William did everything very well, from cooking mahi, mahi to giving us tips for our stay in Costa Rica. The view from the room on the second floor with covered balcony was excellent. We hope to return to Ruta Verde in the future.

Ruta Verde BB was a wonderful place for my wife and I to stay! Although we were only there for one night, the staff made us feel welcome and right at home. Immediately after arriving we were greeted and guided to our room. The staff made sure that we had transportation to the airport in the morning even though we gave them short notice. The dinner at Ruta Verde was remarkable! It was one of the best meals we had during our visit to Costa Rica! Overall, this was an awesome place to stay and we would recommend it to anyone wanting a relaxing place to stay outside of the hustle and bustle of San Jose.

We were disappointed by our experience at Ruta Verde. We felt unwelcome from the upstart, arriving at 6pm to find everything closed up and the owner eventually communicated through a CCTV system in a irritable manner. It is described as a boutique hotel, but there was a lack of attention to detail, such as: the towels were old and rough, the toilet paper was cheap; the water in the bathroom smelt like sulphur, the shower was cold, the TV would not work, the traffic from the street was noisy and we had an adjoining room with a child's cot and a heap of random junk beside it. The traditional breakfast of rice and eggs were cooked well, but the owner came across as grumpy. (Not the customer service we have experienced elsewhere in CR). He claimed he was looking to sell up and move on, which could not have been more apparent in his service. Alajuela itself is hectic and seems shady, so not worth visiting in our opinion.

Nice place, but could use updating. Parking is difficult, but safe. For the price, good accomodations. Not a lot of conveniences nearby.
