Pros: Super nice host, helped me organizing my trip, excellent breakfast!

Pros: I would come anytime again. Very nice host, place, room, breakfast etc.

Cons: -

Pros: The room was clean and spacious enough. The house was located within a gated little community. We felt very safe and it was perfect to stay the night before our early flight.

Cons: There weren’t too many restaurants around but for the purpose of being near the airport this wasn’t a huge concern for us.

Pros: Dora was an attentive and gracious host. She breakfast was fantastic. She arranged our airport pick up and drop off, each time the driver was punctual. Dora even arranged our car rental. The car rental, Target Car Rental, was the best!! We will definitely stay here again when we come back to San Jose.

Cons: The room was great for the price. The one thing I will say is that the rooms were not as cleaned as I would have liked. The walls were a bit dirty.

Pros: Breakfast was amazing!

Pros: clean and well appointed, near airport, driver picked us up promptly at 4 am for a 530 am flight...we could make coffee in the kitchen area even though it was earlier than the normal breakfast time.

Pros: airport shuttle, breakfast

Pros: Very clean, A/C, comfortable bed.

Cons: Need more towels in bathroom.

Pros: The place is charming and cosy with great beds and awesome location.

Cons: Unfortunately it’s by a street which gets a lot of early traffic so it gets pretty noisy

Pros: Very comfortable place to stay for one night near the San José airport. Staff are friendly and go out of their way to help and the typical Costa Rican breakfast was excellent.

Pros: Very clean, staff super friendly, good breakfast, nice terrace. Good spot when you arrive late in San Jose and want to continue your journey the next day

Cons: Bit noisy as my room was facing the street.

Pros: Near the airport, meal at the one-site restaurant was very good (probably best my family have had at a hotel restaurant).

Cons: The price was steep compared to comparable hotels in Alajuela but the convenience of being so close to the airport and their efficient shuttle was worth it as our flight came in late in the evening and we just wanted a calm place to get our meal and catch some z's.

Pros: I had a very brief stay as our flight got in late due to a storm. But the complimentary breakfast buffet was outstanding, it was a great morning treat after many travel hassles.

Pros: This place is clean, new, everything works, staff is courteous, location is next to the biggest nicest Walmart I have ever seen, near restaurants, has it’s own nice restaurant, good value… not much else I can say. I would definitely come back if I needed a place to stay next to the airport. Shuttle to terminal every 30 minutes.

Pros: Very close to the airport with a reliable shuttle. The rooms were clean, the staff was friendly, and all in all it was a better Marriott experience than I've had in The States!

Cons: My flight was delayed and I arrived after midnight. There was no shuttle service and I could not reach hotel by phone. Other hotels in the area still had regular shuttle service.

Pros: Bilingual staff, close to airport, plenty of food options nearby, free airport shuttle

Cons: My room had a horrible view, actually faced a parking lot which was awkward, especially when other people were outside.

Pros: Hotel was very clean close to airport and next to a Walmart.

Cons: Staff communication.I called multiple times to ask about shuttle service and was never told that after 11p theres no service from airport. Also was never told you have to schedule shuttle service to the airport 1hour before you need it had to take a taxi.

Pros: Very helpful and kind front desk staff

Pros: Perfect place to stay for early morning or late arriving flights. Just moments from the airport.

Pros: near airport, airport shuttle schedule

Cons: The neighborhood was not too inviting. I thought breakfast was complimentary. Staff told me that our rate didn't qualify for complimentary breakfast. Continental was $12 and regular breakfast was $15 or $17. Obviously didn't eat there.

Cons: Front desk staff seemed annoyed everytime I asked a question. I felt because I was not at elite status I was not worth their time.

Pros: Expected quality of Martiott

Cons: No

Pros: Staff are fantastic: welcoming and professional. Perfect for the airport. Good fitness room.

Cons: Beers & wine are expensive!

Pros: Great staff, convenient to airport, good restaurant

Cons: No

Pros: Very friendly staff at desk who took time to check me in when they could not find my reservation. Maybe issue with online company I booked through but they still honored my rate.

