Airport oasis
Pros:

Nice little private oasis right next to the airport, great spot to decompress on your last night in Costa Rica would highly recommend and will use this location again

Very expensive for the poor quality offered
Pros:

Close to the airport and convenient for a quick transfer.
Old rooms with out of date furniture and lack of comfort. It's probably the only hotel in Costa Rica without a coffee machine in the room! Bad sound isolation, so you can hear the main road and the airplanes just next door. It's hard to sleep.
They don't respect the check-in time. I arrived in the afternoon long after check-in time and still have to wait for some time for the room to be ready.
The free transfer service to the airport must be at certain times, otherwise you have to pay for the service! It's doesn't make any sense!
As an airport hotel, they should have a breakfast service for early check-outs. They service only starts at 7 am and if you leave earlier they don't provide any option (like a package meal).
For the price they charge, better look for other accommodation options.

Very noisy but comfortable and friendly
Pros:

We only stayed one night here after a long flight to San Jose. Close to the airport appealed when I booked it, but oh my goodness the noise from the flights departing!!! Room was comfortable though, had a nice little restaurant and bar. Super friendly staff.

Very small two bed rooms.
Pros:

Mango Hotel is almost impossible to get to from it's street entrance. You have to drive into super busy congested in on coming traffic into a very short driveway next to a bus stop. Your best bet to avoid an accident is to go up the street where there is room to turn an go back down the same side of the street that the hotel is on.
The two bed room that we stayed in for one night was very small, no closet,ironing board and iron. The cable TV was only spanish speaking channels. The Breakfast was very good but you must be there on your appointed time. There us only parking directly next to the check in entrance because supposedly the garage is under construction.

So helpful
Pros:

This hotel was such a pleasant surprise in the heart of San Jose, and so close to the airport. They even helped us have our rental car picked up at the hotel ( which we didn’t know we could do) and gave us a ride to the airport! This made the last leg of our adventure super easy and much less stressful!

Pros:

My son and I used this hotel for an overnight stay arriving at San Jose before an early morning start traveling to Montezuma, they were helpful and friendly so we also used this hotel on the return journey. The only slight downslide is breakfast doesn’t start util 7 so we missed it as we had early starts both legs of the journey, however they do provide coffee and biscuits at the reception but the option of an early packed breakfast as some hotels do would have been nice. The use of the pool was a very nice extra, especially with my 2.5 year old, and also the airport shuttle made things a little easier, I would be happy to use this hotel again.

Lovely stay, attentive staff
Pros:

Great 1-night stay before heading to Arenal. Close to airport (5 min drive). Check in was smooth, room was comfortable. Service was amazing - Raffaella who checked me in was gentle and kind and Carlos who prepared my breakfast was very attentive. It was a good stay to recover from a long flight before my onward journey. Only regret isn’t being able to enjoy the pool as it was raining!

Pros:

At first the hotel and grounds looked very nice. Yes, you hear the airplanes, but it is right next to the airport- that is why we stayed here for a night. However, during the night I got up to use the bathroom-there were flying ants everywhere! Crawling up the walls, shower curtain, toilet, sink, floors- We got dressed and left to the airport immediately!
