The shuttle never showed up at the designated site #13 at the airport. Waited for an hr. Hotel email states every 20 min shuttle service. Then took the taxi. Too many guys there try to get money from you and the taxi wants $50 to go one km to hotel. So had a very bad exprience. And other clients might have the same experience. This was the second time. Happening. Hope the manger of the hotel correct this problem. Thank you.

So perfect to have right by the airport. We stayed here for one night on either end of our trip. They are super nice and the rooms are great. The shuttle is extremely convenient. Will always stay here if we need to stay by the airport!

We stayed for one night prior to our flight the next morning. The staff was courteous and helpful. The hotel is spotless and the morning complimentary breakfast was better than here in the states at the higher end hotels. It’s across the street from the airport so it’s easy in and out. Beware of the Denny’s next door. Less than stellar staff with fine dining prices for Denny’s style food. Not much food choices within walking distance but a short drive up the street has way better food. We would stay there again.

Very friendly staff, especially the shuttle driver! The room was clean, cool, and comfortable. The breakfast was great...a lot of options! We will stay here again when we need a place near SJO.

This was a great option for an overnight stay to prepare for an early morning flight. The best option due to the shuttle service from the hotel to the airport. We were surprised by the complementary breakfast bag they gave us since we left for the airport before breakfast was served. The beds weren’t the most comfortable but again it was just for one night so it was tolerable.

Great location to the airport and for tour pick-ups. The breakfast was amazing and the pick-up/drop-off airport transport was easy. Rooms were clean and the staff was super nice and helpful.
