Hampton by Hilton San Jose Airport

Hampton by Hilton San Jose Airport

10/10 Excellent
"Perfect location to the airport and car rental. Convenient free shuttle to and from airport. Breakfast included was good for a free hotel breakfast. Menu changed daily and food was not bad. Honestly, all the staff were extremely nice and helpful. Everyone working there went above and beyond to give great service with a smile, parking and shuttle staff, front desk, housekeeping and restaurant staff, everyone I interacted with was great. All staff spoke English so it was easy to communicate for travelers not bilingual. I stayed twice during my visit, once at the beginning of my 3 week vacation and again at the end of my vacation totaling 4 nights there total so I spent a bit of time there. Room was clean both times and I have no issues to complain about. Drive time in CR is unpredictable so being able to stay close by the airport gave me comfort knowing I wasn’t worried about missing my flight out or having to fly in and arrive late at night and drive somewhere right away. Rates were reasonable especially with complementary breakfast. There is a laundry room where I washed all my clothes after a hike to Poas in the rain so I didn’t have to pack wet clothes. There is a pool but I never got the chance to use it. One evening I went out and it seemed clean but it was too cold outside to use the pool. I was going to try again another time at the end of my vacation but it was pouring rain that time so no pool again. On my next visit to CR I would absolutely use this hotel again."
