What guests think

Across recent reviews, Hotel Las Espuelas, Bar & Restaurant is described as a convenient, budget-friendly stop near Liberia and the airport, with a large clean pool, spacious grounds, and generally well-liked breakfasts and on-site dining.

Rooms are often described as basic or dated, with occasional issues like limited hot water, low shower pressure, or noise from nearby traffic or thin walls. Cleanliness feedback is largely positive, though several guests reported stained walls or insects and noted that some areas feel worn. Service is widely considered friendly and helpful, but staffing can be thin or check-in guidance minimal. A practical choice for short, no-frills overnights near the airport.

The grounds of this hotel are very nice and spacious. The only real negative was the rooms are dated. Really enjoyed our stay. Location was nice near many things but on the edge of town. All the amenities listed were there and worked except hot tub was not hot while we were there.

The front desk was courteous and helpful. Grounds are lovely with a large clean pool. The room is adequate, water pressure low in shower but clean, comfy yet firm beds, air conditioner that cooled the room nicely. Had a late night snack at the bar, nachos were delicious. The server was alone and probably needs another server for the number of people. Breakfast was good, nice options. Over all, a great find.

We had a great stay at the Las Espuelas Hotel. The people were super helpful and friendly. Pool was nice and clean. Service was great, the facilities were clean but moderate. Breakfast was super and at night we could relax at the restaurant and bar. The only draw back was that there is nothing around the hotel and for every trip we needed a car.

Stay away from this place! Walls are disgusting, internet was reset but connection would come in and out. It was three of us and they only wanted to give us two towels. Not to mention breakfast was not a buffet and only provided one egg a little bit of rice and one sausage. For them to charge $117 per night for three of us is a loss of money.

Es un hotel relativamente cómodo pero descuidado. La limpieza en general es regular, nos desagradó mucho que las paredes de la habitación estaban con machas como de cosas que se regaron y se veía muy desagradable. Nos hospedamos allí porque pensamos que era una buena opción viendo precio-calidad pero la verdad una próxima vez buscaremos otra opción.

The room was clean. As a last minute reservation for one night it met our need. I wouldn’t stay longer, though. There is nothing around the hotel. They have a restaurant and bar on site which is good but not great. Everyone there was very helpful and friendly.

Some family members and myself were returning from a stay from Nicaragua and staying one night to catch our early flight home. The hotel was very spacious and clean. We did eat dinner in restaurant and portions were big and presented nicely but we found the food extremely salty. Staff were very accommodating for my daughter in law and grandkids letting them have a late check out.

Overall a good night's stay. Front desk was cordial and helpful when asked. The only suggestion is that at check-in it is very helpful for the guest to be given a quick rundown, where is the pool, where is the restaurant, what time is the (excellent) breakfast served, etc.. We almost missed breakfast for not seeing a dining room.

Location

Convenient for accessing Liberia and LIR airport, with several mentions of proximity to the highway. The immediate area isn’t very walkable and offers little nearby, so having a car helps.

The property is well maintained, clean and has a friendly staff. It just looks like time has not been very friendly to the area and the construction of an elevated highway has made it noisy, all hours of the day. The location is close to the airport and the price is great. For a quick stay, this place is great.

We stayed for one night on our way to Liberia for a departing flight and we loved it! Great, rustic Costa Rican hotel. The hotel and rooms are simple but absolutely spotless. Huge refreshing pool, amazing food at the restaurant and perfectly authentic. The breakfast was also great, especially the coffee.