Cons: Some issues with the hot water at sink and shower. Was either scalding hot or cold. Hard to tune. Not a deal breaker at all though

Pros: Everything about the hotel was just perfect. It was right down the street from airport and the shuttle takes you there every 30 minutes.

Cons: I had family staying on another floor and the elevator only allows you to go to your floor. Good security but too good I guess

Pros: Location near the airport is its main advantage. Inside is peaceful, clean, modern, and comfortable. Front desk staff gave some great advice including that we return our rental car the night before our early-morning flight, and that the rental car shuttle would bring us back to the hotel. This was the best idea and greatly simplified our morning of departure. The hotel shuttle to the airport was quick and efficient.

Cons: The pool is tiny, and tucked away in a back corner. The cafe/restaurant in the lobby is modern and inviting with a great looking menu, however, our waitress was the slowest on the planet. Every step took about 5 times longer than it should have. Even when we finally caught her eye (the place was 90 percent empty at the time), and indicated that we wanted the bill, she took another 10 minutes to finish sorting cutlery before coming over and putting us out of our misery. The food was good, but the service was terrible.

Pros: Great time at the hotel. Modern, clean, easy to access from the airport.

Cons: No complaints at all

Pros: Close to airport, affordable, queen-sized beds, big enoigh for 4 adults

Cons: Some of the staff wasn't the friendliest, but no one was rude. They were all informative. No complaints!

Pros: Close to airport. Great front desk staff.

Pros: Very close to the airport and a free shuttle every 1/2 hour. A good first or last night stay. 6-7 restaurants right across the parking lot.

Pros: The price for one night was amazing, and the location to the airport was really convenient. If I had a layover in San Jose - Alajuela I would definitely stay there again.

Cons: Continental Breakfast was not included with the deal I got on Kayak.

Pros: El hotel es.bonito

Cons: El servicio es pesimo

Pros: Location, close to the airport and has restaurants available for those arriving in the evening

Pros: We were so pleased we chose this amazingly peaceful oasis of calm, at the end of a driveway away from busy road. Beautiful garden setting with lovely view from large balcony - felt like we had arrived in the rainforest but with the convenience of proximity to the international airport. Aircraft noise was not an issue - surprisingly infrequent, not a problem for a light sleeper. Lovely hosts communicated exceptionally well and went out of their way to help. Breakfast and dining were 10/10 for every aspect - couldn't have asked for more. We would definitely return. Highly recommended!

Cons: After staying in a few rainforest accommodations I have come to expect a few inevitable insects in the room, but there were a few more ants than expected here (harmless and on the floor but maybe an issue for some). Overall, nothing we would have changed!

Pros: The location was beautiful. We felt as though we were in a little Paradise even though we were right in the middle of Alajuela. I wish we could have stayed more nights so we could have enjoyed it more.

Cons: It did get a bit hot while sleeping because the beautiful French doors couldn't be left open because of the bugs. I know it's a difficult situation because if there were screens that you wouldn't have a wide-open feeling but because there was no air conditioning the room got a bit stuffy even with the ceiling fan on.

Pros: It’s next to a river and you can hear the water while you sleep

Pros: Travel reviews don't often mention magic, but this place gets a 10/10 on the magic scale. One of the best (maybe the best) places we stayed on our 11 day visit. Amazing food and so much beauty - the pictures don't do it justice. I almost want to extend our trip just to rest here another night. When we arrived we stayed at an airport express hotel but the vibes there never feel good and the food isn't nourishing. So we tried this Inn on our way out and it was surprisingly lovely and filled with heart and nourishment. I am reminded of how much the subtle energy and intention of a space has an impact on experience. We will be back!

Pros: Amazing family run inn close to the airport. Highly recommend!

Pros: Very peaceful place(8 units) near the airport and away from the hustle bustle of the fast moving city. A quiet sanctuary and the pictures are exactly how it looks. Karem who speaks english very well and her husband give it that extra effort of hospitality. Perfect place to return to!

Cons: Only thing maybe more towels.

