This property's claim to fame is that it's close to the airport. If your on a very tight schedule it may be worth putting up with its deficiencies but I suspect that even then there are better alternatives. The rooms are not big and the bathrooms are small with almost no counter space. The air-conditioning is inefficient and cycles all night and even with that doesn't adequately dehumidify the air - every where else I stayed in Costa Rica the AC was better and quieter. If the AC doesn't keep you awake then the airplanes taking off from the airport may - since the soundproofing is insufficient to block them out. The included breakfast is good - but even so I ranked below the 5 other places I stayed in Costa Rica. If your timing is off you will be sharing a small space with a loud and boisterous tour group while eating with plastic utensils off paper plates (again unique in my experience of Costa Rica). If you do have some time before heading out - there is very limited shuttle service to an interesting local mall. There is nothing of interest nearby, within walking distance, except maybe Denny's. Its on a very busy street with tremendous rush hour congestion so driving or taking a taxi is more time-consuming then you would expect if your looking at the distance between this place and other locations.
