This is an okay place to stay for one night when arriving in or leaving from Costa Rica. It is very basic and nothing has been replaced in decades, but it is clean and they do their best to take care of the place. The rooms are between two bars, so the partying is loud and continues into the night. The rooms are inside the grounds of one of the bars, but once the bar is closed for the night, the fence is closed and the gate is locked. My friend and slept soundly there and woke early to take a taxi to the airport, to which the lady at the front kindly arranged the night before. An older gentleman unlocked the fence for us and stood guard until our taxi arrived. There were several restaurants we walked to in about 5-10 minutes. I felt comfortable staying with a friend, but I may have felt a little nervous going out at night by myself. I heard an iguana crawling around inside the roof for a minute just before bedtime, but I think he settled down and went to sleep too.
