Excelente servicio, limpias y lindas y amplias instalaciones. Un lugar muy apropiado para descansar. Parqueo techado y seguro. Definitivamente volvería a regresar :)
Is the best Option in the Area, rooms are little bit old, can be improved! Breakfast is great!! Staff amazing!! Is Safe and has a covered garage which is amazing having the fact that rains a lot in Costa Rica!
This hotel was a great stay! the room was comfortable, clean, and the staff was so nice! We did not eat at the restaurant but the food smelled delicious!
If you are going to Cartago this is the place to stay!

Super cute hotel , you park right in front of your door in a little courtyard in the back . The beds were good , great water pressure. Only negative I would say would be the light that gets in early in the morning front to the top of the font door from the window . Otherwise very nice staff and place for the price close to a supermarket and restaurants
Very good value. Hotel is in the process of undergoing renovations but we were put on the second floor in a room that had already been renovated. The restaurant was welcoming and the food was very good. The breakfast was included and we had our choice of many options. All staff were helpful. My husband had left his kindle in the room and the front desk staff was very excited when we returned later in the day so they could return it to us. Only negative is that it is on a busy road and traffic noise can be heard throughout the night.
Nice place to experience the cartigo community to be among the locals. Unfortunately, the motel is directly on the highway, which means non-stop road noise. Large trucks, fast cars and barking dogs rule the night. Avoid rooms at this motel near the road if you wish to have a peaceful nights sleep.
