Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Jose Aeropuerto, Costa Rica
This hotel has everything you might need for a comfortable stay. Amenities include a full breakfast, sauna, swimming pool, gift shop, and secure parking. Beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. The hotel is a little bit dated though and you can tell it needs some attention. But it was perfect ...
