Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Sleep Inn Paseo Las Damas enjoys a superb location in the heart of San José, making it easy to walk to restaurants, museums, stores, and even casinos; many guests appreciate this central setting for exploring the city and its attractions. The complimentary breakfasts often receive positive mentions, especially the delicious *casados tipicos* and waffles. Rooms generally provide amenities like a refrigerator, and some have noted the convenience of on-site parking. While the casino next door provides a dining option, some guests find accessing its restaurant, Magnolia, a bit disorienting.

The breakfast buffet was better than I expected.

The noise was a problem. A party at the casino next door was very loud late into the night. The windows offered little soundproofing, and street noise kept me awake. This made sleeping difficult.

The air conditioning was REALLY old and noisy. IT sounded like a vacuum cleaner. It barely cooled the room. the bolted window was a HUGE problem. This made the room stuffy and unpleasant. There was no fresh air at all, and I found it quite irritating. The hotel SHOULD upgrade its AC units.

The breakfast had many choices. It was also well stocked. The hotel sits within walking distance to many museums and attractions. Restaurants are nearby too.

The hotel is adequate, it is not fancy. I found the casino to be loud at night. One waitress at the restaurant was unkind. Our group experienced several bad interactions and avoided the restaurant after that.
