Cons: We've stayed here before and things were better then. This time we reserved a crib ahead of time, and when we arrived we were told that the crib is on its way. 30 minutes passed and still no crib and no word from anyone. I called reception again and they said that the crib was not coming anymore since they didn't have one for us anymore. They didn't offer any solutions, just said no crib. I asked if there is a small bed they could wheel into our room and finally they agreed. Also there were a few blood stains on our bedsheets. Gross. I told all of this to reception when we checked out but they showed no concern.

Pros: The buffet breakfast was great, variety and quantity. Enjoy that! The bed was very comfortable, did a lot of sleeping. The shuttle to the airport was free but it goes on the hour and you need to schedule your spots ahead of time.
Cons: Not a good place to walk anywhere. We wanted food but the restaurant at the hotel opened at 6:30pm. Better expect to catch a taxi or dodge traffic across the highway to go out. Also the restaurant was expensive for the portions, if you want your value, get the dessert bar for 6$. They will charge you for that bottled water they pour you. Wifi was cutting out a lot. They hotel had seen better days, lacking on the details of maintenance. I was happy for a minibar but was told it was 10$ just to unlock it so don't expect to have a fridge in the room. There was an ice bucket though.

Pros: Breakfast buffet was superior and the lobby, garden and the pool were beautiful. The staff were very helpful and kind.

Pros: The hotel said that the first three floors had no water service and all floors above were booked. However, we went to the fitness center on the main floor and the showers were working fine. The kitchen on the main floor also had a water supply. We found out later that the water line was a lie. The hotel used that as an excuse to send us to another hotel because they had overbooked. The hotel they sent us to had a cheaper rate than Barcelo. The hotel that Barcelo sent us to said that Barcelo over books all the time, lies to their patrons all the time, and sends them to the hotel we were sent to and forces the other hotel to deal with or try to make up for Barcelo's mistakes and poor customer service. Also, one of the reasons we booked this hotel was because of the free airport shuttle service. The shuttle never showed up at the airport. We were told there would be a shuttle at 6:30, at 6:45, we called the hotel and it turns out they never sent a shuttle. We ended up having to get a cab and we were not reimbursed for the taxi ride. For the ride back to the airport, I just booked a taxi because I did not trust the Barcelo shuttle to pick me up in time from the hotel they sent me to.
Cons: Did not like anything about this hotel.

Good
7,7
Pros: Beautiful green garden; Free Shuttle Service from and to Airport***; quality and variety of food; free breakfast buffet that was included with our stay; fitness room; and location of hotel in San Jose. ***Note: The free shuttle to and from airport had one problem. When we arrived in Costa Rica, the shuttle was not there. We had to ask an attendant at the airport to call the hotel to tell them we were waiting at the airport to be picked up. Maybe it was our fault for not pre-scheduling this with the hotel...Just thought it would have been better if they had some system down to always have a shuttle available.
Cons: Front Desk Attendant who checked us in was wheelin' and dealing with their WiFi access charge. We ultimately settled on paying $35 for our 9 day stay for WiFi service for 4 devices. The water in the outdoor pool was too cold to swim at times. Wish it was a heated pool. Also, I didn't like how the valet service was inconsistently quoting us for their private taxi service. You can ask 3 different valet guys how much it would cost to drive you to a destination outside of their hotel (such as a resturaunt) and they all will give you a different price. Best thing to do is to ask the valet to call a real taxi because the price of a real taxi fare in Costa Rica was always at least half the price of what the hotel was charging us.

Pros: Staff are highly friendly and bilingual. Some of them at least. It's right off the freeway and a good price for what you get.
Cons: Gym was hardly there at all. Fitness is important to me.I can improvise thanks to my training but I might as well have done bodyweight workouts. They didn't have someone at the front gate to let me in so I stood there for a while before crawling under the gate to open it myself.
Located in the heart of San Jose, this hotel is within a 15-minute walk of National Park and Morazan Park. San Pedro Mall and University of Costa Rica are also within 1 mile (2 km). San Jose Procuradiria Museum Station is 5 minutes by foot and San Jose Fercori Station is 6 minutes.

Pros: The staff
Cons: When we got to the room we didn't have power for the lights or the ac so I called downstairs (the phone worked) and they informed me you have to insert your keycard in a slot by the door to get power. Weird but ok, I'll play along. After a couple hours of trying to get the ac to work and trying to sleep without it, I ended up calling the desk and having them take a look. They couldn't figure it out and moved us to a room right next door, which was an upgrade. The staff was great and helpful with the situation but the new ac didn't work much better. All in all, not a bad hotel. Great location, there was free breakfast we didn't get to enjoy, they opened my bottle of wine, and took great care of my complaint. However, there was a lot of construction which was a little weird to deal with and the ac is a huge thing for me. From the north and my house is constantly freezing.
