Top hotels in Santa Teresa
Wyndham San Jose Herradura Hotel & Convention Center
The Hotel has been here a very long time and unfortunately is in need of a big overhaul, imo. Beds fine, and brekkie buffet was very good. Two restaurants on site unfortunately were out of a few menu items for dinner, and their Pattacones were as hard as Hockey Pucks and totally unedible at the Casino ...

Barceló San José
Hotel was ok but towels were dirty and we had to ask several times for something. There was not a lot of thank you and sure, it was okay but not the 4-5 star standard you’d expect.

Hilton Garden Inn San Jose Airport City Mall
Loud. Could hear the highway traffic...loud bikes and truck air brakes. Thin walls and lousy pillows. Will not stay again.
