Great place in a fantastic location. The views were gorgeous and we loved sitting on the veranda watching the sunset. It’s in a good place for visiting Poas Volcano and the La Paz Waterfall Gardens and is only about 25 kms. from the airport. There were some stores and restaurants in walking distance and a quirky cafe where the owner has let his imagination run wild. The couple in charge of the hotel were super-friendly and helpful. Comfortable room and beautiful grounds, with cute rabbits!

It's an old bustling town.

It's an old bustling town. Took me an hour to find my meeting point with my DiDi driver. We both kept moving which wasn't good. Lots of one way streets made it challenging to get to each other! Found what I needed in town though and that was good. The sidewalks are rough which made wheeling my luggage difficult. It's a good overnight from the airport before heading off on an adventure or before flying out the next day.

Alajuela is the area of metro San Jose that is next to the airport. Old central american town center with some old buildings and then various neighbouroods around it. Really not much to see. Main reason to be here is the airport.

I was there one night because it was close to the airport. I would not hang out there for a significant length of time. Not a good place to be after dark. Also came across a suitcase on a sidewalk. It had obviously been stolen and rummaged through.

Just a medium sized town with everything you need.

Just a medium sized town with everything you need. There is a Wal Mart, Denny's and lots of other restaurants, stores and cafes. There is not a lot to see in the town for tourists, but it is easy to get into San Jose where you can get a bus to Jaco which has a great beach. You can walk into the town easily and it felt very safe, but I recommend taking the local bus. I would only go here to get to another place, but for a day or 2 it is a nice town to visit.

San Jose and the area around the airport doesn't have much to recommend it beyond getting in and out of the country. After driving around for two hours to see the highlights, we agreed we couldn't get out of the city fast enough. We ate at the Taj Mahal location near the hotel (had come highly recommended as we'd heard it was the best Indian food around and was an iconic location with peacocks walking around, etc), but the airport location is just an open air restaurant in a strip mall next door to a Starbucks.

Good location near Airport. Free shuttle Bus.Attentive staff.Clean quiet hotel. Breakfast - good. Tip - don’t go to nearest restaurants - they’re expensive and nothing special. Rather take Uber for 3-4 usd and go to better restaurant ( for example to Cevichitos Alajuela Centro - superb fresh food and reasonable prices)
