During our three week vacation this was the only hotel that offered a buffet of fresh fruit. All other hotels served fruit on a plate. We liked the arrangement in this hotel, because you could choose which fruit you wanted to have on your plate.

The hotel looks nice and is very clean. The staff at the reception and in the shuttle busses was very helpful. The room was very big, it even had a tiny kitchenette and a a desk. Next to the hotel are two restaurants.

We had a great start of our holiday here after a late flight arrival. The staff is very friendly and willing to help. They serve different types of breakfast according to your preferences. The swimming pool is beautiful, located between restaurant and garden and has enough towels and chairs. We definitely recommend to start or finish your holiday in this place.

In all areas, I give the highest scores I've ever given.
Many travelers prefer "less risk" and will go to someplace like Fairfield Inn or a Holiday Inn Express, because one can have more confidence that everything will be as expected.
With a smaller boutique place like 1915, I understand why risk-averse folks will not give it a try (they will stick with the Fairfield Inn and will eat at Denny's because they get what they are accustomed to).
A beautiful building built in 1915, and the inside is gorgeous.
I loved the common areas where I planted myself when I was working on the computer.
I loved the location--I ditched my rental car and came back with a taxi, because Alajuela is a place for walking. I love the location and the walks....such great little restaurants and shops.
Great breakfast.
FAbulous staff that really looked out for me.

Love this place! It's got a post-colonial/Graham Greene/Early Bond vibe going on. The kind of place where the CIA would meet shady local informants to do deals but in very cool surroundings. It's totally incongruous as well, off what is essentially a loud, busy ring road there's this oasis of calm and cool. Think wood paneling, low lighting with a scattering of objects d'art around and maybe a martini or two and you've got the vibe. Awesome place and would 100% recommend.

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.
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 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.
I loved the fact that’s it’s a resort but it’s in the nature and not crowded, like a boutique resort. Wonderful room, amazing view, nice environment and atmosphere. Good breakfast with a view. You can hike to waterfalls from the hotel, inside the resort ! And there is a little farm with animals, my child loved it. Not far away from the airport so that’s very convenient when we arrive/depart from San Jose and there are plenty of things to do around, including visiting the volcan Poas.
It was a good typical breakfast. The pool was lovely and the view spectacular. The staff were friendly. Not their issue that the rooms shown when booking are not the room given on arrival. They are doing their best. This place has huge potential if managed correctly. Money needs to be invested. The Mirador del Valle restaurant is 300 meters from hotel. Same gorgeous view, excellent service and the food was amazing.
My wife changed hotels due to the latest hurricane affecting the area. I called in advance to notify them that she won't be arriving that day due to the closure of some section of the highway to San Jose. We changed to Hampton Inn in Alajuela, and the staffers made the difference! She stayed for a week in comfort.
The hotel was not too far from the airport which was perfect as we had arrived late in San Jose. The breakfast was excellent, the best I’ve had in Costa Rica so far. The hotel has lovely gardens, well kept pool and a good pool table. A nice place to relax and take in the lush surroundings.
