Alajuela City Hotel & Guest House

8/10 Good
"Room was clean. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Breakfast was very good and the courtyard where you eat is beautiful. Also itā€™s a small thing, but the soap smells like pineapple and smells SO good. Cons - no parking directly onsite but a parking lot is not very far. A few more amenities would be appreciated (shampoo, conditioner, hairdryer). We stayed for one night and had a nice stay, no issues whatsoever."
