Sarchi is a quick bus ride from San Jose where you can buy lots of souvenirs and a very walkable town where you can explore for a day. 
The city is famous for the ox carts seen all over Costa Rica! There's also a larger than life ox cart in the center of town.

Air conditioning was not great. The room was a little dusty and I didn´t like it. There were no ameneties which is fine but that was poor. Also, hot water wasn´t enough. I was only there for 1 night but I won´t come back.
