Lack of maintenance for the basic facility
We have to carry large suite cases to third floor. No elevators. The lamp is broken and the chair is wiggle as well as cloth hanging case. The water pressure for shower is so weak that the first night we did not take shower because there is stoppages of water use. However the location is very convenient, easy to reach all the restaurants. The hotels provide the complimentary breakfast and parking.

The hotel was SUPER clean, staff were all friendly, excellent restaurant (a full, delicious breakfast was included), and the LOCATION was fabulous. In the heart of downtown La Fortuna, it was easy to park, to walk to shops, restaurants (although we spent most of our time at the hotel restaurant) and it was easy to get picked up by the tour buses. The room was comfy and roomy for us and our two young adults. The double bed, two twin beds was a great option for us. We also really enjoyed the sitting area/balcony in the room. We can't say enough terrific things about this hotel. We will definitely be back!!

Very nice people and they arranged some nice tours. Tours were expensive but that is true anywhere in La Fortuna. Liked being downtown and not far away from city center so I could walk to many places including the church, cafes and restaurants. The tours they did set me up with were great, but be aware that the Volcano Hike in the combo tour doesn't take you to the National Park. People in the restaurant were great and the breakfast buffet was excellent. The room was quite small but great AC and was away from main road so very quiet. Saw a parrot on my balcony and the bed was comfortable.

Had a wonderful two night stay here last week. The staff was above and beyond, so courteous and kind, helpful and informative. This place is so cute and the breakfast was really good!! We had a room facing the church out in front and for it being right in the heart of downtown La Fortuna we didn’t find it too noisy. It was a perfect location for us next to so many restaurants and shops, pharmacy, etc. Also, when the sun is out from our balcony we had a great view of Arenal Volcano. The hot and cold knobs in our room were labeled wrong but not a big deal. Ac was great and beds were comfy. Definitely would stay again!

Good service and okay rooms
People at the front desk were really nice and helpful and they had a delicious breakfast every morning. The room was okay, felt a bit dirty as there was mold all over the bathroom ceiling and mildew on the lamp shade. The bed was comfortable to sleep but would only recommend to book if you just want a central hotel to sleep and not lounge.

Will not recommend this hotel unless you are on a tight budget or all other nicer places are booked already. The hotel is crammed including the reception which cannot accommodate even 5-6 adults. The reception area as well as one of our rooms smelled of sewer. It wouldnt go away. Was nauseating. The bathrooms are tiny and water would collect in the shower everytime you took a shower. Unhygeinic!! I had to ask them to clean the shower area as housekeeping wouldnt clean the shower area everytime they came to set up the bed etc.
i would not book this place again even if there were no options.
