The hotel is located in the Los Yoses area of San Jose. We picked this place because of the reviews and it lived up to all the good ones we read. Carlos, Naty, and Marvin (the cat) make you feel like family when you arrive. We were given a local cell phone programed with their numbers-just in case we needed it, a map, and a bunch of good recommendations for things to do/see/eat in the surrounding area. We had breakfast at the hotel and it was great! There is a grocery store, outdoor mall, and indoor mall/movie theater just a couple of blocks away. Also, just a short walk away is Starbucks-we're from Seattle :) A little further away are museums, parks, and a local market...my suggestion to anyone looking for souvenirs is to buy them at the market across from the National Museum and if you're looking for coffee get it from Carlos. You can walk to the museums, parks, and market or take the city bus, cab, or use Uber to get around. The room we had was spacious, two beds, clean, big bathroom, a small refrigerator, TV (we never turned it on because we were always out exploring), a safe, and great WIFI. One thing to note, the rooms do not have A/C, but are equipped with fans. All in all we had a great time staying here and if we ever go back to Costa Rica we will be sure to stay here again.
