“Best Place to Stay in San Jose for Business”

Reviewed June 16, 2013 NEW

I stayed here in December 2011 for 3 weeks. It is by far the best place to stay in San Jose for business. I was in a corner suite on an upper floor, and the furniture was in great condition - the room was welcoming and nice to come back to after a long day out. The room had 2... More

I have stayed in this hotel on many occasions and recently stayed again in a corner room on the 7th floor. Very nice room, excellent view. I also was upgraded to the Executive lounge, which has a small, free breakfast with fruit, cereal, pastries, juice, coffee, etc as well as drinks and snacks in the evening. I was also able... More

My BF and I stayed her for a few nights recently. We were on the executive floor, had a beautiful Corner room with an AMAZING view. The room was clean, nice bathroom and shower, and the bed great.

We reviewed your comments carefully and are glad you found the hotel was clean and relaxing. We are sorry the Jacuzzi was not warm enough for you and that the pool deck was not cool enough for you. Although prostitution is legal in Costa Rica between consenting adults, we discourage guests from inviting prostitutes to their rooms and use the... More

We stayed here twice in one week, in the beginning and in the end of our trip.

“Needs major updating”

Reviewed May 16, 2013

This hotel location is superb and the public areas are nice and comfortable. The business center, though, is in utter disrepair with two broken chairs and computers needing a password to access the Internet. No paper in the printer which requires a trip to the Front Desk to get paper. Two of the computers will not accept the password that... More

Dear samf5050, Thank you for your review and being so detailed in the good, the bad and the opportunities to improve.

“Fantastic Service, Excellent Location!”

Reviewed May 14, 2013 via mobile

We arrived at the Holiday Inn just before 10am. We were exhausted from our flight! It was about a 35-minute drive from the airport. I didn't think we could check-in that early because on paper, we were informed check-in was at 3pm, but everything went very smoothly! We really truly appreciated that our early check-in went hassle-free! We were able... More
