Stayed at the Hampton Inn for our first night in Costa Rica after a 9:30 pm arrival. I wanted something easy to get to that wouldnt be a "culture shock for the first night." Hampton Inn was perfect. Walked out of the airport and there was a Hampton Inn employee asking if we were booked at the Hampton Inn. When... More

I can't imagine why anyone would stay here for more than a one night layover. This is one of those hotel complexes that's just outside the airport... In it, you'll find tons of things that cater to Americans who are afraid to venture into the city... There's a Denny's, a casino, a Hampton Inn, a Holiday Inn Express, and some... More

This was the perfect place to stay for our last night in Costa Rica! It is very close to the airport and the shuttle runs 24 hours a day. We had to leave too early to have breakfast at the hotel, but it looked like they had a very nice dining area. The rooms are very clean. The beds are... More

We stayed here when we arrived at San Jose at midnight. Free shuttle bus from the airport was easy 5 minute drive. The staff were friendly and the room was clean and comfortable.

Staying at the hotel for one night to leave in the next morning by private transport to Manuel Antonio. The hotel really is in an excellent location with very close proximity to the airport. There is another Holiday Inn property close by. And yes, the Denny's is in walking distance within the properties' grounds. There is also a casino in... More

We stayed here our first night in San Jose, before we headed out to the Pacific coast. We were surprised to find the hotel shuttle waiting for us outside the front doors of the airport. We weren't renting a car, so it was very convenient to hop on the shuttle and get to the hotel within about 10 minutes. The... More

Pricey (almost $150/night), but you can't beat the location of this Hampton Inn. Most of the car rental agencies are right across the parking lot. It's true that there's a Denny's and that's about it, but right around the corner was a local steakhouse that we were referred to by the front desk and LOVED! No touristas there! And the... More
