Homewood Suites By Hilton Cariari San Jose

10/10 Excellent

"Great Hotel ,staff was very friendly and helpful and very clean"

Hampton by Hilton San Jose Airport

10/10 Excellent

"This Hampton is as good as any in the states. The staff speak English exceptionally well and are tolerant of us attempting our muy feo espanol. Quiet rooms, great breakfast. My only complaint is the pool was a bit cold, but clean clear and perfect to swim. Will return."

Holiday Inn Express San Jose Costa Rica Airport by IHG

8/10 Good

"We usually stay at this Holiday Inn because of the value and the breakfast. This time, the breakfast was not very good. There weren't as many choices and the quality has gone down. The room was clean and the staff is always helpful."

Courtyard by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela

10/10 Excellent

"Todo muy bien! Gracias por la gentileza y atenciones."

Wyndham San Jose Herradura Hotel & Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Staff Clean Room, Parking"

AC Hotel San Jose Airport Belen

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic choice for your first night in Costa Rica, or the final night before a flight home. Two recommendations, book the breakfast, you won’t be disappointed, and book the shuttle from the airport to the hotel and avoid having to pay a ridiculously high price for a taxi. Third time staying at AC Belan, and I will stay again."
