“Great Hotel for the price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

Adventure Inn was a very nice and convenient stop after arriving in San Jose. The hotel picked us up from the airport with no delays. The hotel is clean, comfy and has nice decor. We did not stay long and arrived later in the evening so we didn't spend too much time at the hotel. However, the breakfast was awesome. I was not expecting to have my free breakfast cooked to order. I especially appreciated all the helpful information the owner gave us about Costa Rica. Overall nice place and reasonably priced. We payed much more for a lot less elsewhere in Costa Rica.

“Great place to start your vacation in Costa Rica”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

We were very impressed with our first night at Adventure Inn. We are going to several places but landed after 10pm, so we needed to stay one night near the airport. Our shuttle was waiting for us the minute we walked out of the airport. Driven directly to the hotel and check in was a breeze. Hotel is very nice and clean. Our room was perfect with a coffee maker to boot. We asked for a 8am shuttle to get our rental car and it was provided free of charge. In house breakfast was fantastic everything you need to start your day. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Great value.

Room Tip: We had a room in the back of the hotel upstairs. Had an outside patio with chairs near two other ro...

“Great staff... Especially Karla!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012 via mobile

Karla was amazing and the hotel felt very safe as it was outside of the city. Rooms had plenty of room and the food was quite good. The jacuzzi left a little to be desired as it wasn't really hot, but the free wii fi and access to computers, the great free breakfast, free international calls and free shuttle to airport made this hotel!!!!!!

“Excellent stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

We stayed at Adventure Inn for only one night. We had a whole day planned in San Jose and the next day half of our group was flying out of Costa Rica. It was a perfect location to do both!
Our room was huge with 3 big comfortable beds. The room was clean and had everything we needed. It was chilly so we did not use the pretty pool but loved the jacuzzi! We had a child with us so we enjoyed the duck ponds just 1 minute walk away and the small mall just 3 minutes away had a children's play store. The staff were so nice and the free breakfast was excellent. This is not your continental type breakfast, we ordered right off the menu! My favorite was the coffee set up in the room. I dont like staying at hotels where I have to get up and leave my room to have my first morning coffee. Free wifi in the room plus an internet station with several computers if you dont bring your own. Big T.V. ,Secure parking. Did I leave anything out? Ahh yes an excellent bar and full service restaurant. Again the whole staff from front desk, security to the restaurant and bar were so sweet and helpful! Enjoy your stay! I know I will be back!

Room Tip: There were 3 adults and 1 child in our group. I figured we would get 2 queen beds but we got three...
