Breakfast was good and the rooms are clean. It’s quite a distance from the pickup zones of many tour companies, but if you book with the company advertised at the lobby, you’ll have a good time. There’s an initial disappointment when you arrive at the hotel. The pictures you expect might be a far cry from what you see. The hotel looks fatigued and a bit ancient. Those who crave the feel of the 1960s might appreciate it. Perhaps, the hotel should rebrand as such.

Lovely stay

This hotel is in the perfect location if you want peace and quiet and not the hustle and bustle downtown. However, it is a very basic hotel. No refrigerator, microwave not even a clock, so be prepared. What makes this hotel great are their people. They are very friendly and helpful. Manny, the bartender was the best ever. Very attentive and he had multiple responsibilities. I will include that the hotel definitely needs some upgrades, but they are mostly aesthetic.

Notice of Issues During Stay During my stay, I encountered two major concerns: No Refrigerator in Room: Upon check-in, I immediately requested a small refrigerator for my room, as I needed it for storing medication. Despite asking from the very first day, I was repeatedly told one would be provided, yet it never was. This was unacceptable, given the importance of properly storing medication. Bed Condition: One of the queen mattresses was split in the middle, causing an uncomfortable dip that made it feel as though I was climbing from one side to the other. This significantly affected the quality of rest. The noise was unbearable at all times in the conference rooms without closing the doors. Both issues negatively impacted my experience, and I am very disappointed with how they were handled. They said you purchased through Expedia you need to handle these concerns with them. This was sadly a bad experience, and I would appreciate some compassion in this situation. I would never visit again the Radisson Costa Rica. Marilyn Soto
