This is a small, 17-room bed and breakfast in the historic district of San Jose within walking distance of the central downtown area of San Jose. A charming inn with friendly and helpful staff who help with travel or any arrangements you need. Excellent buffet-type breakfast is served in the Inn's patio which includes many fresh fruits, tamals, eggs, fresh juices (different ones every day). There is a computer room for use free of charge, with a lobby sitting room with cable TV. Each room is different in size and furnishings; some for only one person and others for a small family. Each room has a cable TV, telephone, and private bath with a ceiling fan. It is on a busy street and there is street noise until about 10pm. It is connected by a passageway through the patio to another hotel with a restaurant. It is also across the street from the more upscale Don Carlos Hotel. The Inn has wood floors and stairways with a small garden patio and spa at the back of the property. It is two stories with one room called the “turret room” in the attic. The staff here are excellent in all respects and eager to make your stay in Costa Rica memorable, and they will help you with any arrangements you need, including storing your luggage while you take overnight tours. While they do take credit cards, they give a 20% discount for using cash or traveler’s cheques, which equates to about $50 for a double standard room.
