The property was well maintained. You will hear some aircaft noise yet expected since it is in close proximity to the airport. No problem for us. The staff were super friendly and helpfull. We ate at La Calle street Food Restaurant. The food was not typical for Costa Rica yet seriously gourmet and delicious. The mojitos top shelf. The breakfast was over the top with not only the typical continental cuisine yet Costa Rican rice and beans, sausage and yes plenty of fresh cut up fruit. Incredible. Would certainly stay again. Good deal Holiday Inn Express. Oh and please don't forget to tip the kitchen staff.
