The hotel staff and service was very nice, clean, quiet, professional and friendly. The front desk staff was very helpful, kind, informative and accommodating. The pool area was nice and the food selection was great. The one thing I did notice that I didn't absolutely love was the "old carpet" smell that was in the hallways. Other than that, everything was nice and clean.

The property is surrounded by beautiful gardens and it is very clean and close to different places in San José. It is easy to get a cab and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet is has variety of choices and especially loved the fresh fruit, the hot dishes can be better especially the pancakes (more like cookies with lack of flavor) The dining is limited but have a variety of dishes, the pasta dishes are very good, however they overcooked the meat and fish dishes. Prices are reasonable.

Property is ok and breakfast is very good. It’s a plus to have a free ride to the airport. I didn’t have upgrade room or welcome drink like other Barcelo hotels.
