I recently stayed at Hotel El Guarco in Cartago for three nights with my partner and my service dog, and once again, it was an outstanding experience. This isn’t our first time staying here, and every time, the service gets better. The staff is always incredibly attentive and friendly, making us feel very welcome. The delicious breakfast included with our stay is always a highlight—there’s a great variety, and everything is fresh and flavorful. It’s also a bonus that some of the staff speak English, which makes communication easy and comfortable. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting the area—whether for business or leisure. We’ll definitely be back!

Super cute hotel , you park right in front of your door in a little courtyard in the back . The beds were good , great water pressure. Only negative I would say would be the light that gets in early in the morning front to the top of the font door from the window . Otherwise very nice staff and place for the price close to a supermarket and restaurants

Very good value for the price. Wonderful staff.
Very good value. Hotel is in the process of undergoing renovations but we were put on the second floor in a room that had already been renovated. The restaurant was welcoming and the food was very good. The breakfast was included and we had our choice of many options. All staff were helpful. My husband had left his kindle in the room and the front desk staff was very excited when we returned later in the day so they could return it to us. Only negative is that it is on a busy road and traffic noise can be heard throughout the night.

Nice place to experience the cartigo community to be among the locals. Unfortunately, the motel is directly on the highway, which means non-stop road noise. Large trucks, fast cars and barking dogs rule the night. Avoid rooms at this motel near the road if you wish to have a peaceful nights sleep.
