"Solid, well-located hotel that did exactly what we needed. We used it as a base for four nights while doing trips out of the GAM, and the location next to Real Cariari made everything easy, including a 2am tour pickup and quick access to the airport. Rooms were clean and comfortable, staff were helpful at every hour, and check in and check out were straightforward. Good value if you want something practical and well connected rather than a resort. Would stay again."

Carmen

"My preferred place to stay in San Jose (have probably stayed here at least 20 times, and I have stayed at many places in town so I have a fair idea of what's "normal" here even for the high-end hotels). Large and clean rooms, great location and staff. Only downside is there is no restaurant/bar in the hotel, rather in the separate casino which is a bit sleazy for my tastes. But there are decent restaurants within a short walk."
