Container-style rooms: The property is made up of 12 containers, with currently 4 containers converted into 11 basic private rooms. Each room is set up with a bed, shelving, a small desk with chair, and a private bathroom with shower.

Practical in-room essentials: Guests are provided with linens, toilet paper, towels, and hand soap, keeping the experience straightforward for short city breaks or stopovers.

Shared kitchen for self-catering: A small, fully equipped kitchenette is available, including a refrigerator, stove, coffee maker, rice cooker, blender, and cooking gear—useful if you prefer quick meals rather than eating out every time.

Connectivity and access: Free high-speed Wi-Fi is offered, and smart locks are used for room access, which can make arrivals and day-to-day comings and goings feel smoother.

City-base location: From Alajuelita, it’s positioned for quick access to major San José sights like Estadio Nacional, Parque Metropolitano La Sabana, and Parque Diversiones—handy if you want a compact place to sleep between outings.

Parking limitations: On-site parking may not be available, which can be a drawback if you’re arriving with a rental car.

No on-site restaurant: There isn’t a property restaurant, so meals typically mean using the kitchenette or heading out nearby.

Cooling and accessibility trade-offs: Rooms may not have air conditioning, and the property may not be barrier-free, which could matter for light sleepers or mobility needs.
