The king size bed was so heavenly! The room was spacious and clean. I didn't like the smell of the soaps and shampoos provided, but I had my own anyway. There is no countertop space in the bathroom but that wasn't much of an issue. We didn't get to explore the hotel much, but it was a nice stay. It was a 30 minute drive to the airport without traffic, but the driver told us it can take up to an hour and a half in heavy traffic!

Only 30 min from the airport, up in the coffee covered hills above the very vibrant Alajuela neighborhood, is the best, not too expensive hotel in San Jose. Wonderful staff, beautiful grounds and gardens, nice food and a very relaxing setting. We really enjoy spending our last night, after puddle jumping and before getting on that big old jet liner, just decompressing in affordable luxury. Go there, you'll be glad you did.
