Our very early morning flight from the San Jose airport required us to stay near the airport. They provide 24 hour shuttle service as well as a bagged breakfast available at the check out counter consisting of a muffin, water, fruit bar and an apple. It will do for a 4:00 am departure from the hotel. If you have a later flight, they do have a complementary breakfast bar. Since we arrived the night before, we were able to walk to the nearby Denny's restaurant for dinner. Convenient but just a Denny's. The hotel does not have a restaurant.

I chose this hotel for airport convenience and familiarity before an early AM flight. From the efficient shuttle driver to the gracious reception staff to our comfy, sparkling room and fresh, tasty breakfast, this ranks as the nicest Hampton Inn I've visited. They have a mini-store adjacent to reception that offers snacks, wine and beer - very handy if you just want to chill in your room vs. eat out. They also feature a gift shop with a diverse, quality mix of jewelry and souvenirs, making it easy to trade surplus colones for last minute gifts!

I only had 4 full days in Costa Rica and the Hampton Inn was exactly what I needed for the end of a 16 day trip in South America. It was so nice to have all the comforts of Hampton--super comfortable bed with plenty of pillows; a great bathroom with excellent water pressure, lots of hot water, plenty of plush towels; a laundry facility; a nice little outdoor pool; good breakfast selection; a tour desk with a great concierge who help me set up all my tours. The only complaint was that the day I left, a Saturday morning, they don't provide the take-away breakfast brown bag. Even though the hotel is close to the airport, the flight noise was not too bad. The airport shuttle service was great. Nice to have a couple restaurant choices within walking distance. If I go back to San Jose, I would definitely stay at the Hampton again.

After charging a lot more than other hotels in the area that we have stayed at, this hotel had the balls to charge us an additional fee of $20.00 for our lawyer to come to our room for 15 minutes to sign some papers. When asked, the front desk staff said it was "Policy". I explained who we were expecting and suggested that we would NOT be having a party - it was Policy - no exceptions. We found this experience to be rude and almost degrading. For this Policy, I won't stay there again and won't be suggesting it to friends or family'
