    Alajuela is a nice area to spend a night or two.

    Alajuela is a nice area to spend a night or two. There are plenty of restaurants and stores around the area. The prices are fairly reasonable and that is a good thing since Costa Rica is more on the expensive side. The are also seems pretty safe.

    This is very close to SJO Airport. Great for before or after flights for that reason (I stayed after and before flights). Alajuela street layout is easy to navigate. Tons of restaurants and shops in the vicinity.

    I think most travelers would not spend more than two nights in Alajuela- 1 inbound and 1 outbound. I spent 5+2 nights in Alajuela while I was getting ready for my family members' visits spread over a few days. Our "suburban" enclave was up-to-date with modern facilities, and close to Alajuela near the Freeway 1. The location where we stayed was "authentic" with a tiny super, a cute bakery, a soda, and the most delightful neighbors. I could almost stay to learn the language. :0

    I stayed pretty close to a large shopping mall--just a few blocks away--so the restaurant options were great. I ate at "Mahalo"--great poke! The house is within a few miles of the airport, so getting there only cost 3 colones, and I took a Tuasa bus (for about two dollars) to get to Alajuela from downtown San Jose. The only "negative" is that there were traffic sounds, but they settled down when it got later. I would definitely stay in Alajuela again. I felt completely safe walking back alone at night after dinner.

    The area is fun and easy to get around.

    The area is fun and easy to get around. There are many small stores, but no good supermarkets. TONS of cafes and fast food places, so getting something to eat is easy. I'd go there again, but there's not a ton to do unless you enjoy sitting in parks, which I do.

    I only walked around the immediate area of the hotel . I had no need to explore the town as I had a demanding schedule upon arrival and prior to departure . This was just super convenient to the airport.

    We chose a location close to the airport, good price, no luxury. We got what we paid for: in the vibrant and authentic old town of Alajuela (what is much more attractive than the huge city area of San Jose), a familiar bed and breakfast, with a nice little room for a fair price. The staff is very friendly and they serve a well organized breakfast in the pretty patio. They organized us a taxi that appeared exactly at 4 pm and the very important sense of staying there was done perfectly. Thanks for this great stay!

    I chose Park View hotel because of its location and good price. I wasn't disappointed - it's a short taxi ride from the airport and was relatively cheap compared to many San Jose hotels. Although the staff didn't speak much English, we managed to understand each other. Breakfast was good and the staff were helpful.