Pros: We needed a room close to the airport as my flight was at 1:45am. The gate keeper came to our room to be sure we were up so he could open the gate for us to let is out and the. Of course had to let my boyfriend back in after he dropped me off. That was very nice of him to check on us so I didn't miss my flight it was a shorty

Cons: All was fine. It was a short stay for me

Pros: Very friendly staff, spacey and clean room with good aircon, hot water

Cons: Shower was not working and as soon as water started a horrendous smell took over the whole room. The shower head was encrusted and probably because of that water only came from the tap. The pool and the gym were not enabled.

Pros: nice

Cons: nice

Pros: Excellent

Cons: All Restaurant fabulous

Pros: The staff and food was EXCELLENT! They went out of their way to arrange a rental car agency to come to the hotel and pick up our group. The food at the steakhouse was excellent as well as the breakfast the next morning. We arrived late after our flight and only stayed one night so I can’t speak about the location much, but it was far enough away from the airport that you will not be disturbed by airplanes coming or going. I would recommend this stay to others.

Cons: The beds were a bit more firm than we are accustomed to.

Pros: Very Nice people at the front desk. Clean and very large room .

Cons: Coulis not use the pool...too much windy that day.

Pros: The host! Super sweet, super helpful, like really - when you travel especially solo, you want to meet people like that. Lovely lovely lady!

Cons: If you are a light sleeper - take your earbuds. Can be loud with traffic.

Pros: Close to the airport and rental car companies. Free shuttle to/from airport. Very friendly and helpful staff and owner. Free breakfast. Relaxing pool. I definitely recommend Dos Palmas. It's a great value for the price. Would be good for short or long stay. Beautiful garden/landscaping with birds and butterflies flitting around.

Cons: Beds need more pillows and new sheets. Since this place is located near the airport, there is of course airplane and traffic noise, but this mostly dies down at night.

Pros: Nice and clean. 5min to the airport. Doña Flor is super friendly ! Delicious typical Tico restaurant accross the street !

Cons: Very noisy street.

Pros: The object is offering quite enough for the money. Mrs. Flor (the manager/owner) is extremely helpful. She will try to fulfil every need you require. There is also small swimming pool, so you have some basic amenities for small amount of money.

Cons: The main bad thing is noise. It comes from the main street, which is loud day and night. And the noise also comes from the planes (since the object is quite near the airport). Everything would be much better with just a little better sound insulation.

Pros: Close to the airport with taxi service included. Delightful personnel and a very fine breakfast all included. And of course the room itself was first rate. I will stay again when I pass through San Jose.

Pros: So convenient to the airport. Very secure. Great staff

Pros: The hosts are very kind and carful, the breakfast is delicious. They offer transportation to the airport! I strongly recommend

Pros: Peter & Flor were very helpfull with our special requests!! For which many thanks!! Also the other staff around is very friendly. Room is spacious, big tv in the room and it was nice to have a hot shower! Also the free shuttle from and to the airport is a plus!

Cons: If you want to stay in a quiet area, this is not you’re place (busy street and airplanes flying over). We didn’t care about that, but it’s good to be aware off. Also

Pros: The breakfast was very good

Cons: It was very loud. The airplanes at SJO were very loud.

Pros: Airport shuttle service and adjacent to the airport saved a lot of time

Cons: Breakfast was mediocre

Pros: Large room, comfortable bed, good TV, clean bathroom with good shower. Nice pool and privileged location near the airport.

Cons: There is no fridge in the room. The gym is small and only has cardio equipment.

Pros: Close to the airport .

Cons: The airplanes flying so close to Hotel and the noice .

Pros: rental car

Cons: nothing

Pros: Overall it fits the requirement to be a decent hotel close to the airport. Clean and easy.

Cons: The corridor gets very noisy at night, there is a lot of people passing by at all time since they have flights but it get quite noisy. The shower would need to be improved. There was no hair dryer in the room.

Pros: Customer Service.

Cons: No.

Pros: Jose at the front counter was amazing and efficient.

Cons: Very clean and close to the airport.

Pros: shuttle

Pros: Pool was sparkling clean and beautiful

Cons: No

Pros: Very clean. Nice amenities in the room. Great location near airport with shuttle.

