This was our first trip to Cosa Rico. A friend recommended staying at the Holiday Inn Airport since our flight from DFW arrived after dark. The hotel was great and picked us up from the airport. Our room was similar to what we were used to at home. The staff were friendly and the breakfast gave us our first introduction... More

We stayed in this hotel for one night after arriving from Miami. The Holiday Inn Express has a free shuttle from the airport so you do not have to pay for a taxi. Check-in was pretty easy and fast. We were given a room on the first floor. The room was adequate. It had two double beds. There is a... More

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Airport location on the night of our arrival and the night before we returned home. Our flights to Costa Rica were delayed by weather, and we were dead tired when we got there, so the convenience of the hotel and the nice restaurant right across the street were wonderful. An added bonus was... More

Check-in was very slow (20 min per person). When people jumped the line, it was even worse to stand there and wait. They did has 2 people working the desk. International phone calls are free, Domestic calls cost. Room was standard HI Express. The bed was extremely firm, too much so for my preference. The A/C is either on or... More

We booked this place as a place to sleep the night before heading home to Colorado via SJ International. Well... It provided us with a convenient place to stay, but the convenient location is a plus and a minus. You can get to the airport quickly via shuttle no problem, but the hotel is (literally) across the street from the... More

Great location away from downtown San Jose but close enough to visit. Very clean and friendly with pool and tennis court. Happy hour was nice with a Denny's and a good local cafe nearby. More

We stayed 2 times. Nice, clean rooms and a very friendly hotel staff. Easy to acces when you need the airport and / or rental car facilities in Costa Rica. Restaurant across the street. Safe parking lot. We would always return when going to Costa Rica! More

We arrived in the early evening after an 9 hr wait in Newark and a 5.5 hr flight so we were naturally totally exhausted. Check in was very easy and efficient. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. The room was one of the cleanest that we had ever experienced and the bed was wonderful. First time I was ever in... More

We stayed here twice, on the way to Tamarindo and on the way back a week later. The staff was incredibly helpful. Our luggage was delayed and they provided us with free toiletries and offered helpful information on the local area. Our room was clean, cozy and comfortable and breakfast was great. Loved that there are open restaurants and even... More
