Hampton by Hilton San Jose Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The shuttle to and from the airport made it very easy to travel and say goodbye to family members that travelled at different times than we did"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Jose Aeropuerto, Costa Rica

6/10 Okay

"Overall the property was clean, beautifu and had very helpful staff, however, the rooms were a different story at least for my experience. The room had a musty smell to it and the bathroom had mold. Some of the outlets didn't work which were a little inconvenient but there were others to use thankfully. Bathroom is on the smaller side but still generally enough space. Seating was very limited at breakfast, but the staff did try to have a quick table turnover for people that were waiting. Breakfast was limited in options and fruits ran out within the first 10 minutes of opening time... not sure how quickly more became available if any. Dinner was slow and quiet with not much people attending. Prices were reasonable and staff was great! Drinks were good and the food came out hot with no long wait time. They also closed late which was nice for people who had long days and wanted to have dinner on the late side. Private shuttle was available for flights earlier than 5:15am also at a reasonable price, which we utilized. We checked Uber pricing and there wasn't a great difference, however, you have a more secured transportation going through the hotel than you do Uber considering the time that you might be leaving for the airport."

Wyndham San Jose Herradura Hotel & Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Julio was the absolute best! My husband and I went to Barcelo Tambor for our anniversary. We paid for 6 nights and stayed 4. The staff and people at the resort made it very clear that Americans weren’t welcome. We packed and left to find a hotel in San Jose and we decided on the Wyndham. Julio was there every step of the way and made us feel very welcome and we joked with him why we should’ve just stayed there the whole week! He gave us a local restaurant to try and it didn’t disappoint! We loved our stay here and the entire staff was very welcoming and helped with anything that we needed! I HIGHLY suggest staying here! And it is only a 10 min drive to the San Jose airport!!!"
