Can someone recommend some good, inexpensive places to stay in Heredia and Escazu?

Question

We would like to stay at a place within walking distance to the main areas in each town. We will be staying for 3 - 4 nights in each town during our final "fact-finding" trip before moving there to teach English (preferably at a school).

In our research we have focused on living/working in the Heredia area, but Escazu looks very inviting too (although I'm not sure about many English-teaching jobs in Escazu). We have been to Costa Rica before but have not spent time in Heredia or Escazu. Can anyone offer us some lodging and/or general advice? Thanks in advance for your help!

Escazu is a expensive area to stay. I might suggest when you get to Escazu and Heredia is to go to the local Mas por Menos supermercado. They have a bulletin board where sometimes they post places for rent and to stay.

Answer 2

The Hotel Aranjuez is a great place to stay.  It is clean, nice, and they feed you breakfast :-)  Plus you have free internet access.
