Marvin Alfaro, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The rooms are run down. The floor had a giant dent. Our room was on the second floor and we were afraid the flooring would break and we would fall to the first floor. I am an architect and I could tell there was something wrong with the structure supporting the whole floor. If you walked you could hear the metal structure creaking and you could feel it tremble. We felt very unsafe. We had trouble sleeping, since the neighbors were running around you could hear and feel the whole floor and bed move. The tv was in pretty bad shape, had lines and dead pixels. When you showered you only had one minite of hot water. After one minute the water turned ice cold so you had to shut down the water and start running it again for the hot water to return for another minute. Overall the experience was awful. Thank goodness we only had to stay for one night. When telling the front desk manager about it he said no one has ever complained but I doubt it. Paying a $126 for that room is a scam. DO NOT STAY HERE.

Wonderful experience!

I loved my time at Hotel Zima! The staff was fantastic. They are pricey, especially for the area, but I left there very happy. The bed was comfortable and much better than most beds I’ve stayed in, in Costa Rica. The coconut flan at service at the restaurant was wonderful. I’d suggest they put a mini fridge and coffee/tea maker in each room, or have that available for guest use for free. If it was less expensive I’d definitely spend more time there!

8/10 Very good

I felt safe at the hotel but the area outside of the walls seemed a little scary. We were surprised the room did not have a safe. We had to carry our valuables with us on our day trips. But the staff were so sweet and even gave us advice on what to see and their advice was very good. The food at the restaurant is also very good.

Matthew, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had a brief one night stay on our way to Sn Jose - we had changed our reservation by a day as our plans evolved and had confirmation from Expedia but when we arrived the hotel hadn’t updated the date - but , Jesus at reception assured us it was no problem and we had a a room , but it was prepared for one person , not two , so we had to ask for the extra this and that for the two of us . But - all of the staff , Jesus in particular were just so wonderful, the restaurant staff as well , always smiling , nothing was a problem , so in the end after a bumpy start we had a great stay The hotel does need a little attention some details , but again , we had a great stay

2/10 Poor

Perez Zeledon has few hotel, I have had the opportunity to stay in Los Crestones and Hotel del Sur, those are OK. I wanted to level up and stay in the supposed Perez Zeledon Best Western. We paid for the more expensive room to get a king bed...This hotel is terrible, it has structural issues, you sit in the bet and it feels like the whole place is going to colapse, the shower is terrible, not very clean and the "hot" water comes and goes, you cannot take a 5 min shower without having to step out due to cold or very hot water. And... not only that, at midnight someone had a party in their room!! so I had to go to the reception to have the security people to go to shut this people up. We decided to leave due to the terrible experience currently dealing with the refund.
