“A little bit of America abroad”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 22, 2013

It's just like a Hampton Inn in the US, but in better condition and with very good staff. No complaints other than the in room WiFi was close to non-functional.

It is very convenient for the airport, but really badly signposted. Just follow the signs for the Holiday Inn which is next door. The big problem is the price.

“Stayed here 2 nights - hotel staff were amazingly helpful when I got sick the 2nd night.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 20, 2013

We stayed here the night of our arrival and the night before an early departure. The 2nd night I became very ill and it was scary to be sick in a foreign land and knowing I HAD to make my 7AM flight the next morning. The hotel staff - one person in particular (manager?) was incredibly helpful - she really went above and beyond - found an English speaking doctor to come to the hotel within about a half hour. One hour later I had been diagnosed, medicated, and in bed. Then, because most of our cash had been stolen the day before, she arranged for the doctor to be paid by the hotel and charged our credit card. Room was clean, beds very comfortable and breakfast much better than the usual free hotel breakfasts.

“Perfect Airport Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 17, 2013

We arrived in CR @ 8:30 PM, and by the time we had collected our luggage & gone through customs, it was just ideal to get on the Hampton Inn shuttle. We were in our quiet, immaculate room by 9;30 PM and had a great night's sleep on their comfortable bed. We woke up refreshed and ready to tackle the dicey drive to Los Suenos in daylight. The breakfast was excellent.
Suggestion: supply shower caps
PS charging $2 dollars for a can of coke is obscene!

“Pleasant surprise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 17, 2013

An agent placed us in this hotel which is close to the airport and we were very pleasantly surprised. The rooms are clean, large and nice, it has a small pool, good breakfast, free wi-fi and very friendly staff. Can't ask for more. And there's no noise from the airport inside the rooms.

5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 16, 2013

we are buddy pass travellers and stayed two days in Hampton while waiting for our flight back to the us. A very nice place to stay an overnight or more. Close to some attractions in Costa Rica. We have had an unplanned trip to La Paz Waterfalls and Gardens: a really best we have ever seen in Costa Rica

Room Tip: we were stayed in a double with extra bed for our kid. Quite enough space in a room. A very good opt...
