Actually, I have stayed at Studio Hotle Boutique many times. I go back each time because I am confident that the facility will be the same very comfortable place to spend the night and where I will enjoy a cocktail at their comfortable bar before bed a very wholesome breakfast in the morning when I arise. This is my favorite hotel in the San José area; and, a real treat.

    Breakfast was ok - but there could have been a much better selection of juices available. There was only x1 per day, I expected more from a 5 star hotel. Also at dinner they made me sit on a shared table which I didn’t want to do because they had closed off an area.
