The food was great at the restaurant. Great hours, open 7am-10pm. The only thing that would have added to the experience would be to have an ice available. They have an airport shuttle apparently but when we replied that we wanted to book it, they never got back to us. We ended up having to get a taxi from Liberia airport which cost $30USD

BEWARE: This is not a HOTEL This is a very small MOTEL, beyond the Industrial Zone, beyond the outskirts of town. Very Spartan, no hot water in the sink in the room and only hot water out of the very primitive shower in the very primitive "bathroom." The front desk is only open when someone arrives. The tiny restaurant is OK but expensive. The room rate is OUTRAGEOUS on Orbitz! This property should not be on Orbitz! The Immigration officer and the taxi driver both did not believe me that I had a reservation here!!!

Check-in was great, they confirmed it was me and gave me my key, maybe less than 1 minute after the person arrived! Parking is fine, there are spaces in front of the hotel and also across the street they have a lot for the hotel. My room was fine, slight problem with toilet running (which I told them so I presume it's fixed) and this room's suicide shower was ok but not as good as the room I had in my previous stay. Restaurant will definitely work on what you want to eat, friendly. Yes, I would stay there again!

Clean room, quiet, easy by local bus (ask to be let off by Walmart!) and about 8-12 minute walk in quiet neighborhood with lovely indoor patio looking out to street and distant clouded volcano… only complaint is the super heavy towels don’t smell great (likely washed with fabric softener so smell especially bad when damp) but Ive got a very good olfactory so it may not bother you. Good place to prepare to travel or post long flight. I’d stay again

Room was ok, I picked this hotel because it says they have a 24 hr airport shuttle. What that means is they will call and overcharge you for a taxi to the airport anytime you want

We stayed here just before our early morning flight out of Liberia. Really served its purpose of getting some sleep beforehand. A bit cheaper than other hotels nearby. There was no shampoo or body wash and a bit noisy.

The payment on arrival didn’t work out how we wanted and didn’t make sense according to the reservation. Parking works well and location is convenient to the airport. We saw breakfast included when reserving however they do not serve breakfast on Mondays - which was not communicated in advance so that was disappointing. The sheets and towels were in nice condition. Overall it was high priced for what we received.

We had just spent a week at the W Reserva Conchal, as a reference. Our flight was cancelled at night and all hotels close to the airport in LIR were full. We were very skeptical about this property and concerned about having the family there due to its location in the middle of a residential neighborhood, but our driver had good things to say as a native LIR resident. The check-in process was smooth and very friendly, the room was basic but spotless. I am not sure we would choose to stay here on our next visit due to location, but if you are looking for clean, inexpensive and safe accommodations within 10-15 mins of the airport, I would recommend this!