Cons: Breakfast was not as good as other hotels in Costa Rica with pre-prepared foods instead of the custom breakfast at other hotels. Meatballs for breakfast seemed strange.

Pros: Location

Cons: Breakfast horrible

Pros: Location to airport

Pros: Location

Cons: No

Cons: Bill was mixed up & Never did get our points

Cons: many rooms are on the ground floor. they did move me when I requested it but I would not be comfortable staying on the ground floor in this area.

Pros: Shuttle made it convenient to head to the airport. Also appreciated that we could exchange US dollars for CR colones at the front desk.

Pros: Location

Cons: No

Pros: The front desk staff was amazing! They set up travel to dine at a local restaurant and also provided a grab bag for breakfast because we had to leave for the airport before their kitchen opened. Also, their shuttle runs every half hour unlike other hotels

Cons: The hotel is close to the airport which we requested but the aircraft noise was constant through the night.

Pros: Really good breakfast buffet. The hotel staff where really friendly and helpful to me with whatever I needed. They were able to find a rental car for me,in high season at a really good rate. The car was brought to me right to the hotel the very next day.

Pros: We had a number of special requests and they were very gracious. Check in was a breeze

Pros: Location

Cons: We have stayed in this hotel on 5 occasions. On 3 visits we asked for a wake up call and not once did we receive the call on time or at all.

Pros: Close to airport. friendliness of staff.

Cons: This is the 5th and 6th time we have stayed at this hotel. Not once have we received a wake-up call on time, if at all. On 3/11/18 our in room clock woke us up one hour too early, 4am instead of 5am.

Pros: Overall, everything was great. Location is perfect for flying to the airport. Staff was very helpful and really wants to help you! Room was comfortable and clean. 24 hour shuttle was awesome! Great value for the money. For those who arrive at off hours there is a Denny's close by.

Cons: Our only negative was the breakfast which was very processed (e.g. scrambled eggs were bland) and not enough variety for the cost of that hotel.

Pros: Came in on a late flight to San Jose and stopped off at the Holiday Inn Express for a night before jumping off into the Costa Rican countryside in the morning. For this purpose it did exactly what it needed to do. Shuttle bus that picked up at the airport was a plus.

Cons: A little bit pricey for what you get but not acceptable for one night. The breakfast options were pretty basic but in their defense they were a typical Costa Rican style (gallo pinto, eggs, coffee, and some fresh fruits). Traffic at the intersection in front of the hotel can be horrific so keep that in mind if you will be driving. Also, keep an eye out for the shuttle bus that comes around outside of the arrivals area and stops close to the taxi stand. A "helpful" local showed me where to go then just happened to mention that he works on tips. I could have just waited on my own for it...

Pros: Everything was very good. Friendly staff, good breakfast, good parking. Five nights and all went well.

Cons: The traffic at the entry to the hotel is nightmare.

Pros: Bed was comfortable

Cons: The room had a terrible smell. They said you could get wifi in the hotel, but it was really only in the lobby area. The traffic outside is very loud because of a crazy intersection and you can hear planes landing and taking off.

Pros: Very convenient location next to the airport, with a free shuttle to and from the airport, and very good breakfast included. Clean facilities, incredibly friendly and helpful staff, good air conditioning and wifi connection, and very comfortable beds. The perfect choice if you are staying in San Jose for a night when you first arrive in Costa Rica or before your departure. Despite being right next to the airport we didn't notice any noise from air traffic.

Cons: No complaints

Pros: Gorgeous gardens and super friendly staff. They went above and beyond to help us with our rental car and shuttle to airport. The restaurant on the property was actually the best food we had our entire trip. And the free breakfast was no joke-great coffee and breakfast. If you need a place to stay that is convenient to the airport this is the place. It felt like more than just some roadside motel. It was quaint.

Cons: The beds and pillows felt a tad dated? Tiny bit dark. Overall it was comfortable.

Pros: The staff!! Estaban and his co-workers were super nice, welcoming, hospitality-oriented, and the breakfast was very good!

Cons: The sheets and bedding could've been better quality.

