We selected this hotel because it was recommended by a couple of guide books. The pros are: helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable staff, convenient and safe location.

My sister and I stayed here a while ago based on so many favorable reviews. It was indeed affordable, clean, and the staff was hospitable upon our arrival. As we decided to settle for the evening in our room, I looked out our 2nd floor window onto the street and noticed a man looking into our room, masturbating. It was... more

I stayed at KAPS PLACE as I had a few things to take care of in San Jose in preparation to go to Quepos where I am working on an eco-retreat. I was pleasantly surprised by the 'round the clock support from informed staff. The value was great and I felt like I was staying at the home of a... more
