Clean, comfortable and quiet stay close to Liberia airport.

Liked:Great place for an overnight in Liberia ($20 taxi from airport). Rooms are private, clean and comfortable with great a/c. Beautiful and quiet open areas. Walking distance to restaurants and shops. Staff helped me get a taxi to take me to pick up my rental after check out which was very helpful!

Disliked:No concerns.

Liked:Very friendly and helpful staff. Good value, as it is pretty cheap. The size of our room was great for 2 with a decent size bag each and the wifi and tv worked great. The garage was very accessible and felt a lot safer than parking on the street.

Disliked:Liberia as a city was not that exciting in my mind. Would have stayed longer if the city was more interesting. A pretty cheap place to stay of you are exploring rincon de la vieja and surrounding area with a car, but I would probably try to stay closer to the action.

Our time at El Pretal was excellent, and we would look forward to another visit.

Liked:We were pleasantly surprised to see that there was coffee, tea, sugar, spices, milk powder and oatmeal available for guests. Our main contact, Guillermo was very pleasant and helped us out. Other staff were friendly and accomodating. On our second visit we noticed that there was a laundry drying area with clotheslines and pegs for guests.
