10/10 Excellent
"I stayed here while on a long, overnight layover. It was your typical Marriott hotel. Everything is always very predictable and we got great rest before we left to the airport the next morning. This place has a free airport shuttle too."

"I recently stayed at the hotel for five days. Everything was good, clean, the only problem that I had it was that we didn’t have any fridge in in the room and also they didn’t even give us water bottles to have in our room but everything else was excellent"

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed here from the airport until we shuttled 3 hours away and what i noticed everywhere in this hotel is how clean it is. I booked 5 rooms for 16 people and they accommodate us with no issues. The rooms were all comfortable, clean and the hotel is very close to resteraraunts and the casino ( less than 5 minutes walking time). The staff is friendy and very helpful. A staff member made balloon animals for the kids in our group and they had a so much fun. It is definitely a go to for me next time I come in from SJO."
