My husband and I stayed here for part of our anniversary trip and this is a great property. It's in a great location, close to everything you would need during your stay. There was a convenience store maybe a 3 minute walk away that we were able to get snacks and water for the room. The staff was great as well. Romy at the front desk and Marvin, who helped with our bags, were both friendly and helpful. I really cannot say enough great things about this hotel. We're already planning our next trip to Costa Rica and when we go back, we're definitely staying at Gran Hotel!
