Location was quiet but convenient. Breakfast was made to order (eggs, toast, cheese, fruit…) Dinner menu included a nice organic chicken soup which was delicious. After being out all day, it was convenient to have dinner by the fireplace, a few steps from our room.

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.

We spent the night here because it was near the airport, as we had an early morning flight. We just dropped off our rental car, which was conveniently located near the hotel, and then went to bed early.

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.

Great location in the heart of downtown Alajuela. Friendly staff, albeit slow check-in process. That said, a great spot for an overnight before or after a flight. Certainly, one of the best options in Alajuela (going on 14 years of living in Costa Rica and flying in/out of SJO regularly) that isn't absurdly priced like a $200 Holiday Inn. Included transport to the airport and breakfast are a huge bonus for this price!

The transport to the hotel back and forth I paid a taxi. Because the hotel said that they only provided the Shuttle service until 13 Hrs. The breakfast was superb, very tasty and the best coffee. The staff was kind, friendly and attentive. I will return.