Pros: It was 15 min drive from the airport which made it comfortable after a long flight. Rooms were OK, the staff was nice and they had great Costa Rican breakfast option. Also, the hotel has side by side a good and cosy restaurant, for lunch or dinner options. Finally, the garden was nice with great view. Highly recommend as it is great value for money, especially if you arrive after 5 pm in SJO and don’t want to drive at night.

Cons: None.

Pros: We had the best stay at La Riviera. The hotel staff was absolutely amazing! The room was incredible! I can’t say enough good things about our stay. Everything was just fabulous!

Pros: Close to airport, and car rental locations, friendly staff, and hotel nice and clean. Excellent, efficient and convenient shuttle service for both car rental return and ride to airport. Was very nice to not have to worry about any of the transportation. The closed in compound creates a nice, oasis feel in a dense urban area. Would stay here again first or last night. Close to Alejuela and convenient drive to Poas Volcano and views of San Jose.

Cons: Very small room for 2 adults and 2 kids trying to pack up after a lovely vacation. Bed “and breakfast” usually means breakfast is included and not just available, but was the second time we noticed this in Costa Rica. So just be aware of this trend if you are on a tight budget. Still would recommend this spot for its location, friendliness and cleanliness.

Pros: Great location, with a free shuttle to airport. Restaurant serves unbelievable meals. They are very accommodating. Not a whole lot to do in area though.

Pros: The place is beautiful. Clean. Close to airport. Had shuttle that will pick you up at airport. Has a restaurant/bar. Beautiful pool. Perfect place to rest after & before traveling.

Cons: There wasn't anything I didn't like. But it is in a neighborhood that I was not prepared for when in your mind your coming to paradise Costa Rica. It is in the middle of a city neighborhood.

Pros: Free airport shuttle 24/7

Cons: Upon traveling by bus all day to San Jose for my flight out the next morning, I get to the airport to call for my hotel shuttle... and am told there are no rooms for me, the hotel was overbooked. It's 8pm and I'm tired and hungry - the receptionist tells me to come to the hotel through their shuttle and they'll help me find another room. After waiting longer than she said it would take, the shuttle finally arrives and takes me to La Riviera. The lady at the front desk is nice and tells me that they've gotten me a room at comparable hotel right behind theirs. By the time I am finally shuttled over there and checked into my room it is nearly 10pm - too late for me to mess with any other arrangements for a room upon discovering that the room is NOT comparable in any way!! La Riviera looked nice with AC, flatscreen TV, a pool, free breakfast, style... my 'comparable' room, which was two dollars more even, was a hole-in-the-wall hotel down pretty much an alley. The room was a mess with multiple beds (one a bunk bed), AC or TV didn't work - it was a local family room - and no offense to that, but it was a room I'd NEVER pay $70 in Costa Rica for! I signed up to pay that amount for a nice, classy looking room in a hotel with gardens and ambiance! I felt taken advantage of and ripped off, and upon expressing this to the lady at the new hotel was met with nothing but the offer to find another room. Really?! It was too late and I was exhausted!! I wish either Kayak or La Riviera wouldn't have overbooked their rooms OR the lady would have been honest about the 'comparable' room so I could have found another at the airport before being shuttled to their nook in the huge city and essentially locked in at a late hour. This hotel looked super nice, it's a shame! I would never stay here though because of this experience.

Pros: Nice beds and friendly staff

Pros: Ok - I don't eat breakfast

Cons: receptionist gave us bad directions; we wasted an hour going in the wrong direction

Pros: I can't say a single bad thing about this hotel. Clean, comfortable, convenient.

I wished I had booked the first part of my stay here as well.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Room was comfortable, little convenience mart was great, and free shuttle service to the airport was very helpful.

Pros: Great location. Clean. Good breakfast.

Cons: Bed a bit lumpy. Wifi weak.

Pros: My room was clean, the staff was Very Nice. I had to leave very early I didn't have a Chance to eat breakfast, the host was disappointed that I couldn't stay for breakfast (I think she really likes cooking)

Cons: The buzzer is not marked, and of course I didn't have a cr chip in my phone.

