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.

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

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.
