For the most part, Costa Rica - San Jose in particular - is garbage. There is nothing nice about San Jose and the surrounding areas. The slummiest slums of America are gorgeous compared to San Jose. The same goes for Costa Rican cuisine. It is garbage. So imagine my surprise when I arrived in Costa Rica on business for the 3rd time in three months and checked into the TRYP Corobici for the first time. This hotel is NOT garbage. Yes. You’re reading this review correctly. A non-garbage hotel DOES exist in Costa Rica. The hotel is clean and the rooms are comfortable. The breakfast buffet is decent and won't cause too many bathroom visits (although Costa Rican coffee is famous for going in and out of you in less than 2 minutes). I ordered room service a few times and the food was actually delicious. Yes. Delicious. I know what you're thinking. "Delicious cuisine in Garbage Country?" But I swear, I'm not lying. It wasn't garbage. Corobici even houses a very impressive gym. We're talking two floors, a lap pool, a hot tub, all the latest machines, trainers, televisions, and pretty much anything else you'd find in a membership-style gym. In fact, the gym is home to paying members who aren't hotel guests (the hotel is only accessible from the gym to guests with a room key). The hotel is about 15-20 minutes from the airport via taxi. It's also not too far from downtown San Jose - maybe about 10 minutes or so. But really, unless you're into hookers or a fan of being mugged and/or murdered, there’s no reason to go to San Jose. Stay at the Corobici. It's not garbage.

I just spend 2 nights at this hotel.
Is well located near the center of San Jose, has big rooms, nice staff, but:
The Wireless Internet access in my room never worked and it was $10 for day....I have to use the lobby.
No Iron at the room, for the bussines traveler a must. I never bothered to ask if this was a normal thing.

Stayed at the Tryp Corobici for one night. It's in a good location between the airport and the city, right off the highway. Our room was clean and modern, with a huge marble bathroom. After a long day of traveling - our flight was delayed 4 hours - we were starving when we arrived around midnight. The room service food was good, reasonably priced and delivered quickly. Breakfast the next morning in the coffee shop was also very good. Staff were all pleasant to deal with. And thanks to the previous reviewer who recommended the computer on the 6th floor for internet! I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone and would stay there again if I were in San Jose.

We just stayed the one night. A typrical North American Hotel, with all the good points. Clean, well appointed, a little past its prime.
The staff were pleasant and helpful. The parking lot is well lit, is supervised, and is free.

The room was adequate, a little dark, the washroom was against the outside wall which limits the size of the window. The bathroom/ shower were fine. There is a pool, and the restaurent seemed very good.
The breakfast, included in the price of $85 (plus tax) was first rate by any standards. All the usual stuff for the muesli crowd, (fruit cereal, yoghurt) but eggs, bacon, sausage etc for real men.
We liked it, but will look for somewhere less expensive next time.