Pros: Breakfast was good. Host was very helpful and informative and arranged rental car to be dropped off.

Pros: Amazing staff and breakfast. We arrived late because of a delay, and they woke up to get us settled. They even made breakfast for us even though it was over and it was the simplest, yet amazing breakfast.

Cons: Nothing. An amazing place to stay.

Pros: Mariella was very nice and helpful. The room was clean and quiet. Common area was clean as well, coffee was good.

Cons: It could use a sign, there are no street numbers so it was a little tough to find after a long day of travel.

Pros: Affordable price, close to the airport, very helpful staff, safe neighborhood. The shared kitchen was amazing and had everything you'd need. Great option for a night or two!

Cons: No window in the room, pretty noisy, the owner spoke basic English.

Pros: We stayed one night there on arrival and it was very comfortable, cheap accommodation.

Cons: No window in the bedroom

Pros: Location is quite close to the airport

Pros: Extreme budget location, so you get wat you pay for: a room, a shared bathroom and a shared kitchen. Staff is helpful

Pros: The was cozy clean and comfortable.

Pros: Beautiful hotel with lots of details

Cons: All good

Pros: Hotel 1915 is very well located in the city of Alajuela. Just a 10 minute drive to San Jose airport. My room is small with a tiny window, but the bed was comfortable. The staff were super accommodating. This is a great value for the price I paid.

Cons: My room, number 6, was small and mostly windowless.

Pros: The unique historical property is just lovely! The location is walking distance to many restaurants and close to airport. The staff was very welcoming and helpful with arrangements.

Cons: No hot water in shower ( although that is not uncommon in this area). It was a bit difficult to find the entrance (must ring bell).

Pros: The interior of this place has nice historic touches that are very charming, occasional antiques and the like. The host tried her best to accommodate us.

Cons: Our communications prior to arrival were in English and I anticipated their being someone there to help translate, but that was not the case. We got by but, for example, it wasn't clearly communicated that we would need to put in an order for breakfast the night before. Still she did make us some lovely coffee before we left. Also there is free parking which is a bonus, but the host has to open the gate for you every time you come and go which could get a bit cumbersome. It depends on what you were doing in the area.

Pros: I like the location in Alajuela and when we got up in the morning and got to actually look around the hotel, the hotel was really beautiful and was like the pictures, which is why we booked it. The staff was very nice.

Cons: Our room was by far the worst one in the hotel. There was no decor, the bedspreads had noticeable stains, the shower curtain wasn't hung, the toilet paper roll holder was missing, the lights didn't go completely off in the room so there was a dim light on the ceiling all night long, the room was right on the street and by the reception area so we heard every conversation, every time someone came in the door and the vehicles in the street sounded like it was in the room. It felt like we had been put in a hastily made up broom closet. I could of, maybe, understood getting the worst room in the hotel from a Booking.com reservation if the hotel was full, but when we got up in the morning, it was clear that the hotel was almost completely empty! When we walked around the hotel, all the other rooms were beautiful and charming (we know, because all the doors to the empty rooms were open) and were away from both the street and reception desk. There was no reason that we couldn't have been put in a decent room, away from the street noise. We have to be in Alajuela several times a year. Had we been put in one of the many nice rooms that were available in the hotel, we would probably have made it our go-to hotel whenever we were in Alajuela and recommended it to all of our guests, but now I am hesitant and would want a guarantee of being put in a decent room.

Pros: Two blocks from the central square of Alajuela, 3,000 Colones (5 minute) ride from the airport, Beautiful colonial interiors. Hot water showers, attentive staff, What’s not to love?

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The staff, the breakfast

Pros: The staff and service made the experience exceptional! Very kind people, willing to help and offer suggestions. You can tell that the people there really care about the work they’re doing and about the guests they encounter. Do yourself a favor and stay here!

Cons: It could use some aesthetic and design updates but honestly that feels like such an insignificant issue compared to how wonderful the staff are.

Pros: The staff tried quite hard to be attentive and responsive. The location near the main airport is excellent, as is the transport to and from.
