Puzzeled when desk clerk said we would be required to open a charge account before using a credit caed to pay for dinner. He seemed to have an issue with the restaurant staff. We were finally able to pay with cc at the restaurant. Puzzling and annoying after being Hilton Honors member for decades.

This hotel is superb. The rooms are incredible, (the food could be better) however the REAL problem is that area is a non starter. What’s the point of being in a good hotel if you are uncomfortable with the immediate vicinity in every direction. There were multiple cockroaches as soon as I stepped out onto the street every day. If you have to stay in the heart of San Jose then fine but if not, avoid hotel altogether. Don’t say you weren’t warned

Excellent hotel, room, staff, breakfast, gym. The only downside is the location, which is in the old downtown. Not much to do there, no high-end tourist places, no good restaurants walking distance. Would rather stay in Escazu which is where the action is.

The view from our room of the adjacent park/plaza was great. The room was adequate. The waiters in the restaurant were phenomenal (Moises, Diego, Pablo, Marcela, Connor, and others. They made our meals outstanding. On the down side there is a minor complaint: the coffee pods were so dried out that they wouldn’t work in the in-room coffee makers. The maid Isera was very attentive. All went well. We will return.

Hotel was great. Nice restaurant for dinner. Loved the area around it. In the middle of many shops. Literally in front of the Opera Theater. Cons- after dusk the homeless/beggars are around and bother you as you are teyimg to sight see. But this is not a con to the hotel but of the area. So wake up early sight see and go back to room in the evening at least by 8pm.
