Pros: We really enjoyed our stay. It had a great location.

8,0
Pros: Ok so the staff is so nice but room 414 had little to no water pressure and trickle of hot water...... I asked the front to change rooms but because they were full no possible.... So sucked it up and took Luke warm shower for two days.... Manager said he would comp a dinner at hotel eatery .... Didn't happen and no one seemed to know how it would work. Bed was comfortable location is great for San Jose . My best advice to anyone staying in Costa Rica is get out of San Jose and see the countryside unless u want to be in New York meets Tijuana
Cons: Staff is super nice Breakfast is great Bed was comfortable Location is superb although good luck finding the entrance of you drive in from airport alow 2 hrs for 10km No kidding Traffic is something out of a comic book u will understand if you see it first hand Costa Ricans in general are so nice honest and hard working people enjoy

Pros: Awesome location, right in the heart of San Jose. Walking distance to the major downtown sights, like the theatres, cathedrals, and markets. The restaurant is great, and the lobby is well kept.
Cons: Rooms are run down, and not in the best condition. We had to change rooms because of bugs in the first. AC would have been nice.

Pros: Location location location! Couldn't have been in a better location. So close to all the tourist spots and good restaurants. San Jose is surprisingly a great city to explore on foot. It certainly has its gems. The staff at the hotel was AMAZING and super friendly and helpful. The included breakfast on the top floor was certainly a treat each morning.
"This family-friendly Escazu aparthotel is located near the airport, within 1 mi (2 km) of Avenida Escazú and Plaza Tempo. Multiplaza Mall Escazu and Costa Rica National Stadium (Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica) are also within 3 miles (5 km). "

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: All of the staff were friendly and helpful and their english was good. Jorge at the front desk was a super star. I'd had some challenges with my room on an earlier/previous stay and then again on my most recent stay so Jorge upgraded me to a suite. But they had remodeling construction going on and the suite was right above the noisy area so Jorge moved me to a nicer suite away from the noise and provided some other comforts to make up for the inconvenience. He really went out of his way to make me comfortable. The complimentary breakfast was excellent and the servers and cooks top notch.
Cons: Unfortunately the remodeling construction was loud in the mornings if you wanted to sleep in. And although the location was central in San Jose with easy access to shops and taxi's the street noise from vendors yelling sometimes was irritating.

Pros: Located just off the bustling central street, the Hotel Presidente offers refined comfort in their modern-designed hotel. From friendly greeting from the staff to a tasty breakfast, our stay was pleasant from beginning to end. The location allows any traveler to find restaurants and the Teatre Nacional within minutes.
Cons: For such a modern and refined hotel, we were surprised to find the window would not lock shut! Though we were up high, this "insecurity" may cause anxiety for some; for others, like us, we prefer to have the window open at night. Our bed was also surprisingly hard while among new bathroom facilities when also in a room with new bathroom facilities.

Pros: Located on a pedestrian street within walking distance to many restaurants and bars. Room faced away from the street and was quiet. Room rate included free secure parking. The front desk staff were pleasant and helpful in pointing out local sites and places to eat.

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.

Pros: Love the property itself and how big it is. Features an indoor and outdoor pool, indoor being part of Golds Gym attached in the rear. Big highlight was the breakfast that was included, the selection of Costa Rican food was absolutely delicious and they had a very wide variety and selection. The room was big, comfortable, and clean, and housekeeping did a wonderful job after the first night when we left the room in disrepair. Staff was helpful and friendly and offered suggestions on things to do while in San Jose. Free parking and WiFi were a bonus
Cons: The AC did not work so well in our room and kind of made a buzzing sound most of the night. The shower was busted in that the handle that turns faucet to shower didn't work properly and when you ran the shower it was still coming out of the faucet, thus interfering with the shower pressure. I did mention this to management the following morning, but they were unable to resolve the situation. The sink also was full blast when turned on which meant the water was getting all over the floor. These are minimal issues and I'm sure not every room is like this.

Cons: Our room smelt like mold. I think it recently flooded and they didn't properly take care of it. When we approached the guy at the front desk, he acted super bugged that we asked to swap rooms. He then went on to tell us there were no rooms available and he couldn't do anything for us. Also, when we checked in we were told the water was complimentary and 5 days later we got a bill for $90 for water. We talked to the guy at the front desk and he said it's only good for up to 1 water. He never told us that when we checked in and he wasn't going to do anything to help us out.

Cons: The front desk staff, concierge and some other staff we ran into we're not very friendly. A friend dropped us off and we chatted for a few minutes by the car. As we were walking into the hotel, security came over to tell us that no one could park out front for more than five minutes. My boyfriend said it was only a few to which the security guy said he could check the tapes. There's no need to be rude to your customers. Pool was cold, hot tub was tepid. Fixtures in bathrooms are cheap and falling apart. Location was a bit scary.
