Expensive for a basic hotel
Pros:

Location; next to the airport with bus shuttle.The room was clean but not exceptional. The beds were comfortable.

Cons:

The price/quality ratio is ridiculous. It seemed inspired in similar hotels in the US but at a higher price! The breakfast was very basic. From all the places we stayed in Costa Rica this was by far the most expensive and also the worse. It kind of takes advantage of the fact that the alternatives in town are risky and can compromise flights and are risky due to high traffic possibilities, so they charge because they can, as do other similar surrounding hotels. Would be perfectly fine for half the price, but this was taking advantage.

Good hotel close to the airport
Pros:

Very close to the airport, ideal when arriving on a late flight. We had a huge room, extremely comfortable bed. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was pretty good.

Cons:

Air con unit was pretty big and loud, we were so tired it disturb us too much but could severely impact less tired, light sleepers.

Pros:

This was very close to the airport. Very convenient for a late flight into San Jose.

Cons:

The beds were not comfortable, felt very outdated, amenities were not up to standard. Overall just simply not worth the value you pay.
