It is in a good location, close to the square. A solid choice if you need to be close to the airport. No shuttle but they have one paid parking space (10 USD/night).

Alajuela it is the best place to visit and stay in Costa Rica ,it is safe and beautiful .
We didn't really see any of the city - just drove through to get from Jaco to the hotel/airport.
