Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Jose Aeropuerto, Costa Rica

8/10 Good
"Everything was nice… eggs were a little runny for scrambled and the fried plantain were over ripened which made them mushy. Todo estuvo bien… los huevos estaban un poco líquidos para ser revueltos y el plátano frito estaba demasiado maduro, lo que lo hizo blando."
