Pretty good place to stay for the money, some areas need a little Maintenace and to be upgraded. For example i stay in a suite one of the TV’s was very obsolete a square box from the 90’s definitely wasn’t a flat screen TV, plus they should upgrade to smart TV’s as well. Overall for the money does worth it to stay nice secure location. The staff is very friendly definitely will stay again.

One night stay to fly to Florida next morning.
There was no hot water in my room. Everything else was okay. I walked to the Hotel Irazu to meet a friend for a lite dinner and retired early.

Sorry Mr. Robert, sometimes the hot water takes a while to arrive, the boiler is located on the fifth floor above and sometimes it takes a while to reach the rooms depending on the frequency of use in the hotel. We have a sufficient reserve of hot water. Our apologies.

Muy buen hotel. Todos muy amables. Solo que la cama es extremadamente dura... Eso hace que sea difícil descansar bien.

Buen día, quería mencionarte que por recomendación de expertos nos informaron que los colchones muy blandos no son tan buenos para descansar o para la espalda, por esa razón es que tenemos el tipo de colchones ergonómicos. Pero además contamos con pilow top las cuales las pueden solicitar en cualquier momento. Esperamos tenerla en una segunda ocación en nuestras instalaciones y muchas gracias por preferirnos.

Plaza Real and Suites is not a corporate chain. It is unique because it is a large property but has the atmosphere of a B&B. It has large nicely furnished rooms which are verry comfortable. It is centrally located and close to an entrance of a main artery of the highway systems. You can quickly get to the airport or to the shopping or hospitals of Escazu and Santa Ana and downtown. I could see the national stadium from my window.

I was disappointed there was no bottled water and no glasses to take a drink even though I don’t know if the water from the tap can be trusted. I also didn’t feel comfortable with the door lock. Anyone could jimmy the lock and get in. I put a chair under the door knob. Thanks I hope this is helpful

Good morning Mr.Gellner ,we are very sorry that you feel uncomfortable in our hotel but we are always ready for any request that any guest could ask , we have bottled water at the front desk and glasses but you never request it or let us know that you need water.Also you could call from your room and ask for water .We are in a very secure building and this is a very safe area and the comment about security its very rare because its not possible that "anyone" can get inside the hotel and get in a room , and all the door locks works perfectly , we feel sorry that you think that this can happen . Thank you .

I liked the friendliness of both receptionists. I did not like that the hotel did not have a restaurant available for lunch or dinner, and there were no eating places near walking distance. I left very early and wanted to drink coffee and could not do so because there was no coffee machine in the room. There were no cups either to drink water.

This place was so spacious, and I did not expect how wonderful it was. We got the family suites and there were two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full kitchen, and a sofa sleeper bed in its own room. Breakfast was on the fourth floor and it was delicious! I would definitely stay here again, and plan to when I return to San Jose again in the future.

The property is old and aging poorly. Our room (a junior suite) had two windows, both of which opened into small airshafts, so the rooms were dark. Worst of all, it was damp and mildewy. It felt like we were in a dungeon. The staff were good, and so was the breakfast.

I left something at the hotel after we checked out and when we called they were able to find it and held onto it for me for two days. I can’t express my gratitude enough. Room had AC which was nice. Bed could have used more blankets. Breakfast was great.
