Tired family hotel

Cons: Pretty much everything.
Location: San Jose is ghastly. The hotel is next to an industrial park. Very unattractive.
Costa Rica I am sure is beautiful. San Jose is utterly charmless and ugly. The hotel is functional but feels like a very tired 3 star hotel. My room was quiet. The bed ok. The pool is small but nice enough. Reception staff indifferent. I cut my stay short and returned to beautiful Panama.

Kymmenen yötä Cristinassa

Saimme ensin huoneen uima-altaan vierestä. Se oli kulahtanut, kalsea. Onneksi vaihto ylimpään kerrokseen onnistui. Huone oli selvästikin remontoitu, valoisa ja ”kodikas”. Suihkun kanssa hieman ongelmia;vettä tuli ajoittain huonosti. Aamiainen oli monipuolinen ja riittävä. Hotellin henkilökunta oli ystävällistä ja avuliasta. Saimme hyvin vinkkejä nähtävyyksiin ja liikkumiseen. En kuitenkaan sanoisi hotellia ja sijaintia upeaksi!!!
