8/10 Good
"En general, un hotel normal para una noche. Habitación muy desgastada, muebles viejos, con manchas en algunos lugares. No hay ventilación en el baño. El almuerzo en el restaurante estuvo delicioso, el personal es muy atento y amable. El desayuno era bueno y abundante."

How can I get to Chinatown and get around on a budget?
Looking at these ways to get around Chinatown is a smart way to keep your trip affordable. The nearest airport is San José (SYQ-Tobías Bolaños Intl.), situated 4.7 mi (7.6 km) away. If that doesn't suit your budget, you can arrange flights in and out of San José (SJO-Juan Santamaría Intl.), which is 10 mi (16.1 km) away.
