They provided unlimited shuttle for $20 which really was helpful in getting around the local favs Cleanliness is an issue as there were the dirty house flies in bathrooms that would fly at night in your face. It was quite yucky. Also there was some other hotel/ba r close to la choza that would blast extremely lod music every night until 3am. So very very hard for light sleepers

Very simple hotel. We were hardly in the room. Rooms were fine, fridge, good AC. Service was very good. In fact we left our passports in the safe and the staff helped make a special trip to San Jose to bring our passports last minute. That was amazing, We definitely recommend looking for an economical yet comfortable stay.

A localização é ponto positivo. O ponto negativo foi que alugamos um quarto com banheiro privativo e, infelizmente, o chuveiro não esquentava e tivemos que utilizar o banheiro geral. Na descrição constava ventilador e não tinha. Não foi possível usar o ar ja que o barulho era grande. O plus foi que precisamos ficar na cidade ate as 14hrs e permitiram, sem custos, que ficássemos ate as 13hrs. Retornaríamos para hospedar no Choza Inn solicitando um quarto melhor

OK

I was only here one night, in a private room. It was about as basic as it gets. The bed was okay but I could feel the individual springs. The included breakfast was alright but nothing spectacular. The staff were all very polite and professional, but the property itself was very much the stereotypical hostel, passable but not memorable.

Everybody working there was very nice. The breakfast is great. The courtyard is also nice and quiet and lush. They have good deals with a lot of the tours. The neighbourhood is quiet since it’s away from the main street. The rooms are spacious and clean.
