Walking distance to Correos de Costa Rica (0.5 miles) and Barrio Mexico (1 mile)

“This is a culturally minded property that emphasizes Costa Rican traditions and warm, family-style service. Expect spacious rooms, a notable breakfast, and a relaxing pool area, all within a quiet neighborhood close to both amenities and transportation; I found it to be a solid choice for visitors seeking a more personalized experience in San Jose.”
