We had toured most of Costa Rica for 18 days and we needed a place to stay in San Jose for 2 days prior to our departure. The Hotel Hojarascas was recommended to us by an acquaintance prior to our tour and so we reserved a room for my family and I. This hotel is in downtown Heredia and conveniently located 50 meters from a Catholic church, across the street from a super market and 100 meters from a mercado. From the outside the hotel appears small but once inside your amzazed how deep it realy is. It is very clean and well decorated. Jose, the manager, is extemely friendly and very helpful. He took greart pleasure in making sure we had all we needed and he is a pleasure to speak with. We were provided a room with a full kitchen, 2 bedrooms, a full bathroom, a living room with a television. We had the option of preparing our own breakfast or eating the one prepared by Jose. This included fresh fruits, cereals, yogurts, cheeses, fresh breads, excellent coffe, teas, fruit juices, jams and the run of the kitchen and dining area. We felt asthough this was our home away from home. The internet access is free and so is transportation to the airport 15 minutes away. I highly reccomend this hotel.
