Comfortable and Convenient Stay
Pros:

We stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott near San José Airport after our flight plans changed, so we had to book a room at the last minute. It turned out to be a great choice.

We used the hotel's airport shuttle service, which was convenient and easy to arrange. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. The hotel was very clean and well maintained, and our room was spacious and comfortable.

Overall, it was a very pleasant stay, and we would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay near the airport.

Cons:

No complaints. We had a pleasant stay.

Convenient hotel close to SJO
Pros:

Convenient location for an early morning flight out of SJO. 5 min drive to terminal and run every 30mins apparently. Clean and quiet room. Restaurant options opposite (Mexican was ok) and Walmart 5 mins walk. No breakfast as left too early

Cons:

Not a lot. Price a bit high
