That depends on what part of the reputation you are talking about. If its in regard to missing reservations then it is from my experience a very deserved reputation. For my friends and I, they have screwed up 100% of the time for late arrivals, which lends to the theory that they'll sell your room out from under you for a better offer, or for a sure thing in the evenings.

I was there a couple of weeks ago and had my friend book two rooms in each of our names since he was arriving in the morning. In a
new twist, on arrival, the reservation was for a double room for two people and they had no other room availability when I arrived that evening. It worked out for the best though because my wingman was stuck in Honduras overnight and he got a reduced rate on a suite the next day.

Yes breakfast is now included and you have a choice of a Continental, a tico typical, or an americano version. I had the desayuno americano two days in a row, the first morning was not very good, the second morning was even worse, I decided it would be better to sleep in the third morning.

However, for $47 (including breakfast, taxes), no chica fees, and because its located a block from ground zero, I still think its a good value if your flight arrives in the AM or early afternoon.

I just got back from a 5 nite stay. I got the room 501 I reserved with no problem . I have been staying there over 7 years 4-5 times a year and have been treated nicely each time. Breakfast is free and it is not the best but the OJ is good order your eggs scrambled . Elevator was only out once long walk to 5th floor.Gringotim and royboy I reserved our rooms for the Super Bowl.

Angie told me $94 w/tax for Jr suite with breakfast and $88 without

I'm not sure if the "without" you're referring to is the tax or the breakfast, however if the latter is an option, do yourself a favor and save the $6.
