We had a wonderful stay the night before our flight out of SJO. The staff was welcoming and knowledgable. We were given a beautiful and clean room, which was quite comfortable, as well. The staff recommended nearby restaurant options, and remembered us when we returned in the morning to check out. We will definitely stay here the next time we fly to SJO. Thank you!
I stayed here with 10 other family members & couldn't be happier! The price was amazing & the staff the nicest I've ever met. And after a week in the jungle the free washers and dryers were a great surprise
This hotel is super close to the airport. It's clean and comfortable and we absolutely loved the beds - since we'd just spent a week on less pleasant mattresses. LOL. The City Mall is within a 10 minute walk and there are several restaurants in the strip mall right by the hotel. If you think you're going to get souvenirs at the Walmart next door, think again. The best they have in that department is coffee and chocolate - no shirts, magnets, or knickknacks. (However, there is a knickknack store in the mall and a bunch in the airport. The lobby even has some goodies if you're desperate.) The pool was cold but we went at night. The laundry area is free of charge, but you'll need to either bring or purchase detergent. Breakfast was ok, but the eggs really could use seasoning. Overall, we loved this hotel and would definitely stay again. PS: If you want to turn the AC on in your room, you have to insert one of the key cards into a holder that turns it on. Pretty cool feature but irritating if you don't know to look for it. :)
Nothing special, nothing noteworthy, nothing unpleasant, standard Courtyard hotel. Pro is its proximity to the SJO airport. Con is the expensive restaurant (does anyone really pay USD 20.00 for burger at a place like Courtyard?). Overall, no surprises!
Our family of four has stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela hotel multiple times. It is our go-to hotel for the overnight stay in San Jose. The shuttle service to/from the San Jose Juan Santa Maria airport is always on-time and friendly. This hotel is top notch. The staff is always helpful and the chef at the delicious restaurant even comes out to greet us after our supper. The rooms are spotless and comfortable. The pool and exercise room are clean and current. The hotel is close to the airport, so there are no worries about getting to the airport late. We will stay again and again.
Convenient, congenial and hospitable staff, great restaurant
My flight was delayed so my mom called to let them know we would be late. Check in was over at 12 and shuttle at 1 am. We arrived to the airport past 1:10 am and they were waiting for us with shuttle and at the front desk. It was nice after a 2 hour delay to be taken care of .
We stayed here because of the close proximity to the airport and also Budget/Apex rental car company. The hotel is nice and is right next to the Wal-Mart and also a strip mall. Also, the hotel has a restaurant and bar. The room was clean and very quiet and comfortable. The mattress was a little on the firm side, but comfortable enough. I would recommend this hotel.
Nice hotel great friendly staff. Excellent breakfast. Clean rooms and good work out facility
Wonderful stepping and out point to enjoy Costa Rica
It's ok, breakfast should have more variety. Walmart is very close, you can walk and is 2 minutes from the hotel. Also the Plaza that is in the front offers some bars and restaurants, so you can have a good meal.
We booked here last minute as my two-year-old son was not enjoying his time in San Gerardo de Dota and we decided to stay closer to SJO for our last night in Costa Rica. This was a really nice, newer hotel, and the rooms were in great shape. They had a manager's reception the night we were there and everyone was very nice. As for location, it's very convenient to the airport, there are a number of (pricey) restaurants across the street, and there is a Wal-Mart next door. The hotel is otherwise somewhat isolated from the surrounding area, which isn't a bad thing. There is a gated parking lot in the back as well.
It was a very nice hotel! I loved it there... Very Clean and modern! I would recommend this hotel to all of my friends... There was also a Walmart Right next door!!
We arrived late in the night. but the staff was accommodating. The complimentary breakfast was delicious. Overall great for a quick stay.
walkable to grocery next door and places to eat across the st. good option for close airport stay that is not too expensive.
Great hotel! Rooms were very clean and had comfortable beds. Staff very friendly and check-in/out process was smooth. Great place to stay if you have an early flight the next day. Very close to the airport and hotel provides free shuttle service. Would stay here again!
Staff were friendly and accommodating. We had a spur of the moment decision of staying in the city prior to heading to our destination and this hotel was perfect for that kind of thing. Will definitely recommend to families and friends travelling to Costa Rica
Spent the night before leaving to go back to the U.S.
This hotel exceeded our expectations, it was tastefully decorated and very comfortable for a quick stay before catching a flight back home.
Stayed night before flying home. Quite comfortable.
