Everything has been thought of. It was especially useful to have free international telephone calls. The coffee maker in the room was also excellent. The room was clean, comfortable, plenty of storage and every facility that would be required. Spacious bathroom. I had time to enjoy the pool area which was clean with well tended gardens. Breakfast offered everything you could wish for. There were ice machines in the corridors. A very comfortable stay. I had express checkout so no need to stop by the desk the following day.However the staff were very helpful and friendly and called to ensure everything was fine with my room. If visiting that area of Costa Rica again I would definitely choose this hotel.

It was clean and comfortable, the breakfast was great, I like a buffet breakfast. Very close to the airport and a free shuttle to the airport. The guy on reception when we first arrived was not very friendly, but when we were leaving in the morning a different guy was very nice.

Convienience to the airport and I really like the fact that I was able to have free international call to home (Canada) Thank you. I wish I could have enjoyed the pool, but it rained upon my arrival and was a bit chilly. The beds were uncomfortable, but then I really like a softer matress, and the fact that I was on my way back to Canada, I didnt want to leave Costa Rica ;)

It was very important to us to be able to stay close to the airport because we had an early morning flight on our return. It was great that we were offered free shuttle to the airport that morning. We were able to turn in our rental car a day earlier. The bed was a bit too hard....if this is my only complaint, you did a great job

Near the airport. Clean. Shuttle bus. Breakfast. You know what to expect when you go to Holiday Inn. The noise in the room, like a transfo or something like that...

Very convenient for airport. Excellent, quick and frequent airport shuttle. We paid for breakfast, but we checked out too early for this, so were offered a carry-out breakfast instead. This turned out to be a bag with a bottle of water, a banana and a muffin in it. Very poor, and this should have been explained as I asked to cancel the breakfast.

Location next to airport, free shuttle service which was available whenever we needed it. Denny's restaurant next door. Clean, tidy and pretty quiet, recommended if you have a very late arrival or early departure from San Jose airport The take-out breakfast was a little small, but other than that, no complaints!

Very average. The only positive is that it is close to the airport and therefore convenient in waiting for a flight. My room (201) was immediately above the automatic sliding door of the hotel entrance. Every time someone entered or left the hotel, I would hear these doors "swoosh" as if they were in the room. Because this was at random intervals, I got no sleep.

The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. We appreciated the proximity to the rental car agencies (across the parking lot from Thrifty and Budget), the free internet and printing services, the comfortable king bed, the clean room and bathroom (found a bug but not uncommon for Costa Rica), and the delicious breakfast (ham, eggs, cereal, toast, fresh fruit). Shuttle to the airport ran every 15min, 24 hours, and free international calls included.
