only stayed one night. The rooms are clean, but outdated, small, and misleading (website pictures look better than the actual room). The hotel needs renovation. The hotel is not suited for vacation and the manager was accommodating and assisted with canceling the other two nights. The breakfast was average. The kitchen staff were all very friendly.
