Hotel Presidente
The rooms are basic but big and spotlessly clean. The staff are very friendly and try to help whenever they can. The breakfast room is very stylish and the choice good with a nice range of general breakfast choices and local Costa Rican dishes. A good hotel.

Barceló San José
Very nice hotel with excellent amenities. The free airport shuttle doesn’t run very often, so we weren’t able to use it. The location is cocked by highways so you need a taxi to go almost anywhere if you want to explore the city or eat outside of the hotel.

Wyndham San Jose Herradura Hotel & Convention Center
Rooms were dated. Windows did not completely close. Beds were clean air conditioning was good. I do not know if there were elevators to any other rooms but we had to go up and downstairs. They were a little unsteady and we are in our 70s. The worst part of it all was no hot water! That is the worst ...
