I spent 4 nights (May 29-June 1, 2008) and one night (June 14, 2008). I booked a $80.00 90 minute deep tissue massage ( May 30 mid afternoon) for 7:00 pm the same day. I asked the Spa receptionist whether or not I could charge the massage to my room. She stated that I couldn't ;I would have to pay... more

A good standard hotel 15 mins bus ride from San Jose centre. We were advised by a number of people to stay at this hotel in Irazu rather than the Best Western closer to the city centre and it was good advice. Downtown San Jose didn't feel like a place we wanted to be in the evenings. Amenities at the... more

We stayed at the Best Western Irazu for our first night in Costa Rica, before we began our vacation in earnest. The hotel is American style within an easy and inexpensive cab ride of downtown San Jose. Everything is OK but not spectacular. A lot of tour groups and school groups use this hotel as a starting point so check-in... more

Stayed on arrival for my first 4 days in C.R. while getting dental work in San Jose (a good reason/huge $ savings to visit CR btw), and again upon departing night a week later. Received a good, American quality, 4th floor pool facing room of 3 star+ American equivalence in all ways that included very adequate b'fast at Denny's (attached... more

Wireless internet on the room? It never worked (still you will have to pay for it) Front desk? I prefer to skip this one, if I don't I will be using bad words. Food? Denny's it's all you can get at this hotel. more

I am Ecuadorian and this hotel makes you feel like you are in the USA, which is Ok for me, but an American may want to try local feeling. Regarding accomodations, they were clean but a little old. No complaints though. There are some rooms with a nice pool front veranda and some others with only a window to the... more

Stayed here the night before and the night after Jaco Beach. It was OK for a lay over. The hotel bar was creepy and I felt safe enough to pass out after the flight. I wouldn't stay here to 'do San Jose'. 'Nuff said. more

Irazu is a ok place if you want to be in san Jose. I paid just over $100 for my room. I was a little disappointed by the room size and the furnishings were "average" ....something you would see in a Best Western back in the states. I was shocked when I ordered room service (Denny's is in the Hotel)... more

It's a good hotel in terms of location, staff, grounds, and ease. They have an internet room, which is very nice, and Denny's, which is good for a smooth transition into a culture change. The rooms, however, vary. We stayed one night at the beginning of our trip in a beautiful room that looked as if it had recently been... more
