Hampton by Hilton San Jose Airport
Perfect location for our very short stay in San Jose. 5 minutes from the airport, free airport shuttle from the car rental place, which was next to the hotel. Good breakfast too!

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Jose Aeropuerto, Costa Rica
Perfect place for family. Got the suite so 2 kids slept upstairs. No door on main bedroom which we didn’t care about but someone else might. Breakfast was delicious. Pool is cold but refreshing. Kids loved it
