Felt like entering jail as seen from street, with high gated fence, electrified barbed wires, several video cameras.
room was clean with many beds for all of us. Good for the price.

They don’t offer airport shuttle service, this needs to be removed from their page stating they do. This definitely is not the place to go if your looking for comfort. I woke up covered in bedbugs bites..I would not stay here again.

No airport shuttle, air conditioner didn’t work, no hot water in sink in our first room. Stayed on our way through and again coming back home. Not safe area to walk to restaurants but was able to use Uber eats and Uber to the airport and bus station. Close to airport so that was good. Hotel owner was a great help and very friendly.

This hotel is in a nice neighborhood in the foothills above the airport. Very tranquil setting with a garden and parking.very secure . The host makes sure your stay is comfortable.

This was a very basic Tico Inn. Our flight arrived late and after picking up our rental car we were less than two miles from Santa Maria. We had both emailed to prepare staff for late arrival and then called upon landing. We arrived and staff opened the gate within 5 minutes of ringing their bell. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good including fruit plate, eggs, sausage and toast served on an outdoor patio/garden with hummingbirds feeding on the pretty foliage. As I initially said, it is basic, but for the price, it was a safe convenient place to stay.

The shower knobs were hard to turn. At least the water was hot.
They advertise free cont. bfst but there was nothing not even any coffee made; I had to make my own coffee and this area was dirty. People had eaten pizza the night before and just left the empty box there.
I had told the guy that checked me in the night before that I would need an airport shuttle which they advertise as free. He acted stunned like no one ever asks for it but he didn't say it could not be done.
I was in the lobby at 9:30am and there was no one at the desk. Finally a woman wanders in that works there and I tell her I've booked the shuttle. She knew nothing about it. The guy didn't tell her. Thank goodness she was able to find someone who took me.
The customer service here is horrible. The staff just doesn't care😟

The hotel was lovely, though we were there for a quick sleep before an early morning flight. Expedia dropped the ball for the third time in our Costa Rica experience and didn't actually book our reservation. Luckily the hotel let us in the closed gate and found a room for us. It is off the beaten path and we had a little bit of a struggle finding it. We found a tourist bus parked and asked for help; he escorted us.
The staff was wonderful and helpful.

I had to wait nearly 10 minutes in the street to be let in, then was told that there was no shuttle to the airport and I would have to pay for a taxi, then I found a cockroach in the hallway, a variety of insects in the room, and to cap it all, a bed without pillows.

My room had a number of issues that were not individually horrible but they added up! The staff was extremely nice and seemed to care for my well being. That is always nice! Super close to the aiport and my room was economical.

We waited 40 minutes for someone to let us in the gate. There were holes in the door, windows with no glass, toilet dirty. One good thing-- breakfast was good!

The lady was nice and helpful. It was in a residential area so it was a weird location. The key was hard to get into the room. You have to knock in order to get into the yard so that was not a good look for me. Overall it was a decent stay for the price. Not expensive so You cant expect anything spectacular.

A little remote if you haven’t got a car. No shops or restaurants on road. No English spoken, trying to confirm the free taxi to the airport 24 hrs before arrival proved a problem.

The bed was comfortable, and it was quick getting to the airport at 5am, but it was located much further out from the center of Alajuela and the airport than I realized. While the website seems to offer airport transportation, it was only for one way, and I had to pay US$15 for a cab during rush hour. Friendly staff, but next time I'll spend a bit more money and stay closer to the town center/SJO.

They gave me a room facing the street. There were dogs barking and loud people until the wee hours of the morning. Open air inlet at top of headboard had no screen allowing mosquitos in that buzzed around you and bit you all night. Loud people in small lower lobby were smoking and very loud with no staff around to see what was happening. Parking was poor and hard to access. Dont go to this place unless you are desperate!!

The Santa Maria Inn was a good hotel close to the airport with a free shuttle and free breakfast included.
The property itself is well kept and the rooms are in good condition. In addition, there is a restaurant and super market within a 15 minute walk.

The room was not bad but the beds and pillows were awful. Our backs still hurt. The staff disappeared after they checked us in. It is a gated and safe hotel but also hard to get in as you have to ring the bell several times and wait for someone. We never got towels and there was nobody to available to get them. This is more like a bed and breakfast and the hotel has potential if they improved the rooms and had staff available to help. I was trying not to spend a lot of money on our last night in Costa Rica since we were only staying a few hours but next time we will pay more to get a good night sleep!

I felt like we were in lock down! They lock the door at night so you can’t get out! And then you have to call them for them to open the door! Or if you wanna go out at night you can’t! The shower wasn’t good you have to wait for a while for hot water! The breakfast wasn’t even presented in the morning! Good thing we were staying for one night! And the air conditioner was covered by blinds! Look at the pictures to get a better understanding

Arrived late because we were leaving for the airport early next day. Check in was fast and the guy who Che led us in was very friendly and proficient. They also offer free airport transfer which we took advantage of. Have attend here 4 times now and love it.

We got there late in the evening for a overnight stay. Over the phone we had prearranged a pick up from the nearby airport, which is advertised as one of their services.
Unfortunately nobody came to pick us up. We had to take a taxi and find our own way. The host at the desk was very friendly, when we finally got there.
The room was clean and extremely basic. The transport to the airport the next morning was taken care of by the hotel as promised.

A great little place to stay when you want to be close to the airport! The staff is very friendly, and can usually drive you to the airport themselves, no matter what time your flight is at. I find it quiet here, and having a little community kitchen area is great too!

After a bit of trouble finding the hotel we enjoyed all aspects of the stay. I appreciate being able to wash my car in the parking lot and the curtesy ride to the airport. Ricardo and his sister are friendly and helpful hosts.Thank you very much we will recommend the hotel to anyone going to Costa Rica.

It was a clean and small room,the bed was nice and comfortable. I found the bathroom sink had no hot water and the shower head pressure was nonexistent. The winding stairway to my room was difficult to bring up my luggage.
This hotel is basically a private residence, with no nearby restaurants or services. There is one restaurant that offers delivery but with a added delivery charge.
There is a common our area that has a refrigerator ( that is stocked with drinks that you pay for) and a sink with a microwave.
Since is only five minutes from the airport the aircraft noise was difficult to sleep and the refrigerator noise also made it difficult to sleep.
If you open a window there was no screen to keep out the bugs.
