| Innkeeper Response |
I am saddened as this is the first and only negative review in the history of my ownership. We are the #2 rated hotel in Alajuela (the airport city) out of 35 by Trip Advisor. We have many great reviews on this B&B site as well.
Here is what they are correct about:
• We have excellent food. Our reviews show it.
• I do wait up for our clients and if they get up early, I do see them off as well.
• We have secure parking.
• There was an odor when I opened the door. Our septic system is regularly inspected and performs properly. During the heavy rain season, the ground water fills up the systems quickly. It was quickly alleviated by opening the door and turning on the ceiling fan. In the future, I’ll check this room prior to guest arrival.
These things are simply culture shock. I believe they will have a different opinion once their trip is concluded:
• We are 7 kilometers from the airport.
• The street dog population in Costa Rica is out of control. It’s part of the culture. I like this program who helps alleviate it: http://www.animalsheltercostarica.com/
• Roosters and chickens are part of the culture and the "wildlife". We advertise that we are in the coffee farm country. We provide earplugs for city folks.
• Noise laws are strict here. Culturally, Costa Rican families get up when the sun does and go to bed when it retires as well. We do have quiet hours from 10pm to 8am.
• Our rooms are far from basic. We provide fresh flowers, free bottled water, free coffee packages to take home, a full breakfast, welcome cocktail and a taxi ride either to or from the airport.
If they are still in the country, please come back. Your last night is complimentary and I’ll even throw in a bottle of wine.
